If you've been dying of the wait for the premiere of Master of None Season 2 on May 12, relax. We finally have a Master of None Season 2 trailer, and it will blow your mind. After releasing a teaser trailer on his Instagram, Aziz Ansari has given us an official look at Season 2 and what's to come. You may need to sit down for this one.

In the extended trailer, we see the actor failing for a fifth and sixth time at New York's casual dating scene, being serenaded (with piano accompaniment) by John Legend, and thoroughly enjoying his developing relationships with friends, and, perhaps, someone a little more intimate. The Jabbawockeez also seem to be making an appearance, and we even get to see Ansari and best friend (Eric Wareheim) practicing some masked moves of their own.

One thing's for sure: we've all been waiting to reunite with the diverse set of characters on the show that landmark addresses ageism, cultural barriers, gender-norms, and white male privilege. Master of None shook up media when it debuted back in 2015. I know I'll be tuning in and marathon watching just to see where Ansari can push the envelope to next. Watch the official trailer below, and don't forget to tune in to Netflix May 12 for its official debut.

Editor's Note: On Jan. 13, Ansari was accused of sexual misconduct by a woman who went on a date with him. Ansari has since responded to the claims, saying:

"In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.

The next day, I got a text from her saying that although 'it may have seemed okay,' upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.

I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue."
