· "Pete, Lorne and the entire Bupkis team took audiences on a wild and emotionally captivating adventure in season one; from family weddings to drug-fueled road trips to lonely holidays on set, these authentic, outrageous, and emotionally candid escapades gave viewers the good, the bad, and the real that comes with stardom," said Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television. "We are grateful to Peacock for their support, and can't wait to once again climb inside the creative mind of Pete Davidson for season two."
