FXX's critically acclaimed hit comedy series Dave has been renewed for a second season, which will bow in 2021. The recently concluded first season of Dave is FX Networks' most-watched comedy series ever with an average episodic audience of 5.32 million Total Viewers to-date across linear, VOD and streaming, and that number is growing. The total audience for DAVE tops the previous FX record holder Atlanta, which averaged 5.2 million Total Viewers on all platforms in its first season. The complete 10-episode first season is available for streaming FX on Hulu.
Based on the life of rapper and comedian Dave Burd, a.k.a Lil Dicky, FXX's Dave is centered on a neurotic man in his late twenties who has convinced himself that he's destined to be one of the best rappers of all time. Now he must convince his closest friends, because with their help, he actually might convince the world. The series stars Dave Burd ("Dave"), Taylor Misiak ("Ally"), Andrew Santino ("Mike"), GaTa ("GaTa"), Travis Bennett ("Elz") and Christine Ko ("Emma"). The first season has also featured notable guest stars including Justin Bieber, Young Thug, Trippie Redd and Kourtney Kardashian.
