Tom Hollander (“Dune: Prophecy,” “The Uprising”) is joining the cast of AMC’s satirical drama “The Audacity” in a recurring role in Season 2.
Production is currently underway in Vancouver, Canada and the eight-episode
season is set to return to AMC and AMC+ in 2027.
Hollander will play Big Tim, described as “a powerful tech billionaire and CEO of Cupertino whose public persona masks his desire for control and revenge.”
“We are absurdly fortunate to have Tom Hollander joining our already terrific cast,” executive producer, writer and showrunner Jonathan Glatzer said in a statement. “He makes everything he’s in smarter, funnier and more dangerous, often at the same time. We’re enormously thrilled.”
The series follows “warped dreams, outsized egos and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world of jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs and disillusioned teens being optimized in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power,” per the official logline. “The darkly comedic drama confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.”
Hollander joins Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge and Ava Marie Telek in the second season.
Hollander is repped by Anonymous Content, WME and United Agents.
“The Audacity” comes from executive producer, writer and showrunner Jonathan Glatzer and executive producer Gina Mingacci (“Killing Eve”). The series is an AMC Studios production, with AMC Global Media holding the worldwide rights to the series.
