March 9, 2026

AMC announced today that its upcoming drama The Audacity has been renewed for a second season. The early pickup comes just days ahead of its world premiere at South by Southwest, and a month ahead of its television premiere on April 12.

"From the start, The Audacity exists because Kristin Dolan, Dan McDermott, and AMC Networks decided that 'playing it safe' is vastly overrated," said creator 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 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."

"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 [Mingacci] and the incredible cast and crew of The Audacity, for bringing this story and these characters to life."

Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, the series takes on the warped dreams, outsized egos, and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world filled with jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs and disillusioned teens being optimized in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO is striving to turn insight and influence into profit and power.
