'Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens' Season 3 Teaser: Comedy Central's Live-Action Sitcom Returns On April 26

Awkwafina has a big 2023 ahead of her, with “Renfield” and “The Little Mermaid” hitting theaters this year. But don’t let that overshadow the return of her Comedy Central sitcom “Awkwafina Is Noria From Queens” for its third season next month. Not only is the last live-action show left on the network, but it’s arguably Awkwafina’s biggest creative project.

Why’s that? Well, on top of being a meta-narrative with Awkwafina playing a fictional version of herself, the actress/rapper/comedian also directs episodes of the show’s new season. So, another craft to add to her repertoire. The third season focuses on Nora as she navigates “themes of identity and success.” And of course, Nora’s family, like BD Wong‘s Wally and Bowen Yang‘s Edmund, are there to put her in her place when necessary. The series also stars Lori Tan Chinn and Jennifer Esposito.
