Star-Filled AMC TV Show Gets Renewed for Season 2
-------------------------------------------------
AMC Networks has officially announced the Season 2 renewal of one
of its newest drama shows, led by Emmy winner Zach Galifianakis
(Baskets) and Billy Magnussen (Made for Love). This comes ahead
of The Audacity's upcoming eight-episode series debut on Sunday,
April 12 at 9 pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.

"Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, the show 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 strives to turn insight and influence
into profit and power. The darkly comedic drama confronts reality,
privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world," reads
the official synopsis.

What did AMC say about The Audacity's Season 2 renewal?
"Jonathan is one of the smartest, most talented, insightful, and
human showrunners we've ever worked with," AMC Networks and AMC
Studios boss Dan McDermott said in a statement. "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 drama is created, executive-produced, and written by showrunner
Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Better Call Saul). The ensemble cast
includes Magnussen as Duncan Park, Galifianakis as Carl Bardolph,
Sarah Goldberg as Dr. JoAnne Felder, Lucy Punch as Lili
Park-Hoffsteader, Simon Helberg as Martin Phister, Rob Corddry as
Tom Ruffage, Meaghan Rath as Anushka Bhattachera-Phister, Paul
Adelstein as Dr. Gary Felder, Everett Blunck as Orson Stern, Thailey
Roberge as Tess Phister, Ava Marie Telekas Jamison Park-Hoffsteader,
with Randall Park guest-starring as Gabe, the qualm-free CFO of a
data mining operation.

It is executive-produced by Gina Mingacci, with Lucy Forbes, Dan
Sackheim, Dan Longino, and Alex Buono serving as directors. It hails
from AMC Studios Production. Before its April debut, the series will
first have its world premiere at the upcoming SXSW Film & TV festival
on March 14.

Glatzer added, "From the start, The Audacity exists because Kristin
Dolan, Dan McDermott, and AMC Networks decided that 'playing it safe'
is vastly overrated. 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."
