The series aired for three seasons and came to its conclusion after Zelensky made the decision to run for president of Ukraine in 2019 under the banner of a new political party called Servant of the People.

Speaking on the show, Swedish TV group Echho Rights managing partner, Nicola Söderlund', said: "The series is a comedy but also an important document of where Zelensky comes from.

"His fictional president is a normal man, who grows into his role as a heroic and adored leader.

"While the real-world scenario facing Zelensky and the Ukrainian people is far more grim and appalling than the comedy of the series, there are obvious parallels with the real-world situation, and Servant of the People is a fascinating, important, and historic piece of television."
