The teaser trailer is up: HBO - Silicon Valley Teaser Trailer (2014)

The series stars Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, Josh Brener, Christopher Welch, and Amanda Crew. Silicon Valley debuts on HBO Sunday, April 6th.

There's some discussion from the TCA panel here: HBO's 'Silicon Valley' Hopes to be 'Entourage' for the Startup Scene

Here's the logline for the show:

Richard (Middleditch) is an introverted computer programmer living in the Hacker Hostel start-up incubator along with his best friend, Big Head (Brener), pompous Gilfoyle (Starr) and dry-witted Dinesh (Nanjiani). These social misfits live under the watch of Erlich (Miller), a self-satisfied dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his house for free as long as he gets a ten percent stake in their projects.

After a failed pitch to billionaire venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Welch), Richard seems destined to remain at his job at the tech company Hooli, founded by the megalomaniacal Gavin Belson (Ross). When Monica (Crew), Gregorys head of operations, and Jared (Woods), a Hooli executive, realize the value of the sites compression algorithm, a bidding war erupts between Belson and Gregory, with Richard caught in the middle.

EDIT: There's a mirror for the trailer here in case that youtube link goes down.

Cheddahz · Feb 8, 2014

Good to see that Gabe got a new job after his falling out at Dunder Mifflin

Not a Jellyfish · Feb 8, 2014

Looks good, will give it a shot.

potam · Feb 8, 2014

I mean, it is like perfect.

DietRob · Feb 8, 2014

This has the potential to be great. Loved Office Space.

Joe · Feb 8, 2014

I really don't like Kumail, still excited though.

TJ Miller is pretty damn funny.

jay · Feb 8, 2014

Nerds who got picked on trying to show the world, what a unique concept.

Trailers usually suck, though. Maybe it will be good.

Clevinger · Feb 8, 2014

looks good

I really like Kumail

bishopp35 · Feb 8, 2014

I'll be hones and say that I'm only interested because of Kumail Nanjiani (and maybe Mike Judge), and that teaser left me cold.

Bladenic · Feb 8, 2014

I'm in.

Neuromancer · Feb 8, 2014

Was that Bill from Freaks and Geeks? I'm in.

akira28 · Feb 8, 2014

not feelin it. might be good tho.

Sanjuro · Feb 8, 2014

Love it.

Still wish there was another season of Beavis and Butt-Head.

CrocMother · Feb 8, 2014

I'll always check out something Mike Judge does.

Yep. Martin Starr. He was on Party Down, too!

He's been on Veep a few times, as well.

Tucah · Feb 9, 2014

Great cast and Mike Judge, I have high hopes.

BoboBrazil · Feb 9, 2014

This will be great. Mike Judge and HBO with a great premise. It can't get much better than that.

Really excited for this

Deleted member 8095 · Feb 18, 2014

Will definitely give this a shot.

- Silicon Valley Season 1: Trailer

Cartman86 · Feb 24, 2014

Great cast, but what are the chances that there are any good female characters in this thing? Or at the very least even acknowledging the problems the tech industry has with it?

PAULINK · Feb 24, 2014

Damn, I need to see this. I'm a geek and I love Mike Judge!

Ð¯AW · Feb 24, 2014

Show has potential and season one trailer looked good. I just hope the shtick isn't "look how uncool and awkward these nerds are". We already have Big Bang Theory.

metsallica · Feb 24, 2014

Trailer was pretty good, high hopes for this. But if it fails maybe Judge will go back to B&B again...

v1lla21 · Feb 24, 2014

Trailer looked good. I don't have HBO though

Cornballer · Feb 24, 2014

I finally took a look at the trailer this morning - the doctor's office bit was my favorite, but it was all pretty amusing. Very much looking forward to seeing this in April.

dave is ok · Feb 24, 2014

I don't know why but I can't stand TJ Miller

kris. · Feb 24, 2014

TJ Miller and Mike Judge on HBO?

ohhhhhhh yes, will be watching.

NerdEyeBlind · Feb 24, 2014

Teaser was funny

snack dick

rezuth · Feb 24, 2014

Damn, missed this. I'm hoping for some surprise appearences from famous people in the tech biz.

smokeandmirrors · Feb 24, 2014

Damn. Will check this out.

Enduin · Feb 24, 2014

Looks pretty good. It's like a who's who of stereotype nerdy actors.

Zen_Arcade · Feb 24, 2014

I wish HBO would just let me pay to stream their shows. I don't want to buy the channel every month for like two shows.

FStop7 · Feb 24, 2014

So we're finally getting a (sort of) sequel to Office Space...

Mackenzie 92 · Feb 24, 2014

just saw the trailer. looks good.

Absolutely. I'm in.

cpp_is_king · Feb 25, 2014

As a software engineer in Silicon Valley, this hits really close to home, and the trailer is fucking hilarious. But is it enough to get me to subscribe to HBO? Fuck, I don't know

Acid08 · Feb 25, 2014

So in for this. Mike Judge, HBO, and Kumail Nanjiani. Awesome.

speculawyer · Feb 25, 2014

I'd love to write for this.

Tim the Wiz · Feb 25, 2014

Mike Judge on HBO? <3

Joe said:

TJ Miller is pretty damn funny.

Kumail is the best stand-up on this show and he always delivers on podcasts (which doesn't necessarily translate into acting chops though) . A lot to like IMO.

Even Girls usually has at least one decent male character per episode. This is obviously a kind of Entourage replacement for HBO but hopefully it's just the trailer not being the full picture (i.e. no sign of Amanda Crew's character besides maybe a voice-over).

Lactose_Intolerant · Feb 25, 2014

Martin Starr has been great in everything I have ever seen him in. He even has the best scene in the trailer

He's hilarious on Portlandia.

charsace · Feb 25, 2014

This cast has some really funny guys in it. I will watch though Amazon put out a similar comedy near the end of last year.

demon · Feb 27, 2014

You had me at Mike Judge.

Fury Sense · Feb 27, 2014

dear based graham, the amount of memes in that trailer. could take a season or two to catch up but i think a sv lampoon could be pretty good
