AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan expressed enthusiasm for the company's upcoming original series 'The Audacity' at the NATPE Global conference. Dolan said the show, created by Jonathan Glatzer, has multiple intertwined storylines that feel 'really relevant' and are also happening in the news, such as AI bots as psychological partners and teenagers struggling with social media. Dolan positioned 'The Audacity' as a key showcase title for AMC and said the network is 'super-stoked' about the series, which will air on AMC and stream on AMC+.
Why it matters
As a major cable network and streaming player, AMC Networks is focused on developing original scripted content that resonates with viewers. 'The Audacity' represents an important new series for the company, as it aims to balance producing content for its own platforms versus licensing content to third parties.
The details
Created by Jonathan Glatzer, whose credits include 'Succession' and 'Better Call Saul', 'The Audacity' is a drama with a healthy dose of comedy set in the world of contemporary Silicon Valley. The series, which stars Billy Magnussen, was shot over the summer of 2025 and features five intertwined storylines that Dolan said were also unfolding in the news at the same time, including topics like AI bots and teenagers' struggles on social media.
- The show was shot over the summer of 2025.
- Dolan read the first scripts for 'The Audacity' a year ago, in 2025.
