The Audacity teaser promises sharp Silicon Valley satire

Film and TV fans know that tech bros are ripe for satire. Look at the entire cast of Silicon Valley and Mountainhead, or Glass Onion‘s Elon Musk-esque Miles Bron. Now, AMC upcoming drama series The Audacity looks to add more fuel to the fire.

Created by Jonathan Glatzer, a writer and producer on Succession and Better Call Saul, The Audacity invites viewers into the Silicon Valley bubble. There, data-mining CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen) strives for power and profit.

AMC released a new teaser for The Audacity that offers a deeper look into Duncan’s mind, all of which can basically be summed up with one word: ego.

Look no further than Duncan referring to himself as “the man,” or stating, “Genius is about being unhinged enough to do something outrageous.”

Outrageousness certainly follows that statement, as The Audacity teaser shows its cast throwing each other over tables, pointing guns at each other, and offering up some choice one-liners that would be right at home in Succession or Veep. (“I thought you were a unicorn. You’re just a jackass with a dildo taped to his head,” Zach Galifianakis’ character Carl declares.)

All this chaos leads up to one invitation from Duncan: “Let’s find out how weird I am.”

Let’s, indeed.

In addition to Magnussen and Galifianakis, The Audacity also stars Sarah Goldberg, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, Ava Marie Telek, and Randall Park.

The Audacity premieres April 12 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+.
