Dave Burd & GaTa Interview: Landing Brad Pitt for Dave Season 3 Finale & Future of Series

Описание: [Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Dave Season 3]

Before the Dave Season 3 finale dropped on Hulu, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with co-creator, co-writer, producer, and star Dave Burd, and in-series Dave’s hype man and real-life rapper, GaTa about the final episode and those insane cameos. Both have been with the FX show, co-created with Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm), since Episode 1, and their dynamic is unshakeable (due in large part to GaTa’s unconditional support), providing the comedy series with laugh-out-loud hysterics and moments of surprising gravity. As Season 3 comes to a close, we find out how names like Academy Award-winner Brad Pitt, Drake, and so many others, fit into “Lil Dicky’s” rise to stardom.

Since the first season, Dave has followed the titular rapper’s trajectory to fame, from LD’s YouTube breakout to Season 3’s Looking for Love tour. The show naturally makes creative, episodic choices while telling a story fairly parallel to the real Burd’s success story, and is packed with celebrity cameos that stun season after season in a very meta, “Dave just got rejeted by Doja Cat” kind of way. Season 3 took us across the country, from his hometown origins to the Met Gala, and all the bumps in the road in between, and culminated in a star-studded spectacular, that leaves us wondering where we’re going to go next with Dave, GaTa, Mike (Andrew Santino), Elz (Travis Bennett), Emma (Christine Ko), and Ally (Taylor Misiak).

In their interview, which you can watch or read below, Burd addresses Dave’s confounding Robyn (Chloe Bennet) choice, writing music for the series, and the ever-present themes that drive Dave’s hunger for success. They talk about GaTa’s audition for the part written specifically for him, and GaTa explains that they have a “real great friendship, like real dynamic energies, always vibing,” and that’s why their onscreen chemistry is totally unique to this show, adding that “everything is real.” As far as that epic Season 3 finale, Burd reveals how he got “iconic pillars of entertainment” to guest star on the show, and why each of them represent so much more than a flashy cameo, and where that will take us into Season 4.
