HBO’s Silicon Valley to premiere its final season later this year
By Ariba Bhuvad
Pied Piper fans, the time has come to bid farewell to Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley is yet another classic show that will be ending its story in 2019. This year has just been extremely brutal to us, hasn’t it? And now, we must add Silicon Valley to the list, and I feel utterly devastated.
Of course, the rumor that the HBO series would likely be ending had been circulating for months, but Deadline officially confirmed it on Friday. The series is currently in pre-production but will begin filming shortly and air its final seven episodes later this year on HBO.
The show’s cast took to social media upon the announcement to share their thoughts and begin saying goodbye to a show that has made us laugh for all these years. Take a look at Thomas Middledith’s (who plays the awkwardly hilarious Richard) Instagram post below, and get ready to cry your heart out.
Ugh, I’m not ready to say goodbye–not yet!
The executive producers and showrunners of Silicon Valley, Mike Judge and Alec Berg, promise fans that the final season will be a fitting conclusion to the story of the Pied Piper boys.
"Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us. We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place."
Many fans saw this coming because after being renewed for a sixth season in April 2018, we didn’t get the season around the March/April timeframe as we usually do. When 2019 rolled around and those months flew by, there was definitely cause for concern, and it appears, we were right!

The series also stars Zach Woods as Jared, Kumail Nanjiani as Dinesh, Martin Starr as Gilfoyle, Amanda Crew as Monica, Jimmy O. Yang as Jian-Yang, Suzanne Cryer as Laurie Bream, Matt Ross as Gavin Belson and Josh Brener as Big Head, as written out by Deadline. To say that we’ll miss each and every one of these guys is the biggest understatement of the year. Their silly shenanigans on a path to acquire success for Pied Piper has been a great one, and I can’t wait to see what the ending has in store for us.
