Pete Davidson’s ‘Bupkis’ Comedy Series Gets Premiere Date On Peacock
deadline.comSNL alum Pete Davidson’s Bupkis, a comedy series inspired by his life, has a premiere date at Peacock. All eight episodes of the comedy which he wrote, executive produced and stars in, will drop on Thursday, May 4 on the streamer.
Bupkis, which Davidson co-wrote with his longtime friend and collaborator Dave Sirus as well as showrunner Judah Miller, will combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and original worldview for which Davidson is known.
The show, which has been compared to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, is expected to reflect Davidson’s real-life persona with unapologetically R-rated storytelling.
Described as a heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson’s real life, the series also stars Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie, The Sopranos) as Davidson’s mom and Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, The Irishman) as Davidson’s grandfather.
