‘Dave’ Paused at FX Networks as Lil Dicky Pursues Other Projects Instead of Season 4
“Dave” is going on hiatus, as its co-creator and star Dave Burd, aka Lil Dicky, eyes other projects.
FX Networks has not officially renewed the comedy series for Season 4. The third season aired from April-May in 2023.
“After some back and forth, there are no current plans for a fourth season of ‘Dave’ right now, as Dave Burd has decided to take an extended break to focus on music and other ventures,” FX said in a statement. “That does not rule out the possibility of doing something in the future. We love the show and sincerely appreciate the creative excellence Dave, Jeff Schaffer, the cast and crew delivered with every episode. We are excited that our partnership with Dave will continue as he develops future projects for us through his overall production deal with FXP.”
Created alongside “Curb Your Enthusiasm” EP and director Jeff Schaffer in March 2020, “Dave” stars Burd as a fictionalized version of himself as he balances his personal relationships with his hip-hop dreams, and becomes the comedy-rap icon Lil Dicky.
“Making ‘Dave’ has been and continues to be a dream come true. But there are other creative ventures that I am dying to pursue as well,” Burd said. “For the past 5 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.”
This would not be the first time an FX show has taken an extended time off before returning should “Dave” be back for a fourth season. For example, the network’s critically-acclaimed show “Atlanta” took nearly two years to return between its first and second seasons, while Season 3 did not air until four years after the second.
The FXX and Hulu series also stars Lil Dicky’s real-life hype man GaTa as himself, as well as Andrew Santino, Christine Ko, Travis “Taco” Bennett and Taylor Misiak. The show, which wrapped its third season in May, also features a rotation of A-list guest stars including Drake, Kendall Jenner, Kevin Hart, Jack Harlow, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Justin Bieber.
After its Season 1 debut in March 2020, “Dave” became FX Networks’ most-watched comedy series, with an average episodic audience of 5.32 million. Season 2 premiered in June 2021.
Season 3 of “Dave” featured a romance storyline with Rachel McAdams, playing herself in a recurring role, and a wild season finale in which Lil Dicky and Brad Pitt are held hostage by an unhinged fan. Earlier this month, Lil Dicky released “Penith,” his second studio album that also served as the “Dave” soundtrack.
“I realized this year, as I took a step back and looked at all the different music that’s made it into the first three seasons of the show, there’s enough here, a great body of work and a project that I can put out as a soundtrack,” Burd told Variety about “Penith.” “I think this is such a better representation of Lil Dicky the musical artist than, honestly, my first album even was. People are always like, ‘when can I get that song?’ I think this will be a cool thing for fans who have watched the show. And for people who have never even seen the show, I think they’ll enjoy listening to this as like a body of music.”

A minor, 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck in Nevada on Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake prompted a flurry of chatter online, but no widespread damage was reported.
The temblor happened at 1:47 p.m. Pacific time about 7 miles northwest of Summerlin South, Nev., data from the agency shows.
On social media, residents across the area described the earthquake jolting their homes and rattling windows and doors. Some said they heard the boom-like sound of an explosion, while others said they didn’t feel anything or described a small disturbance that lacked any significant oomph.
Brian Cohen was at home putting away groceries in Lone Mountain, about a half hour west of the Las Vegas strip, just before 2 p.m. when he felt the entire house rattle intensely for about three seconds.
“The whole house felt like it was lifting up,” said Mr. Cohen, who is in his 60s. He went outside and saw a neighbor, who also reported feeling the jolt.
Mr. Cohen, who has lived in the Las Vegas area since 1994, said this wasn’t his first earthquake. “This one is the strongest one I felt,” he said, adding there was no damage to his home.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
Aftershocks forecast
While individual earthquakes can’t be predicted, geologists can calculate the chances that more earthquakes will follow an initial quake using statistical models of past events.
For this earthquake, it is unlikely — about a 4 chance — that a larger quake will strike the area in the next day, according to the U.S.G.S. Here is the forecast for aftershocks of other sizes:
3.0 mag. or stronger
Perhaps
26%
—
4.0 mag. or stronger
Unlikely
5%
—
5.0 mag. or stronger
Unlikely

The rate of aftershocks typically decreases over time, and forecasts are available for the next week, month and year.
Subsequent quakes have been reported in the same area. Such temblors are typically aftershocks caused by minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.

Two days after another ceasefire was announced between Israel and U.S. terrorist designated group Hezbollah, Yulia Bar-Dan was standing outside her temporary home in Kibbutz Manara in northern Israel when the familiar sound of an interceptor echoed overhead.
“There will probably be another siren soon,” she told Fox News Digital.
Minutes later, an alert appeared on her phone warning residents in northern Israel to take shelter.
For Bar-Dan, the scene captured the reality of life on Israel’s northern border nearly two years after Hezbollah joined the war against Israel on Oct. 8, 2023.
After Hezbollah entered the recent war in support of Iran, Washington launched a diplomatic effort aimed at turning the ceasefire into a broader arrangement for Lebanon.
ISRAEL OPENS FIRE IN LEBANON AT ‘SUSPECTS’ ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING TRUCE, WHICH HAS ENTERED ITS SECOND DAY
Multiple rounds of talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials have taken place in Washington, and President Donald Trump has repeatedly announced ceasefire understandings aimed at restoring calm along the border. Residents of communities like Manara, Israel, say the rockets, drones and uncertainty never really stopped.

“A ceasefire is supposed to be on both sides,” she said. “Not that Hezbollah keeps shooting at us and we just keep absorbing it.”
When Fox News Digital first spoke to Bar-Dan in December 2024 during the war, she and her husband had fled Manara, Israel, with their three children and were living out of a single hotel room, unsure whether they would ever return home.
Today, roughly 200 of the kibbutz’s 280 residents have returned, Bar-Dan said. But many, including Bar-Dan’s family, still cannot live in their original homes because of war damage.

Despite repeated ceasefire announcements, residents say normal life remains elusive.
“There hasn’t really been a routine or a quiet day since February,” she said.
Schools officially reopened in early June, but Bar-Dan decided not to send her children.
“They take the bus to school,” she said. “What if there’s a siren on the way? I can’t take that chance.”

Her frustration is not directed at Hezbollah alone.
Like many residents interviewed by Fox News Digital, Bar-Dan says there is a growing disconnect between the reality experienced on the border and the reality described by politicians.
“It doesn’t really matter where the decisions are being made,” she said. “The decisions just need to match reality. Right now there is a decision, but the reality is completely different.”
A year and a half after most of Manara’s residents were evacuated amid fears of a Hezbollah invasion, community leader Yochai Wolfin says residents have developed their own name for the current situation.
“We call it ‘the ceasefire war,’” he said.
The phrase has become common in the community.
First came a year and a half of evacuation. Then came the return home. Then came what Wolfin describes as three months of “fire within a ceasefire.”
The uncertainty has become part of daily life.
Children study inside shelters. Parts of the kibbutz still lack protected rooms. Construction projects remain unfinished because contractors are reluctant to work so close to the border.
He said many residents increasingly feel that the decisions determining their future are being made far from the communities that bear the consequences.

“Who knows what tomorrow will bring?” Wolfin said. “We know who is calling the shots. We saw it a few days ago when Trump announced another ceasefire. But for us, the reality on the ground hasn’t changed.”
The comments come as Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem warned Thursday that northern Israel would remain unsafe as long as Israeli strikes continue in Lebanon, according to Reuters.
In a written statement broadcast on June 4, 2026, Qassem condemned the Washington-mediated framework as “absurd, humiliating, and insulting,” calling it a roadmap for surrender.
For residents of Israel’s northern border communities, the statements reinforced what many say they have been experiencing for months: a ceasefire that exists on paper but not in daily life.
Naor Shamia, who heads Manara’s emergency response team, says residents increasingly worry that temporary emergency measures are becoming permanent.
“The fear isn’t today,” he said. “The fear is that this becomes years. We are in a deadlock.”
Across the border region, similar concerns are heard.

In the community of Adamit, resident Yael Cohen-Arazi described the contrast between the beauty surrounding her and the reality of living under constant threat.
“Every morning I wake up and think I’m living in paradise,” she said in footage provided to Fox News Digital by the Israeli news agency TPS-IL. “Then there are the explosions that shake my soul.”
Her children, she said, have spent so much of their lives under fire that they no longer know what normal looks like.
“I tell them there are children who don’t live like this,” she said.
Back in Manara, Israel, another alert interrupted the afternoon.
Bar-Dan says she is not angry anymore. Mostly, she is tired and sad.
“I feel bad for the soldiers,” she said. “Every day there is another casualty, and there is still no solution.”
Yet she insists she is staying.

“This is our home,” she said. “Someone has to live on the borders of this country.”
Then another explosion sounded in the distance.
