What’s This TV Show About?
A scripted comedy on the HBO premium channel, Silicon Valley stars Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, Josh Brener, Amanda Crew, Matt Ross, Jimmy O. Yang, and Suzanne Cryer. Change is on the way in season four. The Pied Piper guys are pursuing their video-chat app, PiperChat, but Richard (Middleditch) still wants to use his algorithm for better things. The HBO TV series parodies the tech world, even as the team continues to try to make its mark.

Telly’s Take
In early April, Clay Tarver was promoted to the role of co-showrunner, for a possible fifth season, which is a promising sign that I’ll need to seek sustenance somewhere else. Since Silicon Valley has been one of HBO’s top performers, I expect a renewal is more likely than not, as long as the ratings don’t suddenly tank.

What do you think? Are you happy the Silicon Valley TV show will be renewed for a fifth season? How would you feel, had HBO cancelled this TV show, instead?
It’s always the same narrative – something goes wrong and seems impossible to get out of but just before the end of the episode something goes right.
However, I hope they continue with season 5 and just end it there.
It seems that way but as someone who is a techie doing their own startup this is reality. It’s scary real. Sometimes my business partners and I watch the show and say stuff like “we just went through that” or “I think we’re about to hit that.”
I i hope there is a season 5. I binge watched every season n love it. Hilarious
I think that it should be renewed. I will be sad if it gets cancelled
