Vincent Pastore's last television performance is on screen. Deadline published an exclusive first look at the Season 3 trailer for the independently produced series Gravesend on 7 August 2026, giving audiences their first glimpse of Pastore in the role of Donnie Glisto — his final credited television part.

Pastore died on 1 August at his home in the Bronx, New York, at age 80. The cause is believed to be natural. His death came less than a week before the trailer's release.

Gravesend is created, written, and directed by William DeMeo, who also stars in the series. The show is independently produced and streams on Prime Video. Michele Frantzeskos serves as a producer. The Brooklyn Paper had reported on 3 August that the Season 3 trailer was expected during that week. Brooklyn Paper

Season 3 brings a wave of familiar names into the cast. Tony Danza, Talia Shire, Dominic Chianese, and Vincent Curatola all join for the new season. Shaquille O'Neal also comes aboard as both a new cast member and an executive producer, and appears in the trailer.

Returning series regulars include DeMeo himself, along with Chazz Palminteri, Armand Assante, Pastore, Mario Cantone, Tony Darrow, and Chuck Zito.

The cast list reads like a roll call of New York Italian-American screen veterans. Pastore, Chianese, and Curatola all appeared on The Sopranos; Danza starred in Taxi and Who's the Boss?; Shire earned Academy Award nominations for The Godfather Part II and Rocky. For a series streaming independently on Prime Video — meaning it is produced outside the major studio system and licensed to the platform — the assembled cast carries weight.

Pastore's role as Donnie Glisto now stands as his farewell to television. The trailer offers a first look at that performance ahead of Gravesend's fall premiere, a scheduling window that typically runs from September through November. No exact premiere date has been confirmed.
