Dave Season 4: Will It Happen? Everything We Know (2024)

There has been some Dave season 4 news despite the show not yet receiving a renewal for a new season. Dave is a fictional re-telling of the rise to fame of rapper Lil Dicky, showing how Dave Burd went from being a neurotic man in his 20s to fighting to become one of the best rappers in history. Of course, it is also a comedy and finished its third season in May 2023 with a major surprise cameo from none other than Brad Pitt in one of his rare television roles.

While ratings were down in Dave season 3, which came two years after season 2 aired, co-creators Dave Burd and Jeff Schaffer have plans for Dave season 4 — as long as FXX gives it a renewal. If it happens, Dave season 4 can be expected to include more ridiculous comedy, huge celebrity cameos, and further surprises for fans. There still looks to be a lot of stories to tell for Lil Dicky, especially after the explosive Dave season 3 finale.

The Latest Dave Season 4 News

FXX Puts The Series On Pause

A year after its hilarious season 3 finale, the latest news is a disappointing update regarding Dave season 4 that doesn't bode well for the show's future. According to an official statement from FX, Dave is being put on pause as its star pursues other projects. While the pause is not a good sign, it is not quite an outright cancelation and does leave the door open for more seasons in the future. FX is likely to cover all of their options so that they never rule out the return of their hit series if Dave Burd finds time to work on it.

Dave Season 4 Is Not Confirmed

FXX Has Not Renewed The Show Yet

Dave season 4 has not been confirmed yet. Though there was a good chance the show would return, it's recently announced pause doesn't bode well. FX hasn't canceled the series outright, but there is no guarantee that it will return in the future either.

Which Stars Will Return?

There is no word on who could appear in Dave season 4, but there is no Dave without Dave Burd returning to portray the fictional version of himself. GaTa will also likely be back, as he not only plays a fictional version of himself, but has been crucial to the story thus far. Dave features a small roster of recurring characters who could all return, but the most exciting prospect for season 4 is the possibility of more huge celebrity cameos. Brad Pitt's season 3 cameo opens the door for other A-listers to drop in on Lil Dicky.

Dave Season 4 Story Details

What Could Happen In Season 4?

There is no word on a Dave season 4 story, but Dave Burd said he has plans for a new season and narrative direction for his fictionalized self in mind. In an interview (via The Wrap), Burd said, "I got ton ideas, just to show that I’m more mature and stuff like that and just growing up as a person as a man." This suggests that Dave season 4 could see the character grow from his silly and neurotic self, into a more self-actualized person. This allows the usually comedic series to sober up a bit and find a more mature edge.
