Netflix wants more Master of None: Aziz Ansari comedy renewed for season 2

As the creator, writer, and star of the Netflix comedy series Master of None, Aziz Ansari must feel a little like the show is his baby. Fortunately, he’ll get to watch the series grow up now that Netflix has renewed it for a second season.

Ansari announced the renewal on social media Thursday, thanking fans for their support and sharing that season two will be released sometime next year. It’s not a very specific window, so it could be a long wait. Season one was added to the streamer in November 2015, so hopefully the next set of episodes will come much earlier in the year.

In Ansari’s tweet about season two, he included a short video. Being so early, there wasn’t any footage from the upcoming season, of course, but we did get some buzzwords to whet our appetites. The video shows terms like “Plan B,” “parents,” “the other man,” “Indians on TV,” and more, so it looks like we’ll see the show continue to tackle interesting issues as in the first season.

While Netflix hasn’t released any official numbers for how many viewers watched Master of None season one, data released by NBC put it at around 3.9 million on average per episode. It’s important to note, however, that Netflix’s chief content officer said the data was inaccurate, so the number could very well be higher. Whatever the case, Master of None was well-received by audiences and critics alike; the show won a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Series, and Ansari was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.

Here’s hoping for an early 2017 premiere for Master of None season two.

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup. Netflix is making sure that animation fans are well served in August with the first two Despicable Me movies, Bee Movie, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
