"They're literally laying the cement on the freeway that we're all driving down with things like AI, data collection, social media, etc. And there couldn't be any more important group, in my opinion, to be taking a deep-dive look at than the men and women in Silicon Valley who are shaping the lives that we live,"
"Silicon Valley is one of those times in our modern era which is defining humanity. And what better place to make a dark comedy than in that place that develops our society at this point?"
"There's loneliness, I think, at the heart of all the characters, and they're all trying to connect, and they're trying to connect through technology, which has some pitfalls,"
AMC premiered clips from The Audacity at CES 2026. Jonathan Glatzer created the series to examine how Silicon Valley influences contemporary life through AI, data collection, and social media. The ensemble cast includes Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Simon Helberg, and Rob Corddry. The story unfolds in a fictional universe without real company names or tech-founder cameos. Characters wrestle with loneliness and attempt connection via technology, revealing emotional pitfalls. Simon Helberg portrays a maladjusted genius building an AI therapy app for teenagers while neglecting his own teenage daughter. Two clips were screened, including a violent pitch scene.
