Netflix Cancels Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj as Late Night Struggles Continue

Weekly series ends after almost 2-year run

With 193 million and counting global subscribers, Netflix has managed to find success in nearly every TV genre—but there’s still one format that continues to elude the streamer: late night.

The streaming service has canceled its latest late-night series, Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj, announced today by Minhaj on Twitter.

“What a run. @patriotact has come to an end. I got to work with the best writers, producers, researchers and animators in the game,” the former Daily Show correspondent, who was the first Indian-American host of a weekly comedy show, tweeted.
