AMC Greenlights New Silicon Valley Drama from ‘Succession’ Writer Jonathan Glatzer!!

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Interview with the Vampire would return for a third season, AMC has revealed its partnership with Jonathan Glatzer on a new project. Falling into the category of a cutthroat and darkly comedic business drama, the untitled series will follow a scandal set in Silicon Valley. Centered around two main characters, the misconduct at the core of the plot is brought on by a mishandling of personal data which sees the so-called “inventor of the future” CEO and his “performance psychologist” at each other’s throats. With their secrets slipping out of the walls of the corporation and into the gossipy streets of Silicon Valley, the truth will come to light in an explosive way.

In a statement paired with the show’s announcement, Glatzer voiced his excitement about pairing with AMC for yet another project, following his work on Better Call Saul, and cast light on not only his inspiration for the untitled production but also offered information about what audiences can expect. He said:

“The tech world and the future it is offering is in the hands of some frighteningly self-involved people. They radiate a bizarre, semi-deity-like energy, but even they cannot escape their own humanity. So rather than do something directly about ‘tech,’ I wanted to focus on the people. And not just the titans, but the antsy wannabe titans, the kids and spouses of the wannabes; their housekeepers, their schools, their psychiatrists, their dogs and gurus alike, all of them living in this bubble where they truly believe – and perhaps rightly – they are inventing the future, dogs excepted.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to be doing this with AMC. At a time when networks are looking for fastballs and strikes, I gave them a darkly comedic curveball, and to their tremendous credit, they have given me nothing but the greatest support a writer could ask for.”
