AMC's The Audacity, created by Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Better Call Saul), drops viewers into an insular Silicon Valley where "billionaire man-children" wreak havoc on the tech world and their families. Central is data-mining CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen), who appears to be committing major fraud as he chases profit and power.

Zach Galifianakis plays Carl Bardolph, a once-idealistic pioneer, and Sarah Goldberg is Dr. JoAnne Felder, the tech bros' go-to therapist — whatever they're paying her, it's not enough. The trailer shows the three crashing out, trading outrageous one-liners and moving through a web of gurus, yes-men, and disillusioned teenagers.

“Genius is not about figuring out the solution,” Duncan says in the trailer. “It's about being unhinged enough to do something outrageous with it.” The series also stars Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, Ava Marie Telek, and Randall Park.
