While HBO has not yet cancelled or renewed Silicon Valley for season five, in early April, the premium cable comedy tapped Clay Tarver to serve as co-showrunner for a possible fifth season. As a paid subscription channel, HBO doesn’t have to worry about ad revenue. However, they do have to retain and attract subscribers, so the popularity of their shows is still important to them. Can the fourth season draw enough eyeballs? Will Silicon Valley be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season? Stay tuned.
Silicon Valley stars Thomas Middleditch as Richard Hendricks; T.J. Miller as Erlich; Zach Woods as Jared; Kumail Nanjiani as Dinesh; Martin Starr as Gilfoyle; Josh Brener as Big Head; Amanda Crew as Monica; Matt Ross as Gavin Belson; Jimmy O. Yang as Jian-Yang; and Suzanne Cryer as Laurie Bream. The HBO comedy series follows the lives of a group of developers who live together and chase success in Northern California.

5/15 update: Silicon Valley has been renewed for season five on HBO. Details here.
Have been watching Silicon Valley here in the UK after reading a glowing review in the national press. Working for a US tech co. this show resonates so closely with what I’ve experienced. The hire/fire culture of senior management, the huge egos, the volatile technology and even more volatile (not) all important stock price.
I love this show, fingers crossed there’ll be a season 5.
Same joke over and over guys gets kind of stale.
Need a new character to be introduced especially a female lead.
Perfect show for the times we live in. I believe it can be saved with some better writing and plot development.
My vote is no. Do not cancel it.
Bull****. Female lead? In Sillicon Valley?
