In his first screen comedy since the end of Parks and Recreation, comedian Aziz Ansari has cast 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.
The comedy won't be based on his life, and it will feature cameos from his real mother and father. Oh, and it also definitely won't be like Parks.
Netflix announced in April that it was ordering 10 episodes of a scripted sitcom from Ansari but didn't give much more in the way of details. The trailer reveals the comedian in his first leading part, following his roles in ensemble casts and MTV's weird, wonderful sketch show Human Giant.
Ansari wrote, produced and directed Master of None with Alan Yang, a former Parks writer, who happened to also play the bassist in Mouse Rat, that show's resident terrible grunge band. But that's where the Parks connections end.
