Pivoting on Kalanick (Gordon-Levitt) and his sometimes tumultuous relationship with his mentor Gurley (Chandler), the SHOWTIME series will depict the roller-coaster ride of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley. Even amid the radical upheaval generated within the global tech capital, Uber stands out as both a marvel and a cautionary tale, featuring internal and external battles that ripple with unpredictable consequences. SUPER PUMPED is the first installment of an anthology series in which each season explores a story that rocked the business world to its core and changed culture. The series also stars Elisabeth Shue (<em>Leaving Las Vegas<\/em>), Kerry Bish\u00e9 (<em>Halt and Catch Fire<\/em>, PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS), Jon Bass (<em>Miracle Workers<\/em>), Bridget Gao Hollitt (<em>Home and Away<\/em>), and Babak Tafti (<em>Succession<\/em>). In addition to Koppelman, Levien, and Schacter, Paul Schiff, Stephen Schiff, and Allyce Ozarski will also executive produce. Isaac will co-executive produce the project.
