Cowie says he learned just about everything he knows about classical music from driving around Los Angeles at night and listening to Jim Svejda's KUSC radio show (and also reading a book that he wrote). There was also room for one more easter egg in the Season 3 soundtrack. One piece of music was Ansari's idea: 'Danza Kuduro,' or, as Cowie calls it, 'the Fast and Furious song that plays in the laundromat.' This was just a purely relatable moment: 'Hilarious yet somehow deeply moving,' he says. Any other pieces of music, he adds, came about as he began to see the dailies, and see the performances come to life on screen. 'She became a bit of a northstar for all of us thru the whole process.'Ĭowie adds that he saw Norman as Season 3's 'narrator,' and was inspired by the silence in the theater when he saw Alfonso Cuarón's Roma. 'My ex’s uncle turned me on to her a few years back, and i’m so grateful that he did,' he says. He worked super closely with Ansari and Yang, and when Ansari first told him about the basic Season 3 story arc, he immediately had the idea to include Jessye Norman. And in that search, he connected everything with one unifying theme: 'Less is more,' he says of this season's cues. Zach Cowie has been the music supervisor for all three seasons of Master of None, and he says he was looking to capture reality when choosing the music for Season 3. But amidst all the change, one thing remains the same: the show's inspired musical choices, constantly finding the right musical cue for its character moment. The show's sort of wide-ranging comedic lens instead shifts to one clearly inspired by legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage (either a film or a miniseries, depending on who you talk to, that is also being adapted into an HBO miniseries starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain later this year). And where Ansari's Dev was previously the primary focus of the show, he now only appears as an ancillary character. But Season 3 takes a different approach where Season 1 and 2 focused on the character of Dev (Ansari) as he navigated different slice of life topics (but mostly focused in on dating and relationships), Season 3 shifts the lens to his friend Densie (Lena Waithe) for a truncated season focusing on her marriage to a new character, a woman named Alicia ( Star Warsstar Naomie Ackie).Īt only five episodes, the season is half the length of the first two installments. “Master of None” returns to Netflix May 23.After nearly four years away, Netflix's Master of None-a passion project of creators Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang-is back for Season 3.

No word on whether or not “Boomerang” will come back for a third season, but “Twenties” has been renewed for a second.

The “Queen & Slim” screenwriter also created “Boomerang” and “Twenties,” both of which air on BET. She created the former, which is set to return for its fourth season on Showtime May 23. “The Chi” and “Westworld” are among Waithe’s on-screen credits. The first two seasons of the comedy centered on his character, Dev, who does not appear in the trailer for Season 3. Ansari was accused of sexual misconduct in 2018. Waithe co-wrote Season 3 with Aziz Ansari, who created “Master of None” with Alan Yang.

A montage of the couple’s highlights and lowlights play out with glimpses of romantic dancing and bitter arguments. A new trailer for the series sees Denise presenting Alicia with a hypothetical. Titled “Moments in Love,” “Master of None’s” third season focuses on Denise and her partner Alicia’s (Naomi Ackie, “The End of the F***ing World”) relationship. It’s been four years since “Master of None’s” second season dropped, and its return to Netflix will see Denise (Waithe) switching gears from supporting character to series lead. She was recognized for co-writing “Thanksgiving,” an episode in “Master of None’s” second season that depicted her character’s coming out journey.

Lena Waithe made Emmy history back in 2017 when she became the first Black woman to take home the honor for comedy writing.
