Netflix is giving viewers what they want — and that would apparently be another taste of Volodymyr Zelensky‘s TV show that launched him into stardom … and then the presidency.
The streaming giant announced Wednesday that ‘Servant of the People’ has been reintroduced to its library, saying … “You asked and it’s back!”
It followed with a description of the show … a teacher unexpectedly becomes President of Ukraine after a video of him complaining about corruption goes viral. Of course … life ended up imitating art for Zelensky soon thereafter.
You asked and it’s back!

Netflix is running 2 seasons and change. This isn’t the first go-round for “SOTP” on Netflix … it was on its menu from 2017 to 2021.
There’s intense interest in Zelensky, both with his ascendency to power and his evolution as a leader who now shows shades of Winston Churchill.
BTW … the show is subtitled … although there are moments when the cast breaks into English…
It’ll be interesting to track the success of the show on Netflix … our money is on intense viewing by lots of folks around the world.
