AMC’s new Silicon Valley drama series The Audacity from Jonathan Glatzer starts shooting in Vancouver.
Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity 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 (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. A darkly comedic drama that confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fueling our ever-changing reality.
