Production for the Peacock series has begun — and with it comes a peek at Davidson and Joe Pesci in character. The first snap from the set shows Davidson — playing a fictionalized version of himself — sitting on a boating dock beside Pesci, who plays Davidson's grandfather. Both appear to be glancing up from an iPad at something in the distance. Joe Pesci Joins Pete Davidson and Edie Falco in Peacock's Bupkis The series will follow a dramatized version of Davidson's life, while making room for "R-rated" and " unfiltered" comedy moments, according to Deadline's first report of the series. Peacock says the series, which will be comprised of half-hour episodes, will "combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Pete is well known." Joining Pesci, 79, and Davidson, 28, is Nurse Jackie alum, Edie Falco, who has been cast as Davidson's mom. Though Davidson stepped away from Saturday Night Live in 2022, SNL creator, Lorne Michaels, serves as executive producer.
