At one point, T.J. Miller was part of the cast as well, but let’s all move on and pretend that never happened.
LikeBarry, the current season ofSilicon Valleywill wrap-up onMay 13, 2018.
“WhileBarryhas delighted audiences with its deft interplay of comedy and drama,Siliconremains as brilliantly and frighteningly prescient as ever,” said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming. “We’re thrilled that these two smart, funny shows are returning for another season.”
I’ll confess I haven’t watchedSilicon Valleysince its first season, but plenty of people have told me it’s still going strong. It must be, if HBO is willing to give it yet another season.
