Comedy Central rolled out the official trailer today for its new show Awkwafina is Nora from Queens. As you might have figured out from the title, the show which debuts January 22 stars Awkwafina as Nora, a young resident of Queens trying to find herself.
As the show’s publicity material says, “Nora might have grown up in New York, but that doesn’t mean she’s a grown-up.”
If the trailer is any indication, Comedy Central has a hit on its hands.
The show is a return to comedy for the former rapper who most recently starred in the critically acclaimed dramatic movie, Farewell. The break out star from Crazy Rich Asians is clearly on a roll and Awkwafina is Nora from Queens promises to keep her career on an upward progression.
