Pete Davidson To Play a Fictional Version of Himself in Upcoming Comedy Series 'Bupkis'
Expected to be a mix of his real life with R-rated storytelling.
Pete Davidson is set to star in a fictional comedy series called Bupkis, which is inspired by his real life. The Lorne Michaels project is being compared to Larry David’s HBO sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm.
According to Deadline, “Bupkis is described as a raw, unflinching, fictionalized version of Pete Davidson’s real life. It will include a mixture of grounded storytelling with absurd elements depicting an unfiltered view through Pete’s eyes.”
In addition to starring in the series, which has so far gotten the attention of streamers like Prime Video and Peacock, Davidson will serve as a co-writer. He will also be executive producing along with Michaels, Andrew Singer and Erin David.
Davidson has a few projects up his sleeves. The comedian-slash-actor is currently on leave from Saturday Night Live to film James DeMonaco’s horror thriller The Home.
Stay tuned for updates on Davidson in Bupkis.
