“Master of None Season 2 coming in 2017,” he said in the video posted to his Facebook page. “Thanks for all the support everyone.”
The show follows Ansari, depicted as a character named “Dev,” a commercial actor living in New York City whose best known for his appearance in a Go-Gurt commercial.
On the movie and TV rating website Rotten Tomatoes, Master of None, has received a critical response — the show holds an approval rating of 100 percent, based on 53 reviews, and an average score of 8.9/10. On Metacritic, the series holds a 91 out of 100 based on 31 reviews, giving the show “universal acclaim” status. James Poinewozik of The New York Times called it “the year’s best comedy straight out of the gate” and a “mature rom-com.”
Master of None was ranked one of the top 10 shows of the year be several publications, including Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, TV Guide, Time magazine, People magazine, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times.
Ansari and co-creator Alan Yang said season 1 was such a personal endeavor, the two wanted to make certain there was enough fuel left in the tank before agreeing to a second season. The duo implemented several personal aspects of their own lives into the show — “We really put a lot of aspects of our life into this show, and that’s part of the reason we don’t want to rush into season two,” Yang said.
