Billy Magnussen is gearing up for a prominent role in AMC’s upcoming Silicon Valley drama, where he will star alongside Sarah Goldberg. In this series, Magnussen plays a self-proclaimed “inventor of the future,” who finds himself embroiled in a scandal after exploiting personal data. The show, which remains untitled for now, is being funded by Jonathan Glatzer and Gina Mingacci, with Glatzer also serving as the producer.
The drama has been in the works for a while, with months of pitching before the production company gave it the green light last year. While further details about the show are yet to be revealed, it promises to explore the world of tech innovation and its darker side.
Magnussen has been making waves with his recent performances, including his role in HBO’s superhero film The Franchise, which was created by Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci. In addition to the Silicon Valley project, Magnussen is also working on several other exciting ventures. He will star alongside Margot Robbie in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and portray Pleakley in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Lilo and Stitch. Other notable projects include Lift and Road House, where he received praise for his performances.
As the details about the Silicon Valley drama unfold, fans can expect even more exciting roles from Magnussen in the near future.
