Watch Joe Pesci play Pete Davidson’s grandfather in ‘Bupkis’ trailer

The comedian plays a fictionalised version of himself in the series opposite Edie Falco

A trailer has been released for Pete Davidson’s upcoming comedy series Bupkis – check it out above.

The Peacock series is described as a “heightened, fictionalised version” of the comedian’s real life, where Davidson plays himself. The Sopranos actor Edie Falco plays Davidson’s mother, while Joe Pesci stars as his grandfather.

“The series combines grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Pete is well known,” a synopsis reads.

As shown in the trailer, there’s a huge roster of guest stars including Charlie Day, John Mulaney, Kenan Thompson and Jon Stewart. Others confirmed to appear include Sebastian Stan, Machine Gun Kelly, Al Gore, Method Man, Nathan Fillion among others.
