According to IndieWire, the upcoming instalment is titled Master of None Presents: Moments in Love. Ansari has directed all five episodes that he wrote with Lena Waithe.

This time the show will reportedly follow Waithe's character Denise, friend to Ansari's Dev. The character was the focus in Season 2's episode "Thanksgiving", which won an Emmy for outstanding comedy writing. Master of None's first season had also won Ansari and co-writer Yang an Emmy.

In 2018, Ansari faced a controversial #MeToo allegation with a viral story that divided opinions whether it was really a story of sexual harassment or simply a bad date.

In the story published in babe.net in January 2018, a woman with the pseudonym Grace described a date with Ansari during which she felt he had been overly aggressive, and had pressured her into sex.

Ansari, 38, apologised but said the encounter had been consensual. He addressed the allegations later in his stand up act Aziz Ansari: Right Now in July 2019.
