Master of None, Aziz Ansari‘s brilliant Netflix comedy that took on race, romantic relationships, dealing with aging parents, and coping with modern life in general was Under the Radar‘s #1 TV show of 2015. We were deprived in 2016, with no new episodes, but Ansari and Netflix have just announced that season 2 premieres on May 12. He has also shared the first teaser trailer for the season. It doesn’t show much, beyond Ansari and co-star Eric Wareheim riding scooters it what seems like the European countryside. Watch it below.

Ansari co-wrote all but one of season 1’s 10 episodes and also directed two of them. The show is loosely based on Ansari’s own life experiences, but unlike similar comedies Louie and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Ansari is not playing himself but instead is a character named Dev, who’s a struggling 30-year-old actor in New York. Ansari’s real life parents play his mom and dad on the show and Noel Wells played his girlfriend in season 1. [Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen season 1.] The European setting would make sense since at the end of season 1 Dev decided to move to Italy to study pasta-making.
