Bupkis is a new comedy series streaming exclusively on Peacock Premium in 2023. The show stars Pete Davidson in a fictionalized version of himself as he navigates the ups and downs of relationships and his career in New York City. Bupkis provides a peek behind the curtain of Pete Davidson's public persona to showcase the comedian's real life in a hilarious, raw, and unfiltered way. As one of the most popular cast members on Saturday Night Live in recent years, audiences have gotten to know Pete's witty humor and self-deprecating charm. Bupkis builds on that, with Pete playing an exaggerated version of himself that lands him in various awkward, embarrassing, and outrageous situations.

With Pete's Staten Island family and friends along for the ride, Bupkis has an improvisational feel as Pete's world collides with eccentric side characters. Edie Falco stars as Pete's mom, and Joe Pesci plays Pete's grandfather. The show airs in half-hour episodes, each with a loose narrative tied together by Pete's misadventures.

Whether it's dating mishaps, career snafus, or family drama, Bupkis finds the funny in Pete Davidson's real life experiences. Self-aware jokes and absurd moments punctuate the show as Pete attempts to navigate life while in the spotlight. With an improv background, Pete thrives in the semi-scripted scenes, riffing off his co-stars and bringing outlandish scenarios to life. The show has a cringe-comedy vibe at times as Pete lands himself in sticky situations.

Bupkis also provides glimpses into Pete's relationships, dating life, childhood memories, career, and more. As a cast member on a hit sketch comedy series, Pete's profession plays a role in the show as well. Backstage moments, interactions with fans, and the craziness surrounding Pete as a celebrity in New York all factor into the storylines.

Overall, Bupkis offers something completely different than typical sitcoms or sketch shows while showcasing Pete Davidson's signature personality. Unfiltered, honest, and completely uncensored, Bupkis gives audiences a one-of-a-kind look at the comedian's world. With a talented supporting cast, hilarious comedic situations, and Pete's natural charisma and humor, Bupkis is poised to become one of Peacock's most buzzworthy new comedies. Fans of Pete Davidson finally get to see the star in his own semi-fictionalized world in the highly-anticipated show Bupkis.
