The highly anticipated new drama series, The Audacity, will premiere exclusively on Australia's home of premium drama - SBS. This darkly comedic eight-episode drama comes from Emmy , Peabody , WGA , PGA Award-winner Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Bad Sisters, Better Call Saul), marking his first-ever series creation.

The Audacity premieres Wednesday 15 April at 9.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand, with episodes fast-tracked weekly. The Audacity has also been renewed for a second season, which will premiere on SBS at a later date.

Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacitytakes 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 optimised in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Through biting satire and wit, The Audacity confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fuelling our ever-changing world.

Magnussen stars as Duncan Park, Sarah Goldberg as Dr. JoAnne Felder, Zach Galifianakis as Carl Bardolph, 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). Episode directors include Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt, Eric), Dan Sackheim, Dan Longino and Alex Buono.

In April, The Audacity's premiere will be complemented by the exclusive premieres of the smash-hit punk drama series Riot Women (2 April) and returning crime noir Dark Winds (Season 4) (16 April).

Kathryn Fink, SBS Director of Television said: SBS is proud to bring Australians the very best drama from our shores and around the world, and The Audacity is a standout. Fresh and biting, the series holds an unflinching mirror up to Silicon Valley to expose both its humour and horrors. The Audacity is set to become the next global hit.

The Audacity is an AMC Studios Production. SBS holds the exclusive Australian premiere rights for The Audacity.

The Audacity premieres Wednesday, 15 April at 9.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
