Pete Davidson is enjoying quite a moment. After the funnyman recently announced his departure from SNL, it's become clear that he is redirecting his creative energy to the big screen. Davidson proved his acting chops in The King of Staten Island in 2020, appeared as Blackguard inThe Suicide Squad, and now has the acclaimed slasher movie Bodies Bodies Bodies set for release on August 5, 2022.

Here's where to watch Pete Davidson's The King Of Staten Island online, including whether it's on Netflix, Hulu or Prime. Judd Apatow's early career included a stint as a stand-up comic - where he first met Adam Sandler - and writing on movies such as Celtic Pride or series like The Ben Stiller Show. His work on cult shows like Freaks And Geeks and creating Undeclared also saw him gather a fanbase, but his movie breakthrough came with 2005 comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin. This Steve Carell comedy - which has an incredible ing cast that includes Paul Rudd, Jane Lynch and Seth Rogen - was an unexpected smash and led to a run of hit Apatow directed and produced comedies.

Throughout the 2000s, Judd Apatow pioneered his own particular brand of film comedy that changed the genre forever. Apatow’s comedies have a hard-R sensibility, but they’re also surprisingly sweet, subversively mixing raunchy laughs with genuine feels. Apatow established this style with his first movie: the high-concept tale of a middle-aged virgin trying to get laid. Audiences expected the laughter; they didn’t expect to be moved by the love story.

The comedy director has a number of classics under his belt, and here's every Judd Apatow movie ranked worst to best. After The King of Staten Island, Apatow waited a few years before stepping back into the limelight to create the 2022 film The Bubble for Netflix. It's clear that the director's time in COVID lockdown gave him plenty of new ideas, as this forms the premise behind his latest film. As of now, there are only seven feature films in his repertoire, but it's an illustrious career considering that Judd Apatow is a household name off the back of his comedies.

Life has been chaotic for The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian during her turbulent divorce from Kanye West but peace seems to be on the horizon after Kim was declared legally single in early March 2022. Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after several months of separation, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The pair initially amicably co-parented their four children, North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2. Kim submitted a request to be declared legally single in December 2021 after conflicts escalated between her and the “Donda” rapper. The court hearing determining Kim's request took place on March 2, resulting in the former Keeping Up With The Kardashians star gaining legally single status.

Marisa Tomei claims that she recently realized that she was never paid for the Judd Apatow-directed comedy The King of Staten Island.

She has been nominated for three Oscars for The Wrestler, In the Bedroom, and My Cousin Vinny (for which she won Best Actress), and has most recently been seen as Aunt May in the box office juggernaut Spider-Man: No Way Home.

HBO Max is welcoming 2021 by releasing a handful of movies and TV shows across the month of January. Aside from adding a slew of notable titles to the ever-growing catalog, the streamer is gearing up for several movies, Max Originals, and another Warner Bros. studio debut. With subscriptions skyrocketing due to the WB's streaming partnership with HBO Max, new and existing subscribers will have a slew of programming to keep them busy throughout the first month of the new year.

Judd Apatow's latest comedy, The King Of Staten Island, explores the arrested development of Scott (Pete Davidson) in the wake of his firefighter father’s death. His already tumultuous life is further turned upside down when his mother Margie (Maria Tomei) starts growing closer to another firefighter.

Judd Apatow returns to filmmaking with his latest, The King of Staten Island. Starring, and co-written, by Pete Davidson the film is a semi-biographical adaptation of Davidson's life; he plays Scott and 20-something man, still living at home and still adjusting to the death of his father. It's the type of material that Apatow excels at. His characters (while also falling into ridiculous or embarrassing situations) often find themselves trying to joke their way through tragic or uncomfortable circumstances.
