Netflix will bring back the comedy-satirical-political series of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, "Servant of the People".

"You asked and he came back! "The Servant of the People is still available on Netflix in the US," the broadcaster said.

In the series, which aired from 2015 to 2019, Zelensky plays the role of a teacher, who suddenly becomes president of Ukraine after a video of him complaining about corruption went viral. Zelensky, 44, is a former actor and comedian, and returned to the entertainment business after earning a law degree from Kiev University of Economics. He was elected president of Ukraine in 2019.

Interest in the series began to grow after Russia invaded Ukraine last month and Zelensky appeared on social media, staying challenging on the streets of Kiev with members of Parliament urging citizens to fight. The series was removed from Netflix in the US, but was available on YouTube.
