AMC’s The Audacity has been picked up for a second season ahead of its series debut. South By Southwest (SXSW) is hosting the world premiere of the Silicon Valley-set drama on March 14, 2026, followed by its premiere on AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, April 12, 2026.
“From the start, The Audacity exists because Kristin Dolan, Dan McDermott, and AMC Networks decided that ‘playing it safe’ is vastly overrated,” commented series creator, writer, and executive producer Jonathan Glatzer. “They’ve enabled me and our fearless cast to dive headfirst into the deep recesses of some beautifully flawed characters, all set against the backdrop of Silicon Valley, which only happens to have the power to shape how we work, argue, date, doomscroll, etc. And now, with this second-season pickup, AMC Networks has stood by their conviction with this wholly original satire. As The Audacity‘s creator, I could not be more grateful, but also as a fan of original and slightly dangerous stories, I am ecstatic.”
Season one stars Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, and Rob Corddry. Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek also star.
“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 (Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.”
Gina Mingacci executive produces, and Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric) directed episodes one and two of the first season.
“Jonathan is one of the smartest, most talented, insightful, and human showrunners we’ve ever worked with,” said Chief Content Officer of AMC Networks and President of AMC Studios Dan McDermott. “He has created a series that is smart, witty, and nuanced, with dynamic characters, and something to say about our world, and this particular world that has such a huge impact on our culture, our economy, and the very lives we are all living. Season one is fantastic; season two can’t come soon enough. Thank you to Jonathan, Gina, and the incredible cast and crew of The Audacity, for bringing this story and these characters to life.”
