The first season of “Super Pumped,” which is able to debut on Showtime February 27, 2022, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Travis Kalanick, the co-founder of Uber who resigned after mounting stories concerning the corporate’s insurance policies in 2017. Kyle Chandler will co-star as enterprise capital accomplice Bill Gurley, whereas Hank Azaria, Uma Thurman, and Kerry Bishé tackle supporting roles. It’s too early to inform who will lead the solid of “Super Pumped” season two, although the anthology sequence will possible function a completely new solid for its unrelated second season.
“Super Pumped” will not be the primary on-screen adaptation of Zuckerberg’s life (“The Social Network” famously spotlighted the tech big approach again in 2010), and it isn’t even the one sequence adaptation within the works proper now. A Facebook-centric sequence based mostly on a e-book by Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang can be headed to HBO. That sequence is titled (*2*) and is ready to star Claire Foy as Sandberg.
The Showtime anthology sequence is co-created and government produced by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, the group behind the channel’s long-running sequence “Billions.” Beth Schacter will even government produce “Super Pumped,” and all three will work as writers and showrunners on the sequence. Paul Schiff can be on board as an government producer and is the one member of the core group with no “Billions” crossover.
The present TV panorama appears to be fixated on tales of American company catastrophes; other than the Uber season of “Super Pumped,” two different upcoming sequence — “WeCrashed” and “The Dropout” — hone in on tales about once-promising startups that confronted backlash or catastrophe. The topics of “Super Pumped” season two nonetheless appear to be thriving, however I’m wanting to see what Isaac’s reporting digs up and the way it interprets on display screen.
“Super Pumped” season one will debut on Showtime on February 27, 2022.
