“Turbo Fonzarelli” was directed by Jason Orley and Davidson executive produces with Alex Panagos for King For A Night; Ally Engelberg & Marc Lieberman are EPs for Above Average, which is the production company behind the special.

According to Netflix, the special “delivers on what it means to grow up and turn 30, discussing love, life, and living in the woods.”

Davidson plays a fictionalized version of himself in “Bupkis,” which has been renewed for a second season. He was a part of “Saturday Night Live” from 2014 to 2022, having departed the sketch comedy last year. In film, his credits include “The King of Staten Island,” “The Suicide Squad,” “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” “Dumb Money” and “Good Burger 2.”

Davidson guest hosted “Saturday Night Live” earlier this fall. He’s also the star of the upcoming horror film “The Home.” Lionsgate recently landed U.S. rights to “The Home,” directed by James DeMonaco (“The Purge”). “The Home” follows Davidson as Max, a former foster child who begins working at a retirement home, only to discover that its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets.
