Peacock: ‘Bupkis’ Official Trailer Released

The official trailer has been released for Peacock original Bupkis, starring Pete Davidson (Guy Code, School Dance), according to Variety. Co-written and executive produced by Davidson, Bupkis is a comedy series inspired by Davidson’s life. According to the show’s logline, the eight-episode series incorporates a mix of grounded storytelling and absurd elements that showcase Davidson’s unique and unfiltered worldview, for which he is well-known.

In the trailer’s opening, according to Variety, there are quick flashes of tabloid headlines about Davidson, followed by a clip of him admitting, “I googled myself yesterday. People think I’m, like, a joke for some reason.” Viewers are also introduced to Davidson’s on-screen grandfather, played by Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Home Alone), who warns him about his immature behavior. “They think you’re a joke because you are a joke.”

As reported by Deadline, the trailer also has Davidson screaming on a roller coaster and enjoying a wild ride with Bobby Cannavale (The Pacifier, Ant-Man). The trailer includes brief glimpses of guest stars such as Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie), who portrays Davidson’s mother, John Mulaney (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Mulaney An Opening Act), Steve Buscemi (Big Daddy, Pulp Fiction), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond, Ice Age), Jon Stewart (The Daily Show, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Sebastian Stan (Red Doors, Law & Order), Kenan Thompson (All That, Good Burger), Machine Gun Kelly (The Dirt, Downfalls High), and Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies, On the Rocks).
