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 optimized in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. A darkly comedic drama that confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.
“The Audacity is one of the most exciting, timely, and relevant projects I’ve ever been associated with,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Jonathan Glatzer is a massive talent who has proven himself and his ability to authentically connect with an audience – through drama, wit and wisdom – again and again. This series will be must-watch, can’t miss storytelling brought to life by a stellar cast, we can’t wait to share it with viewers next year.”
The eight-episode drama comes from executive producer, writer, and showrunner Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Bad Sisters, Better Call Saul) and executive producer Gina Mingacci (Killing Eve). Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric) will direct the pilot and second episode.
