After a long hiatus, FX is finally bringingDaveback to Season 3. During today’s Television Critics Association presentation, the network announced that the new batch of episodes from the award-winning series are coming sooner rather than later, with the first two premiering in the very first week of April. In the beginning of the series, creator and starDave Burd(also known as real-life rapper and comedianLil Dicky) set out to convince himself – and the world — that he could be one of the best rappers ever. In the new season, Dave is now headlining a tour, which means he’ll start seeing the world in a whole different way.
And that’s not an exaggeration: Aside from the comedy,Davewill also use its trademark blunt approach to fame (now on a bigger scale), and the new episodes will see the protagonist discover how becoming famous puts a pressure on his relationships, especially when it comes to love life and friendships. Who really loves you, and who just wants to be seen with you? The new episodes will also look pretty different, as Dave learns firsthand how diverse the cultural landscape of the United States really is.
Stars All Around, One More Time
As fans know, another thing that we can look forward to in the new season is lots of cameos from people you never saw coming. In the previous episodes, stars likeLil Nas X,Justin Bieber,Kevin Hart,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,Doja Cat,Kourtney Kardashian,J Balvin,Young Thug,Marshmello, and many, many others were featured in the story. Now that Dave is on the road, we’re bound to see some more unexpected famous cameos.

In 2021,Davehimself teased Season 3 toDeadlineand said he was “creating the funniest season that anyone’s ever made of television.” He also said he’d love to haveKanye Westin the show, but a lot has changed since then… We’ll have to wait a little to find out how all of that played out.

He gained international fame with his hit single “Freaky Friday”, which also showcased some of his comedic timing and paid a bit of homage to the 2003Lindsay Lohan-Jamie Lee Curtisbody-swapping comedy.
