We love the show and sincerely appreciate the creative excellence Dave, Jeff Schaffer, the cast and crew delivered with every episode.

Lil Dicky Makes His Own Statement
Lil Dicky, real name Dave Burd, offered his own statement as well to clarify that he was merely pursuing other creative endeavors that appealed to him.
“Making Dave has been and continues to be a dream come true,” Dicky wrote. “But there are other creative ventures that I am dying to pursue as well. For the past five years, I’ve poured every fiber of my being into the show, and after three amazing seasons, this feels like a good time to press pause to give myself the bandwidth to do some of the other things I have always wanted to do. I am beyond excited about what I have planned for the future and am enormously appreciative of FX for their continued partnership.”
Dave’s third season gained a lot of attention for its bevy of impressive guest stars, which included Drake and Brad Pitt. Lil Dicky dropped off his Penith project on Jan. 19, which served as the official Dave soundtrack.
