At CES 2026, AMC debuted clips from its upcoming TV series \u201cThe Audacity,\u201d created by Jonathan Glatzer, a TV writer and producer for shows like \u201cSuccession,\u201d \u201cBetter Call Saul,\u201d and \u201cBloodline.\u201d The new show will focus on how the men and women of Silicon Valley are shaping the world we live in today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re literally laying the cement on the freeway that we\u2019re all driving down with things like AI, data collection, social media, etc. And there couldn\u2019t be any more important group, in my opinion, to be taking a deep-dive look at than the men and women in Silicon Valley who are shaping the lives that we live,\u201d explained Dan McDermott, chief content officer at AMC Networks and president of AMC Studios, speaking at the Variety Entertainment Summit at CES.<\/p>\n
As one of the show\u2019s actors, Billy Magnussen, noted, \u201cSilicon Valley is one of those times in our modern era which is defining humanity. And what better place to make a dark comedy than in that place that develops our society at this point?\u201d<\/p>\n
The show will also star Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Simon Helberg, and Rob Corddry and will take place in a fictional universe where no real company names are involved, nor will high-profile tech figures make cameos. However, the show may still hit some familiar chords. For instance, Helberg\u2019s character is a maladjusted genius, working on an AI therapy app for teenagers, when he himself is something of a recluse, with a teenage daughter he neglects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s loneliness, I think, at the heart of all the characters, and they\u2019re all trying to connect, and they\u2019re trying to connect through technology, which has some pitfalls,\u201d Helberg says.<\/p>\n
Two new clips from the shows were streamed at the event, but recording was not allowed. In one, an enthusiastic Magnussen pitches Galifianakis when encountering him eating at a restaurant. Galifianakis never responds but cuts him off eventually by stabbing him in the hand with his fork. Another clip showed\u00a0Helberg completely missing an opportunity to relate to his daughter, and instead using her facial expression of annoyance to train his AI.<\/p>\n
The show premieres Sunday, April 12 on AMC and AMC+.\u00a0<\/p>\n
