The Audacity Lands Early Renewal

AMC Networks has ordered a second season of Jonathan Glatzer’s upcoming Silicon Valley drama The Audacity over a month before its series premiere.

“From the start, The Audacity exists because Kristin Dolan, Dan McDermott and AMC Networks decided that ‘playing it safe’ is vastly overrated,” Glatzer said. “They’ve enabled me and our fearless cast to dive headfirst into the deep recesses of some beautifully flawed characters, all set against the backdrop of Silicon Valley, which only happens to have the power to shape how we work, argue, date, doomscroll, etc. And now, with this second season pick-up, AMC Networks has stood by their conviction with this wholly original satire. As The Audacity‘s creator, I could not be more grateful, but also as a fan of original and slightly dangerous stories, I am ecstatic.”

“Jonathan is one of the smartest, most talented, insightful and human showrunners we’ve ever worked with,” said Dan McDermott, chief content officer of AMC Networks and President of AMC Studios. “He has created a series that is smart, witty and nuanced, with dynamic characters, and something to say about our world, and this particular world that has such a huge impact on our culture, our economy and the very lives we are all living. Season one is fantastic, season two can’t come soon enough. Thank you to Jonathan, Gina and the incredible cast and crew of The Audacity, for bringing this story and these characters to life.”

The Audacity is set to premiere on April 12 on AMC and AMC+. It stars Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge and Ava Marie Telek. Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric) directs the first two episodes of the first season. Gina Mingacci (Killing Eve) is an executive producer.
