Zarna Garg is bringing a stand-up comedy special to Netflix.
The tagline for the currently untitled special, which will debut on the streamer in 2027, says that it “will go where Garg previously hasn’t — embracing being
American!” She “finds that being American isn’t half bad. She’s discovered the beauty of saying no. She’s learned to accept her kids’ dating choices and is even encouraging people to go get therapy — not her of course.”
Smriti Mundhra, best known as the creator of the Netflix reality dating series “Indian Matchmaking,” is the director of Garg’s special, which is produced by 3 Arts Entertainment. Executive producers include Garg, her producing partner Samama Moontaha and 3 Arts’ Adam Triplett.
This marks Garg’s third stand-up special overall, and her first for Netflix. In 2023, her debut special “Zarna Garg: One in a Billion” debuted on Amazon Prime Video, while Hulu released her second special “Zarna Garg: Practical People Win” in 2025. She is currently on tour titled “Million Dollar Excuses,” and in the past opened for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on their “Restless Leg” tour.
Garg’s scripted credits include the 2025 rom-com film “A Nice Indian Boy” and an episode of Mindy Kaling’s Hulu comedy series “Not Suitable for Work.” She has also developed shows with Kaling and Kevin Hart. Up next, she’ll appear in Amazon MGM’s holiday comedy “Clashing Through the Snow.” Additionally, Garg is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir “This American Woman,” published via Random House in 2025, and hosts the “Zarna Garg Family Podcast” with her husband and children.
Garg is repped by 3 Arts, UTA and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
“No one expected a short, chubby, brown woman to sell out iconic venues around the world — and much to her own chagrin, become a feminist icon. It’s a milestone on the way to the tombstone,” Garg said in a statement.
