Dave, the semi-autobiographical show about rapper and comedian Dave Burd, will return for season two. 

The series, which recently concluded its first season is officially the network’s highest-ranking comedy series ever after dethroning Atlanta, bumping it from the number one spot.

Dave is co-created by Dave Burd and Jeff Schaffer. The duo also exec produced alongside Saladin Patterson, Kevin Hart, Scooter Braun, Greg Mottola, Marty Bowen, James Shin, Scott Manson, and Mike Hertz.

“We set out to make something special and it’s so gratifying to see the response this show has gotten,” said Burd. “This was my first rodeo, so I’m super excited to take another crack at it now that I’ve got some experience making television. It really feels like the sky is the limit with this show. I look forward to raising the bar even higher next year.”

Added Schaffer, “I am just so glad FX was crazy enough to give Dave Burd a TV show, and smart enough to make it better every step of the way. I’m really looking forward to another season — there are still parts of Dave’s anatomy we haven’t subjected America to.”

The first installment of the untitled project from The Office alum is heading to FX. Novak will write, direct and executive produce the series. 

“Thrilled, excited, humbled — these are the words in every press release, and I can’t believe how much I actually mean them,” Novak said in a statement. “This is my dream show, and FX is the dream place to make it. When I brought it to FX, I wondered if it went too far, and they told me, you can go further. I can’t wait to get started.”

The untitled series has already started filming, and each episode will feature a different cast. 

“We have been admirers of BJ Novak for a long time,” said Nick Grad of FX. “We loved his creative twist on the anthology format, and he delivered on two phenomenal episodes. We are looking forward to going into production on the rest of the season and supporting BJ’s ambitious vision for this project.”
