Pete Davidson announces something new

Pete Davidson is officially stepping into podcasting, adding a new chapter to his ever-evolving career. 

The comedian and actor announced on Wednesday, January 14, that he is launching a new podcast titled The Pete Davidson Show, set to premiere later this month on Netflix.

According to a press release, the podcast will drop weekly and promises relaxed, candid conversations with Davidson at the center. 

The former Saturday Night Live star plans to film the show primarily from his garage, a setting he joked is “where all the best conservations happen”, while also taking the podcast on the road for select episodes.

The show is being teased as a space for open, unfiltered discussions, with Netflix describing it as featuring “candid, no-holds-barred conversations.”

Davidson explained why Netflix felt like the right home for the project, saying, “Netflix was the home of one of my first stand-up specials, so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It’s me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It’s going to be a great time.” 

His connection with the streamer runs deep. 

He first partnered with Netflix in 2020 for Pete Davidson: Alive from New York, followed by his 2024 stand-up special Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli. 

In between, he also curated and hosted Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends in 2022 as part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

The timing of the announcement marks a busy and meaningful period in Davidson’s life. 

Just one month ago, he and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, welcomed their daughter, making this new venture part of a fresh personal and professional chapter.

The Pete Davidson Show is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Friday, January 30, at 12:01 a.m. PT. 

With his signature humour, a familiar group of friends, and a laid-back format, the podcast is expected to give fans a closer look at Davidson beyond the stage, continuing his long-standing relationship with Netflix while offering something entirely new.
