AMC is returning to form with a new wild series set among the overblown egos of Silicon Valley. 'The Audacity' follows the tech titans who are all about to fall, or fear doing so, leading to a desperate scramble. The series features a remarkable cast including Billy Magnusson, Sarah Goldberg, Rob Corddry, Simon Helberg, Zach Galifianakis, and Randall Park.

Why it matters

After years of zombie and crime dramas, 'The Audacity' marks a return to AMC's roots of character-driven, darkly comedic explorations of modern American power structures, similar to past hits like 'Halt and Catch Fire'. The series promises to provide a biting satire of Silicon Valley's culture of excess and ego.

The details

In the premiere episode, a tech titan played by Billy Magnusson confesses to his therapist, played by Sarah Goldberg, and then tries to pry personal information out of her. The series was created by Jonathan Glatzer, who previously wrote for 'Succession' and 'Better Call Saul'.
