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 (Billy 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.<br \/><strong>Panelists:<\/strong> Billy Magnussen, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein<br \/><strong>Distributor:<\/strong> AMC<br \/><strong>Premiered:<\/strong> March 14, 2026<br \/><strong>Key Quote:<\/strong> \u201cThere are timely topics on the show. I\u2019m definitely not claiming to be a tech expert or anything, but I think it\u2019s the humanity that Jonathan Glatzer has put into these characters. The show is about people that went into this world with good intentions, wanting to build the perfect product. And they\u2019re flawed themselves, and then they had money added onto that power wealth. But the story that\u2019s fun is the corruption of that power, the weight of all that stuff, and these people trying to be these larger-than-life titans in this world, but they\u2019re still just humans that have faults,\u201d explained Magnussen, before Helberg noted, \u201cThere\u2019s something that feels urgent about this story. At least, the way that I see it, when we were going to work, it feels like, \u2018We better tell this story now, because this is also going to be a headline in six hours.&#8217;\u201d<br \/><strong>Deadline Studio at SXSW presented by Redbreast Irish Whiskey.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE AUDACITYSection: TV PremiereCreator: Jonathan GlatzerLogline: Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity takes on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[34741,83565,18,117,19,17,176592,62590,176472,159327,128],"class_list":["post-385989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-amc","tag-billy-magnussen","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jonathan-glatzer","tag-sxsw","tag-sxsw-studio","tag-the-audacity","tag-tv"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116231756010405994","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
