"Bupkis" Season 2 is now off the table, as Pete Davidson has confirmed. Actor-comedian Davidson has decided to stop production on the semi-autobiographical series about his life, "Bupkis," despite the show being renewed for a highly anticipated second season.
Davidson, who both co-wrote and starred in the series, shared the news on Thursday evening, and he chose to not continue with his Peacock comedy, which had previously been approved for another season. However, he did not disclose the reason behind his decision to end the show.
His Statement
“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.”
About ‘Bupkis’
"Bupkis," created by Pete Davidson, Judah Miller, and Dave Sirus, provided a "highly fictionalized" look into Davidson's life, drawing comparisons to the style of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for Larry David.
The show depicted Davidson's character returning back to Staten Island to reside with his mother, portrayed by Edie Falco, while grappling with his grandfather's terminal cancer illness, played by Joe Pesci.
The ensemble cast also included Bobby Cannavale, Brad Garrett, Shane Gillis, Charlie Day, Kenan Thompson, Steve Buscemi, Jon Stewart, and John Mulaney. The series premiered on May 4, 2023, and ran for eight episodes.
