AMC Announces Premiere Date for New Drama 'The Audacity' Starring Billy Magnussen

AMC has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Audacity starring Billy Magnussen.







The eight-episode first season will debut on Sunday, April 12 at 9/8c.

Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, the drama 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 (Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. The darkly comedic series confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.

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

Jonathan Glatzer created the drama. He executive produces with Gina Mingacci. Lucy Forbes directs the first two episodes, with Dan Sackheim, Dan Longino and Alex Buono helming additional episodes in the first season. AMC Studios produces.
