A no-script conversation, shot far from studio lights and driven by total creative freedom: this is The Pete Davidson Show, Netflix’s latest collaboration with Pete Davidson, a weekly video podcast that places authenticity at the centre of the format.
Netflix is expanding its commitment to conversational content with the launch of ‘The Pete Davidson Show‘, a weekly video podcast starring Pete Davidson, set to premiere on Friday, 30 January. Stepping away from polished studios and high-gloss production, the comedian opts for a radically intimate approach: the show is filmed primarily in his garage, a space Davidson himself describes as the place “where the best conversations happen.”
This new project marks Davidson’s fourth collaboration with Netflix, following his stand-up specials ‘Alive from New York’ (2020) and ‘Turbo Fonzarelli’ (2024), further cementing a creative relationship built on tonal freedom and honesty. According to Davidson, moving into podcasting felt natural: Netflix was home to one of his first comedy specials, and now becomes the platform for his most personal format yet.
The concept of ‘The Pete Davidson Show‘ deliberately distances itself from the traditional talk show. Each episode centres on open, unscripted conversations with close friends, fellow creators and regular collaborators, covering everything from personal experiences and pop culture to mental health and raw, unfiltered anecdotes. Some episodes will even leave the garage to be recorded on location, preserving the spontaneous energy that defines Davidson’s voice.
Behind the scenes, the project brings together key figures from his creative circle. The podcast is produced by Marc Lieberman (Above Average) and Ayala Cohen (Saturday Night Live), with Sarah Brennan Kolb directing. The team reinforces the idea of a format that is carefully crafted creatively, yet intentionally raw in both visuals and storytelling.
With The Pete Davidson Show, Netflix is not just adding another title to its catalogue — it is tapping into one of the most relevant content trends today: honest conversation as entertainment. By blending the intimacy of a friends-only hangout with the platform’s global reach, Davidson offers a direct, vulnerable and unfiltered look into his world. A project that confirms that, in the streaming era, authenticity can be the main attraction.
