AMC has handed a season 2 to new Silicon Valley drama The Audacity before season 1 airs in April

The first season stars Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg and Rob Corddry premieres April 12 on AMC and AMC+.

What is The Audacity about

From the renewal press release:

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 optimised in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fuelling our ever-changing world.

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.

Both seasons are eight episodes. Season 1 drops all episodes on Sunday April 12. Enjoy the trailer!
