Aziz Ansari is probably best known for playing the lifestyle and brand-obsessed government drone Tom Haverford in Parks And Recreation, but he’s also a stand-up comic, a veteran of laugh-generating team Human Giant and constantly pops up in other shows and movies. He’s showing off his writing side with his own series for Netflix, Master Of None, which now has a trailer.
The show follows the personal and professional lives of 30-year-old actor Dev (Ansari) trying to figure out life as he makes his way in New York. He’s confronted by issues such as dating, being stereotyped at work, whether he wants to settle down and have a family and how to talk to somebody’s grandmother without assuming she’s a massive racist.
It’s all loosely based on Ansari’s own life, and not-so-loosely in the scenes where he interacts with Dev’s parents, played by his own mum and dad, Fatima and Shoukath. Along for the ride are a gathering of comedy types you might know including H. Jon Benjamin, Eric Wareheim, Noel Wells and Ravi Patel.
Master Of None arrives in its 10-episode entirety on the streaming service on November 6.
