From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

For a modest show with seemingly modest ambitions, Aziz Ansari’s Master of None became a huge hit in 2015, seeing Aziz’s character Dev navigating the world of modern romance while taking a sideways look at race and gender.

A second season was a certainty, but now we know exactly when it will arrive, the comedian writing on Twitter: “Master of None Season 2 premieres May 12th on Netflix.”

Here’s the official season 2 synopsis from Netflix:

'After traveling abroad, Dev returns to New York to take on challenges in his personal and family life, a new career opportunity, and a complex, developing relationship with someone very meaningful to him.'

The teaser trailer sees Dev and Arnold (Eric Wareheim) riding mopeds through what looks to be rural Italy, suggesting he did make it out there to attend pasta school.

Aziz conceived the show, which co-stars Noel Wells, Lena Waithe, Eric Wareheim, and Kevin Yu, like one of his stand-up routines, with each episode focusing on a different topic.
