First discovered on the platform's international listings and confirmed by Gadgets 360 via the Netflix website, his stand-up special, “Vir Das: Landing,” sees the titular comedian delving deep into his childhood in India, “the perils of outrage, and finding his feet in the world.” This marks his fourth Netflix stand-up special, excluding 2020's Outside In, where he performed online shows to a homebound audience, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. His new Netflix collaboration comes after an almost two-year break, during which he starred in Judd Apatow's The Bubble.
