Format of Priyanka Chopra's new show ‘The Activist’ changed due to criticism

Amid the ongoing criticism, CBS and producing partners Global Citizen and Live Nation issued a statement announcing the change in 'The Activist' format featuring Priyanka Chopra.

Washington: After facing huge backlash, actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ new series ‘The Activist’ is now being reconfigured. According to Variety, the makers of the upcoming project have shifted its five-episode format to a one-time documentary special.

For the unversed, ‘The Activist’ aims to pit several activists and public figures against each other in order to promote their causes on social media with the goal of securing the highest amount of funding to win the game.

Many social media users have called out the competitive series, which has Priyanka, Usher, and Julianne Hough as hosts. They slammed the show for being tone-deaf and insensitive.
