Some big news today from Peacock regarding Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson's (The King of Staten Island) upcoming comedy series Bupkis, with the streamer confirming that the comedy series would debut all eight episodes on May 4th. Along with Davidson (who also writes & executive produces), the series stars Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie, The Sopranos) as Davidson's mom and Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, The Irishman) as Davidson's grandfather. In addition, Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I Want You Back), Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond, Fargo), Simon Rex (Red Rocket, P Island), Ray Romano (Get Shorty, Made for Love), Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live), and Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, City on Fire) are set to guest star. And now, you're getting a chance to see some of those familiar faces in the newest preview images released today.

The half-hour live-action comedy is a heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson's real life, combining grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Davidson is well known (and done well with). The show is expected to reflect Davidson's real-life persona with some unapologetically R-rated storytelling. Now, here's a look at the newest preview images for the upcoming series:
