Peacock Drops First Look at Pete Davidson and Joe Pesci on Set of Upcoming Comedy Series “Bupkis” as Production Begins

Production is underway for the new Pete Davidson comedy series BUPKIS, which is written, starring, and executive produced by Davidson. The series also stars Emmy Award-winner Edie Falco, who will play Davidson’s mom, and Academy Award-winner Joe Pesci, who will play Davidson’s grandfather.

BUPKIS, a half-hour live-action comedy, is a heightened, fictionalized version of Pete Davidson’s real life. The series will combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Pete is well known.

Lorne Michaels will executive produce for Broadway Video, Judah Miller (Showrunner) and Dave Sirus are writing and executive producing alongside executive producers Andrew Singer and Erin David. Jason Orley will direct and co-executive produce. Series comes from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Broadway Video.
