This marks the fourth new series HBO has premiered in 2014, following heralded crime drama True Detective, low-key dramedy Looking, and show business comedy Doll & Em, as the network looks to replenish its ranks. There’s been a lot of movement at HBO in recent months with notable comedy cancellations (Family Tree, Hello Ladies) and several dramas ending within the same year (Treme, Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom, True Blood) and the network still has at least one more new show to premiere this year in Damon Lindelof’s The Leftovers.

Silicon Valley stars Thomas Middleditch (Trophy Wife), T. J. Miller (The Goodwin Games), Zach Woods (The Office), Kumail Nanjiani (Franklin and Bash), and Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks).

Silicon Valley airs Sundays at 10:00 on HBO.

What did you think about the series premiere of Silicon Valley? Will the show be able to find an audience following Game of Thrones? Is this the Next Great HBO Comedy?

Silicon Valley will be the third new series to premiere this year on HBO, which has already debuted crime drama True Detective and gay dramedy Looking. It’s a transitional year for the network, as several of its established shows will be concluding in this calendar year after even more have been outright cancelled (Family Tree, Hello Ladies) in the past few months. Due to the turnover at the network, Silicon Valley might have a decent chance at getting a second season, seeing as how HBO will be replacing some big hitters in 2015 (True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom) and therefore might want to focus on certain quarters/timeslots vs. having to rebuild their entire schedule following their 2014 launches. After Silicon Valley, the fourth and final HBO series premiere of 2014 will be Damon Lindelof’s return to television The Leftovers, a genre drama based on the novel of the same name. That series will premiere this summer alongside the final season of True Blood.

In addition to Middleditch and Miller, Silicon Valley stars Zach Woods (The Office), Kumail Nanjiani (Portlandia), Martin Starr (NTSF: SD: SUV::), Josh Brener (Glory Daze), and Christopher Evan Welch (The Master).

The series premiere of Silicon Valley is set to air Sunday, April 6th at 10:30 on HBO, where it will follow the fourth season premiere of Game of Thrones and the third season premiere of Veep.

Will you be watching Silicon Valley? Do you think the show will fit in with Game of Thrones and Veep? With all the turnover going on at HBO, are the odds of a second season of Silicon Valley greater than they would’ve been otherwise?
