Pete Davidson will star in a Peacock series based on his own life. The half-hour comedy series is described as a "heightened, fictionalized version of Pete Davidson's real life" that will combine grounded stories with absurd elements.

There isn't much information about Bupkis, such as when it will debut or how many episodes to expect. The series was acquired in a highly competitive situation, and it looks to be a notable win for the streamer. Earlier this year, the company revealed plans to double its spending on original content, with a $3 billion budget for 2022.
