Longtime Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson is staying in the NBCUniversal fold with his first TV starring vehicle.
Peacock has closed a deal for Bupkis, a half-hour live action comedy written, starring and executive produced by Davidson and executive produced by SNL honcho Lorne Michaels.
The project, a heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson’s life, was taken out to the marketplace in March, and NBCU’s streamer landed it in a competitive situation with a straight-to-series order.Bupkis, which Davidson is co-writing with his long-time friend and collaborator Dave Sirus as well as Judah Miller (Crashing), will combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely 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 an unapologetically R-rated storytelling.
Talks have already started with A-list talent for the ensemble cast around Davidson.Bupkis is executive produced by Davidson, Sirus and Miller as well as Broadway Video’s Michaels, Andrew Singer and Erin David.
