Definitely seems like they're sweeping this under the rug a bit, right? The first few seasons seemed incredibly popular with critics and the audience. Is it leftover issues with Aziz Ansari's "Me Too" issue? Why make a new season at all?

The announcement of Master of None Season 3 was included in a broad list of Netflix announcements without any special fanfare, to the surprise of many. Some questioned why the company would give so little attention to the update, for better or worse.

Apparently Season 3 of Master of None takes place in London. Looks like it was one of the many productions halted last year due to COVID-19. https://t.co/HRmvaDAizW

There have been reports and rumors over the last few months that Master of None Season 3 was in production, though clearly, they did not reach a wide audience. The fans who did see these reports felt like they were ahead of the curve on Wednesday's news.
prevnextRetrospective
There were some really thought provoking episodes (and a couple that missed the mark) in the existing series, look forward to this.

The renewal had some fans thinking back on the previous two seasons without re-watching them, and deciding whether or not it would be worth it to jump into the next installment. Most seemed eager for another chance.

Knowing that it was up to Ansari as much as Netflix to bring the show back, many fans thanked the comedian for returning in spite of the obvious dangers to his reputation.
prevnextCanceled
Guess Aziz Ansari was uncancelled, i'm hype for Master of None S3

Master of None with Aziz Ansari has a new season on Netflix?? Its coming out in May. I thought it got canceled??
— Michael Williams (@Biggydawg315) April 21, 2021
Finally, commentary on Ansari being "canceled" was broached cautiously and sparingly on social media, with no real consensus on his actions or his apology. Master of None Season 3 is expected to hit Netflix sometime in May of 2021.
