‘Silicon Valley’ Season Three Teaser: How Far Will Richard Go?
Season two ofSilicon Valleydid not disappoint. The episode where Pied Piper (minor spoiler alert) live-streamed somebody trapped at the bottom of a ravine? Wonderful. The season two finale ended things on a high note with a surprisingly suspenseful final episode. What’s changed for Pied Piper since season two? Based on theSilicon Valleyseason three teaser, not much.
Last season (Thomas Middleditch) was fired from Pied Piper, the company he co-created. After losing a majority of the stake in the company, he’s let go as chief executive. How far will he go to get Pied Piper back? Hard to tell after watching this 30-second teaser, but it’s clear Richard is still Richard, and the same can be said for Erlich Bachman (T.J. Miller, always a scene-stealer).
Here’s theSilicon Valleyseason three teaser:
Middleditch, Miller,Zach Woods,Kumail Nanjiani,Martin StarrandJosh Brenerplay our tech heroes, and right from the start of the show, the casting just felt right. Some shows, especially during the initial season, tend to find their footing — but that wasn’t really the case forSilicon Valley. The cast set the tone incredibly well, and their dynamic is arguably the main draw of the comedy series.
Even the guest roles are wonderful, most notably Russ Hanneman (Chris Diamantopoulus). This seasonStephen Tobolowskyjoins the show. I’m not sure who he’s playing, but since it’s Tobolowsky, I just assume it’ll be good. Every actor is given something to do on this show. Few opportunities are wasted onSilicon Valley. You don’t see Tobolowsky’s face in frame, but that’s whom Richard is talking to in that final scene.
It’s impossible to even pick a most valuable player amongst this cast, because they all bring something different to the table. However, the one character I am the most excited to see return is Erlich Bachman. Miller always delivers in the role. Beyond just being incredibly funny, the character is strangely endearing, despite his ego.
Audiences can see Miller in theaters this weekend beforeSilicon Valleyreturns, as the actor has a supporting role in 20th Century Fox’sDeadpool. As expected, the actor is very funny as Wade’s buddy, and he actually brings some heart to the movie — which there’s a surprising amount of in the filthy comic book movie.
I digress, but you really should seeDeadpoolthis weekend, and not just for T.J. Miller. you’re able to see Miller playing Erlich Bachman again inSilicon Valleyseason 3 onApril 24th, though.
