View and Embed An Inside Look at The Audacity
NEW YORK – April 3, 2026 – Today, AMC and AMC+ released an inside look at The Audacity, featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast of the upcoming Silicon Valley drama from Emmy® Award-winner Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Bad Sisters, Better Call Saul). The series, which just had its World Premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW), is already receiving early critical acclaim, being heralded as a “fascinating tightwire to watch with an excellent cast and sharp writing,” by Awards Buzz, with Mashable touting that “Billy Magnussen and Sarah Goldberg kill it in ‘The Audacity’.” The highly anticipated series debuts Sunday, April 12 on AMC and AMC+, with a two-episode premiere on AMC+ and new episodes streaming weekly. On AMC, new episodes will air Sundays at 9pm ET/PT. The April 12 series premiere will also be simulcast on BBC AMERICA, IFC, SundanceTV, and We TV.
Already renewed for a second season, The Audacity is set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley and 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 Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Sarah Goldberg stars as Dr. JoAnne Felder, a poorly compensated therapist to the tech titans of Silicon Valley, while Zach Galifianakis portrays Carl Bardolph, a former idealist pioneer of Silicon Valley who made his fortune off spam. The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.
The exciting cast also includes Lucy Punch as Lili Park-Hoffsteader, Simon Helberg as Martin Phister, Rob Corddry as Tom Ruffage, Meaghan Rath as Anushka Bhattachera-Phister, Paul Adelstein as Dr. Gary Felder, Everett Blunck as Orson Stern, Thailey Roberge as Tess Phister, Ava Marie Telek as Jamison Park-Hoffsteader, with Randall Park guest starring as Gabe, the qualm-free CFO of a data mining operation.
Glatzer serves as executive producer, writer and showrunner, alongside executive producer Gina Mingacci (Killing Eve). Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric) directs the pilot and the series’ second episode, Dan Sackheim directs Episodes 3 and 4, Dan Longino directs Episodes 5 and 6, while Alex Buono directs Episodes 7 and 8. The Audacity is an AMC Studios Production, with AMC Networks holding the worldwide rights to the series.

AMC+ And Shudder To Debut The Terror: Devil In Silver, A New Installment Of The Acclaimed Horror Anthology Series The Terror, Thursday, May 7
Six-Episode Limited Series Features Award-Winning Ensemble Cast, Including
Dan Stevens, Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi and More
Executive Produced by Ridley Scott, Showrunners Chris Cantwell and Victor LaValle and Emmy® Nominee Karyn Kusama, Who Directs the First Two Episodes
First-Look Images Released
NEW YORK – March 19, 2026 – AMC+ and Shudder will premiere The Terror: Devil in Silver, a new installment of the acclaimed horror anthology The Terror, on Thursday, May 7, with new episodes rolling out weekly. The six-episode limited series is executive produced by Ridley Scott, writers and showrunners Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and Victor LaValle (The Changeling), author of the celebrated novel on which the season is based, and Emmy® nominee Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), who directs the first two episodes. The new installment will also air on AMC later this year.
Dan Stevens (Abigail, Downton Abbey), who also serves as executive producer, stars as Pepper – a working-class moving man who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with those society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients working against him, doctors harboring grim secrets, and perhaps even the Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.
In addition to Stevens, the series stars Judith Light (Before, Out of My Mind), CCH Pounder (Rustin, NCIS: New Orleans), Aasif Mandvi (Evil, This Way Up), John Benjamin Hickey (The Big C, Lilly), Stephen Root (Barry, Heads of State), Michael Aronov (The Americans, Operation Finale), Marin Ireland (Sneaky Pete, Glass Chin), Chinaza Uche (Silo, A Good Person), Hampton Fluker (Shades of Blue, Instant Family), b (WeCrashed, You), Hayward Leach (Tom Swift, Love Life), and Philip Ettinger (First Reformed, I Know This Much Is True).
“Working shoulder to shoulder with Victor LaValle to bring his masterful novel to the screen has been an incredible experience, as his story is, yes—packed with death and horror—but also brimming with beauty and the flickering-yet-unassailable light of our fragile humanity,” said Cantwell. “Our writing team expanded and enriched Victor’s pulse-pounding and profound themes, Karyn Kusama brought a brilliant cinematic eye to this very real, very frightening world and we did it all under the accomplished, hallowed banner of Scott Free with a top tier crew. It was a pleasure to return to my inveterate partnership with AMC, a place where above all, characters and drama grip you tight and don’t let go. The Terror: Devil in Silver is no different, as this cast—helmed with grace and strength by Dan Stevens—imbues every one of our characters with dimension, empathy, and soul. You will love these people who very much come from your world. You will grieve with them, cheer for them, laugh with them, and of course fear for their very lives.”
“The Terror: Devil in Silver represents everything we love about this anthology – a compelling real-life setting with a veil of supernatural dread, dynamic characters brought to life through powerhouse performances, and a suspenseful, emotionally gripping story that stays with you long after the credits roll,” said Courtney Thomasma, AMC Networks’ Executive Vice President of Linear and Streaming Products. “We’re thrilled to co-premiere this new chapter on both AMC+ and the leading horror streamer Shudder, as we bring the series to both premium drama viewers and a passionate horror fanbase. Debuting on the heels of Shudder’s annual Halfway to Halloween programming event serves as a perfect celebration of this kind of elevated genre storytelling.”
The Terror: Devil in Silver is executive produced by Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker and Clayton Krueger for Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Brooke Kennedy, alongside series showrunners Cantwell and LaValle, director Kusama, and star Stevens.
Previous seasons of The Terror focused on a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage and haunting events in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. The original series became one of AMC+’s most watched library titles following its addition to the service in 2023. Both seasons are currently streaming on AMC+ and Shudder.

The Vampire Lestat Set to Debut Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+
SECOND ELECTRIFYING ROCK SINGLE “ALL FALL DOWN” RELEASED ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS ALONG WITH SERIES’ NEW ROUSING OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE
Original Music and Lyrics by Series Composer Daniel Hart
Download Title Sequence: HERE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 13, 2026 – The world’s first immortal rockstar, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), is back pleasing fledglings and fans worldwide with the debut of “All Fall Down,” the second official rock single from The Vampire Lestat, ahead of its premiere on Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+. AMC Networks and Lakeshore Records have released the single on the recently launched Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, with additional songs to be released in the coming months. As an added bonus, the series’ new rousing opening title sequence featuring the single has also been released. “All Fall Down’s” original music and lyrics are by series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Reid. This song follows the recent drop of the series’ first official rock single, “Long Face”.
In the upcoming rock and roll centric season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population. In addition to Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
Said Daniel Hart: “’All Fall Down’ is both the title track for the new season and the idea for a song by the Vampire Lestat from early in the band’s life. Much like ‘Long face’, it feels heavily influenced by Bowie, T. Rex, and other 70s rock’n’roll stars who were looking back to the blues as much as they were looking up to the stars for inspiration. ‘All Fall Down’ marks a time in this vampire band’s life when they were still figuring out exactly what their sound was, and before Lestat himself started to change personas and explore other musical styles. At the same time, with ‘All Fall Down’, we tried to capture the overall feeling of this new Lestat we get to know better and better throughout the season: more wild, more raw, more self-deprecatingly funny than ever before.”
Said the Vampire Lestat: “’All Fall Down’ is mercifully only 68 seconds long. That’s 54 seconds more Daniel Hart than anyone should suffer. I like the harmonies on the chorus. I did those.”

ABOUT DANIEL HART
Daniel Hart is a composer and performer based in Los Angeles. Hart made his feature film debut in 2013 with the critically acclaimed Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, which began his collaboration with filmmaker David Lowery. Hart has composed the music for all of Lowery’s films, including The Green Knight, Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story, Old Man and The Gun, and the upcoming Mother Mary. Over the past decade, he has also scored multiple TV shows, from Fox’s The Exorcist, to SMILF, to SUNNY. He has written music for This American Life, and composed the score for S Town, one of the most popular podcasts of all time.
Hart and showrunner Rolin Jones have been collaborating on Interview with the Vampire since 2021.

Hart’s musical career started on the road, as a hired gun for bands such as St. Vincent, Broken Social Scene, Other Lives, and The Polyphonic Spree. He has also fronted his own band, Dark Rooms, since 2013.

The Audacity of an Early Season Two Renewal
Series Starring Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry and More Premieres April 12 on AMC and AMC+
NEW YORK – March 9, 2026 – AMC Networks today announced it has ordered a second season of its forthcoming Silicon Valley drama The Audacity, days before its World Premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, TX. The first season of eight episodes comes to AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, April 12.
Created, written and executive produced by Emmy®, Peabody®, WGA®, PGA® Award-winner Jonathan Glatzer (Better Call Saul, Succession, Bad Sisters), The Audacity is an AMC Studios production executive produced by Gina Mingacci (Killing Eve) and featuring a star-studded cast including Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek. Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric) directs the first two episodes of the first season. The second season will also feature eight episodes.
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. The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy, and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.
“Jonathan is one of the smartest, most talented, insightful and human showrunners we’ve ever worked with,” said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer of AMC Networks and President of AMC Studios. “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.”
Said Creator and Executive Producer Jonathan Glatzer: “From the start, The Audacity exists because Kristin Dolan, Dan McDermott, and AMC Networks decided that ‘playing it safe’ is vastly overrated. 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 pick-up, 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.”
The Audacity will have its World Premiere at SXSW in Austin, Texas on Saturday, March 14. The two-episode screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Glatzer, Mingacci, Forbes and cast members Magnussen, Punch, Helberg, Corddry, Rath and Adelstein, moderated by iconic journalist Kara Swisher.
