The 'Master of None' season 2 trailer takes Dev on a wild (Vespa) ride

The time has finally come for Netflix to reveal the first trailer for Master of None season 2. With the show returning in May, the streamer has given fans a new preview, teasing Italian adventures and a return to New York City.

As the trailer shows, season 2 continues to follow Dev (played by Aziz Ansari) as he figures out what he wants from life. Having followed through with his season 1 decision to travel to Italy and make pasta, he gets to bike around cobblestone streets, ride a Vespa through gorgeous countryside, and drink tiny cups of espresso. The preview has a definite Roman Holiday vibe at times, especially with the black-and-white shots thrown in.

As amazing as Dev’s time in Italy looks, though, he does make his way back to New York. There, we seem to get more of many of the elements that made season 1 so entertaining and relatable. The trailer shows more of Dev with his parents (played by Ansari’s real-life parents), for example, as well as his return to the dating scene.

Over the course of season 1, Master of None explored relevant issues like family, adulthood, love, and race. That will clearly continue in its sophomore season, too. We’re also expecting just as many awkward and hilarious moments, even though the dialogue-less trailer didn’t show off any of the jokes to come.

In Season 2, stars Lena Waithe and Eric Wareheim return, plus there will be appearances from guest stars John Legend, Bobby Cannavale, and Angela Bassett. Master of None comes from co-creators Ansari and Alan Yang, both of whom executive produce alongside Michael Schur, Dave Becky, David Miner, and Igor Shrubshchik. The series is produced by Universal Television.

Master of None season 2 starts streaming on Netflix on May 12.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)
Ritu Arya and Priya Kansara in Polite Society.

Things are admittedly slow on Amazon Prime Video during the final weekend of April. Fortunately, the martial arts action comedy Polite Society should be able to bring you some excitement this weekend. Romantic comedy fans can also check out How to Date Billy Walsh, a film that has entered the list of the top 10 most popular movies on Prime Video.

If neither of these films are for you, don't worry. This roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video has something for just about everyone. And on May 1, a whole new batch of movies will arrive, with even more to come as we inch closer to summer.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.

Netflix couldn't have asked for a better late April gift than the streaming premiere of Anyone But You. Thanks to Netflix's deal with Sony, 2024's blockbuster rom-com is already on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, leaving Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver in second place. But things could be much worse for Rebel Moon – Part Two, which is performing well a week after its debut.

The other new addition for the week is King Richard, a sports drama starring Will Smith that's appearing on loan from Warner Bros. Discovery. It's also one of Netflix's top movies of the week, which suggests that the film may find sustained popularity on this platform that it didn't get on Max.

The cast of Dead Boy Detectives.

For the final weekend of April, Netflix has debuted one last original show for the month: Dead Boy Detectives. This series was a bit of a gamble because it was dropped by Max. And it might be humiliating for the Warner Bros. Discovery regime if Dead Boy Detectives goes from being a castoff to a breakout hit. Netflix may be able to create lighting in a bottle, but it doesn't always work out, as exemplified by the disappointing performance of the resurrected Girls5eva earlier this year.

The other new addition this week is White Collar, a forbearer of Suits on the USA Network that ended 10 years ago. All six seasons of White Collar are now available, and it's already one of the most popular shows on Netflix. If White Collar can come anywhere close to the success that Suits has had on Netflix, then we can probably expect to see more shows like this in the future.
