Production


The series was first announced in March 2022, with Pete Davidson developing the series alongside Judah Miller and Dave Sirus, and Jason Orley set to direct. Davidson was also set to star. The series was given a greenlight by Peacock in April. The following month, Edie Falco was announced to play Davidson's mother in the series. In August, Joe Pesci was added to the cast as Davidson's grandfather. It was Pesci's second starring role in a television series, his first being the 1985 series Half Nelson.
Filming for the series began by October 2022, with a first look image of Davidson and Pesci released by Peacock. Most of the filming was done in New York. In April 2023, it was revealed that David Howard Thornton would appear in the series as Art the Clown. On June 23, 2023, Peacock renewed the series for a second season, but Davidson ultimately announced that he would not move forward with it.
