AMC Renews Silicon Valley Satire 'The Audacity' for Season 2 Ahead of Premiere

The move signals AMC's renewed push into prestige drama.

Overview

  • AMC confirmed the Season 2 pickup before any episodes have aired, days ahead of the show's SXSW world premiere on March 14 and a month before its April 12 debut on AMC and AMC+.
  • Season 2 will run eight episodes, matching Season 1, with preliminary casting already underway.
  • Created by Jonathan Glatzer, whose credits include Better Call Saul and Succession, the series follows a data‑mining CEO in a darkly comic take on privacy, AI, and Silicon Valley ethics.
  • The principal cast includes Billy Magnussen, Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Goldberg, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, and Rob Corddry.
  • SXSW will host a two‑episode world premiere followed by a panel with Glatzer, executive producer Gina Mingacci, director Lucy Forbes, and cast members, moderated by journalist Kara Swisher; Forbes directed the first two episodes.
