Bupkis Renewed for Season 2 by Peacock
The Pete Davidson-led comedy Bupkis has been renewed for Season 2 by Peacock.
The semi-autobiographical TV show stars Davidson as an exaggerated version of himself “as he attempts to work through unique family dynamics and the complexities of fame to form meaningful relationships,” per its synopsis.
Bupkis stars Edie Falco and Joe Pesci and features a star-studded cast, including Colson Baker, John Mulaney, Sebastian Stan, and more.
The series debuted with its eight-episode first season on Thursday, May 4. A little over a month later, Variety confirmed the comedy’s renewal.
“Pete Davidson is a once-in-a-generation talent, and what he created with the first season of Bupkis absolutely blew us away,” Susan Rovner, Chairman of Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a statement, per TV Line.
“Pete has the rare ability to make you laugh out loud with his unfiltered brand of comedy, and then tear up with his raw and honest vulnerability.”
“We could not be more proud to continue on this journey with Pete, Lorne Michaels, Broadway Video, and our partners at Universal Television for a second season as we continue to bolster Peacock’s comedy slate,” Rovner concluded.
“Pete, Lorne, and the entire Bupkis team took audiences on a wild and emotionally captivating adventure in season one; from family weddings to drug-fueled road trips to lonely holidays on set, these authentic, outrageous, and emotionally candid escapades gave viewers the good, the bad, and the real that comes with stardom,” Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, added.
“We are grateful to Peacock for their support and can’t wait to once again climb inside the creative mind of Pete Davidson for Season 2,” Underhill concluded.
Davidson writes Bupkis with showrunner Judah Miller as well as Dave Sirus. Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michaels executive produces the series for Broadway Video. Miller, Sirus, Andrew Singer, and Erin David are also executive producers.
Bupkis comes from Universal Television and Broadway Video.
