Still not over not seeing Tom Haverford on TV every week? Well, meet Dev Shah.
Aziz Ansari finally spilled the beans Thursday — or a few of them, at least — on “Master of None,” his new scripted comedy series for Netflix that debuts Nov. 6.
In a two-minute trailer, the comedian, best known for his stand-up and his turn as a small-town bureaucrat turned baller on NBC’s “Parks &Recreation,” casts himself as Dev Shah, an actor fumbling his way through relationships, work and this weird thing we call life. (And, as the title of the show suggests, Dev’s not exactly great at any of it. )
In a brief ask-me-anything session on Twitter on Thursday afternoon, Ansari revealed even more: The comedy won’t be based on his life, and it will feature cameos from his real mother and father. He also had some fun explaining how the show differs from both the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” and HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Oh, and it also definitely won’t be like “Parks.”
Ansari wrote, produced and directed “Master of None” with Alan Yang, a former “Parks” writer.
