Pete Davidson is all set to star as a fictional version of himself in a new comedy series, Variety confirmed on Thursday, March 10.
The show, a project of Saturday Night Live showrunner Lorne Michael’s Broadway video and Universal Television, has a tentative title of Bupkis and is reportedly waiting to be picked up by a streamer.
Davidson will not only star in Bupkis, but also serve as a co-writer with David Sirus and Judah Miller. He is also an executive producer, alongside Michaels, Sirus, Miller, Andrew Singer, and Erin David.
According to Deadline, Bupkis will follow the same premise as Larry David’s hit sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm in which David navigates celeb life.
Bupkis won’t be Davidson’s first attempt at writing and starring in a show or film; he famously drew inspiration from himself to pen Judd Apatow’s King of Staten Island, in which he also starred.
