The irony of Richard's situation is surely not lost on anyone who's kept up with the series since its 2014 premiere, in which he turned down millions of dollars from Hooli CEO Gavin Belson (Matt Ross), to pursue all the gratifying challenges of building his own company from scratch and making the world a better place through middle-out data compression. It looks as though Richard will have his hands full trying to maintain a modicum of control over his creation, as he's informed during the opening sequence that he's "created a company too valuable for to run." ![]() The trailer provides audiences with a solid idea as to what season 3 will entail and what kind of problems – personally and professionally – the team at Pied Piper will face now that they're not just putting out random fires (figuratively and literally) caused by lunatic angel investors like Chris Diamantopoulos' Russ Hanneman.

Amidst the potential professional setback for Thomas Middleditch's nervous programmer Richard Hendricks are wall-to-wall jokes at the expense of everyone from Zach Woods' Donald 'Jared' Dunn to newcomer and future Pied Piper CEO Jack Barker (played by the great Stephen Tobolowski). ![]() With the show's season 3 premiere a little more than a month away, HBO has seen fit to offer fans a taste of what's to come, along with a new poster that shows how the team at Pied Piper will find themselves at the mercy (and for one of them, embarrassingly in the employ) of the company they helped create. But Mike Judge's Emmy-winning series – along with its mid-spring counterpart, Veep – has also earned a reputation for offering viewers a much-needed post- Game of Thrones cool-down period that helps relax the tension built-up during the previous hour's unscrupulous Westerosi maneuverings. Over the past two seasons, Silicon Valley has made a name for itself in part because of its comedic charm, biting wit, and incredible aptitude for skewering the eponymous California mecca of tech and start-up culture. ![]()
