Dave Star Confirms FXX Sitcom’s Cancellation After Season 3

Two years after season 3 of the 90% Rotten Tomatoes sitcom ended, Dave star Andrew Santino confirms that the FXX present is formally over. The sequence revolved round a fictional model of the aspiring and neurotic rapper David “Dave” Burd, whose stage identify is Lil Dicky.

There was ongoing hypothesis about whether or not the sequence would proceed with Dave season 4. In February 2024, FX Networks put out a press release that the present was being placed on pause as Burd took an prolonged break to concentrate on his music and different artistic alternatives.

We’re all going our personal means and doing our personal factor. It was an important run, and all of us loved it very a lot.

As arguably top-of-the-line sitcoms of the previous decade, it’s disappointing to know that Dave won’t be persevering with. Nonetheless, season 3 did finish on a largely satisfying be aware, with a finale that included a Brad Pitt cameo.

It’s higher for a present to finish on a powerful be aware and go away the viewers wanting greater than to needlessly stretch it out over too many seasons. With Burd, Santino, and different forged members centered on different tasks now, Dave season 4 won’t have been as compelling as its predecessors anyway.
