Missing Succession? Wanting to dive back into a world of out-of-touch millionaires and billionaires who are focused only on themselves and making as much money as possible? Don’t worry, AMC and AMC+ has you covered–only this time, it takes place within the Silicon Valley.
“They’re horrible people who have no boundaries,” states the trailer, and from this first look, that appears to be very much true. After all, there are no ethical millionaires, and especially no ethical billionaires.
In this first look, big tech meets even bigger egos in The Audacity, the highly anticipated Silicon Valley drama from Emmy Award-winner Jonathan Glatzer, who has worked on such shows as Succession, Bad Sisters, and Better Call Saul. The eight-episode series premieres on Sunday, April 12 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+, with additional episodes debuting weekly on Sundays.
About ‘The Audacity’
Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity takes on the warped dreams, outsized egos, and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world of jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs, and disillusioned teens being optimized in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Sarah Goldberg stars as Dr. JoAnne Felder, a poorly compensated therapist to the tech titans of Silicon Valley, while Zach Galifianakis portrays Carl Bardolph, a former idealist pioneer of Silicon Valley who made his fortune off spam. The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.
The cast also includes Lucy Punch as Lili Park-Hoffsteader, Simon Helberg as Martin Phister, Rob Corddry as Tom Ruffage, Meaghan Rath as Anushka Bhattachera-Phister, Paul Adelstein as Dr. Gary Felder, Everett Blunck as Orson Stern, Thailey Roberge as Tess Phister, Ava Marie Telek as Jamison Park-Hoffsteader, with Randall Park guest starring as Gabe, the qualm-free CFO of a data mining operation.
