Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen Dive Into Tech Chaos in THE AUDACITY Trailer

AMC+ has releaserd the trailer for The Audacity, a new dark comedy series that skewers Silicon Valley’s favorite pastime of chasing power while pretending it’s progress. If you enjoy watching billionaire egos unravel in spectacular fashion, this one looks right up your alley.

Created by Jonathan Glatzer, the writer and producer known for his work on Succession, Better Call Saul, Bloodline, and Bad Sisters, the series plants its flag firmly in the tech satire space.

It isn’t just poking fun at startups and AI labs. It digs into privacy scandals, warped ambition, and the self-made prophets who think they’re inventing the future.

The trailer introduces us to Duncan Park, played by Billy Magnussen, a data-mining CEO who describes himself as an innovator shaping tomorrow. His company’s latest mess? A scandal fueled by the exploitation of personal data. The show’s tagline reads: “Move fast and break people.”

Duncan isn’t facing the fallout alone. Zach Galifianakis plays Carl Bardolph, a former Silicon Valley idealist who cashed in big by building a spam empire. Now he’s orbiting the chaos as things spiral.

There’s also Sarah Goldberg as Dr. JoAnne Felder, an underpaid therapist catering to the fragile minds of tech titans who can’t quite handle the consequences of their own genius.

Set deep inside the Silicon Valley bubble, The Audacity dives into the world of jaded billionaires, self-styled performance psychologists, bio-hacked founders, AI labs, and teenagers being “optimized” in elite private schools. At the center of it all is Duncan Park, chasing influence and profit while the ethical lines blur beyond recognition.

The supporting cast includes Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Simon Helberg, Paul Adelstein, Lucy Punch, and Everett Blunck of The Plague.

Glatzer not only created and wrote the series, he’s also serving as showrunner. There’s no shortage of tech-world dramas on streaming right now, but The Audacity looks ready to carve out its own space by leaning into the absurdity and moral gymnastics that define modern Silicon Valley.

Between Magnussen’s slick CEO energy and Galifianakis’ knack for offbeat chaos, this could be a sharp, funny, and crazy ride.

AMC will debut The Audacity on AMC+ starting April 12th, 2026.
