AMC, which chronicled the early days of Silicon Valley in its sequence Halt and Catch Hearth, is headed again to that a part of the world.
The cable community (and sibling streamer AMC+) have ordered a sequence set in present-day Silicon Valley, centering on the falling out of a tech CEO and somebody in his orbit. Jonathan Glatzer, who has written episodes of Higher Name Saul and HBO’s Succession, created the as but untitled sequence and can function its showrunner. AMC Studios will produce.
“Jonathan is an enormous expertise and AMC is fortunate to be the house of this, his first sequence creation dropped at life,” stated Dan McDermott, president leisure for AMC Studios and AMC Networks. “The present, which chronicles the lives of characters creating the world we’ll all inhabit, is proper right here and proper now. Reality is stranger than fiction, particularly right here.”
The present’s logline reads, “The sequence is ready contained in the bubble of Silicon Valley, amid misguided company cultures, moony innovation labs and cutthroat personal excessive faculties. A scandal is sparked by the exploitation of non-public information which unravels out of a rift between a self-appointed ‘inventor of the longer term’ tech CEO and his self-serving ‘efficiency psychologist.’ This act of corruption rapidly spirals uncontrolled for all concerned, exposing the absurdities of ambition, company ethics, and the fallibility of the people who find themselves shaping the way forward for our world.”
“The tech world and the longer term it’s providing is within the fingers of some frighteningly self-involved folks. They radiate a weird, semi-deity-like power, however even they can’t escape their very own humanity,” stated Glatzer. “So slightly than do one thing immediately about ‘tech,’ I wished to deal with the folks. And never simply the titans, however the antsy wannabe titans, the youngsters and spouses of the wannabes; their housekeepers, their faculties, their psychiatrists, their canines and gurus alike, all of them residing on this bubble the place they honestly imagine — and maybe rightly — they’re inventing the longer term, canines excepted. I couldn’t be extra thrilled to be doing this with AMC. At a time when networks are searching for fastballs and strikes, I gave them a darkly comedic curveball, and to their super credit score, they’ve given me nothing however the best assist a author might ask for.”
