Aziz Ansari

Comedian Aziz Ansari is sticking with Netflix. The streaming service has bought ten half-hour comedy episodes from Ansari.

While the details and plot have not been disclosed, Variety says Ansari will star in the still untitled show along with Jon Benjamin, Lena Waithe, Eric Wareheim, Noel Wells and Kelvin Yu.

Ansari co-created the show with Alan Yang and will serve as executive producer with Yang, former "Parks and Recreation" boss Michael Shur, Dave Becky and David Miner.

The new show, to be filmed in New York, follows recent Netflix deals to air his stand-up specials "Aziz Ansari: Live at Madison Square Garden" and "Buried Alive."
