All good things must come to an end! Pete Davidson has walked away from the planned second season of his semi-autobiographical Peacock comedy, Bupkis. Peacock picked up Bupkis for a second season in June 2023, nearly two months after the show debuted. The decision not to move forward “had nothing to do with the industry-wide budget cuts,” according to an inside source.
In a statement, Pete said “I’ve always seen Bupkis as a window into my life, since it is so personal and about my struggles and family. After nearly a decade of my personal life being in the media I wanted a chance to tell my story my way. Of all the work I’ve ever done, Bupkis is by far what I’m most proud of. I am so grateful to Lorne Michaels and Broadway Video, Peacock, Universal Television and the amazing cast and writers for helping me create something honest, funny and heartfelt. I do also feel that this part of my life is finished. I’m very excited for this next chapter and for you guys to see the work. Thank you to all who support me for I am forever grateful.”
Pete co-starred in the series alongside Edie Falco and Joe Pesci. Excited to see what’s next for him!
