Pete Davidson says 'this part of my life is finished' when addressing Bupkis' now-scrapped second season.
It was announced last summer that Peacock had renewed Pete Davidson's Bupkis only one month after the show debuted on the site. The semi-autobiographical comedy was described as"a heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson's real life." The show also starred Edie Falco and Joe Pesci, and was a hit with critics and fans, earning a 78% critics score and a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"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," Davidson said."Of all the work I've ever done, Bupkis is by far what I'm most proud of.
It was reported by THR that Davidson's agent emailed Peacock this week about the actor's decision, but did not update Broadway Video on the news. Production for the second season was supposed to begin in the summer in New York. "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, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, shared in a statement when the show's second season was announced."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.
