HBO’s Silicon Valley has been one of my favorite comedy shows to watch. Mostly because I can relate to the crazy experiences that the characters have gone through over the years. I love this show, but unfortunately it’s coming to an end.
HBO has announced that the sixth season of Silicon Valley will be its last. Season 6 will premiere later this year and it will only consist of seven episodes. That’s a lower episode count than previous seasons. It’s a shame that the show is ending, but we all knew it was going to eventually happen. There have been rumors that Season 6 would be the final season.
Executive producers/showrunners Mike Judge and Alec Berg had this to say in a statement:
“Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us. We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew, and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.”
In previously discussing the show, HBO president of programming Casey Bloys said:
“In terms of last season, it’s a natural question; we have had conversations with them. Obviously when you get to the sixth season of a show, you have to talk about how much more is there in this, do you want to do more, so we have had those conversations. We are open to any version but, as we did with Veep, we put it to (the producers) and say, what do you think. They need to get in the room wit the writers and see what feels right.”
The creative team obviously feels that it is time to bring the story of these wonderfully fun characters to an end. I really hope that they end up finding the success that they have been working towards!
