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 title 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 deal with his music and different inventive alternatives.

Whereas talking with Variety, Dave forged member Andrew Santino has now confirmed that the present just isn’t on pause and that it’s over for good. He explains that he and the opposite forged members are grateful for the expertise, however that discussions of the sequence being paused are “nonsense.” Take a look at his feedback under:

That’s not on pause. That factor is gone. I don’t even know why that narrative is on the market, that’s not true. We’re not doing the present. I believe folks mentioned it was on pause to guard the connection of the present, however that’s all nonsense. The present is completed. We’re all going our personal manner and doing our personal factor. It was an incredible run, and all of us loved it very a lot. It ran its stunning little course, and that was an exquisite second in time. I’m comfortable I used to be part of it, however in no world do I believe the present would ever come again.

What This Means For Dave

After greater than a yr of silence about Dave‘s future, it’s not too stunning that the present is over after season 3. FX Networks’ assertion concerning the present being on pause made it clear that the sequence was not returning within the close to future, and now Santino’s feedback make clear that it’ll not be returning in any respect.

Andrew Santino performed Dave’s roommate Mike.

Very similar to Apple TV+ being reluctant to say Ted Lasso ended with season 3, FX was possible reluctant to place an official finish to Dave. Ted Lasso season 4 is within the works at Apple TV+ proper now, though Dave is unlikely to get the identical sort of surprising resurgence.

With a 90% important rating and 86% viewers rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Dave was well-liked, but it surely by no means grew to become the sort of fashionable tradition phenomenon that Ted Lasso did. Most significantly, key members of Dave‘s forged have seemingly moved on and will not be desirous to return for a possible season 4.

Our Take On Dave Being Formally Over

As arguably one of many best sitcoms of the previous decade, it’s disappointing to know that Dave won’t be persevering with. Nevertheless, season 3 did finish on a largely satisfying observe, with a finale that included a Brad Pitt cameo.

It’s higher for a present to finish on a robust observe and depart 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.
