'Master of None' Season 3: Air time, how to live stream, plot, cast, and what to expect from the Netflix show
Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang's popular dramedy series 'Master of None' is finally back on Netflix this May. One of Netflix's most popular series first released in 2015 and came back for its sophomore run in 2017. In 2018, Aziz Ansari was hit with sexual misconduct allegations and at first, it was believed that Netflix held off the announcement of the third season to avoid repercussions.
But it all proved to be wrong when the streaming giant announced a stand-up special - Aziz Ansari's 'Right Now' and it was received well amongst audiences. But there was still no word about 'Master of None' until April 2021 and even though the show was still listed as TBD, fans were very excited that the long-awaited show was finally making a comeback. A few days later, the first look trailer of the show that was coming back with the new name 'Master of None Presents: Moments in Love' was released. Here's what you can expect from the show.
