Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley will soon kick off its fifth and likely penultimate season, though the specter of comedian T.J. Miller’s exit still looms large. A new inside look at the series alleges that Miller was frequently intoxicated and absent from set, though plans were made to include him in Season 5.

Erlich Bachman is gone. So is T.J. Miller, for that matter, and the first Silicon Valley Season 5 trailer isn’t afraid to acknowledge it. See for yourself in the new 2018 promo, which also promises a late March premiere date.

Even as Rotten Tomatoes continues to highlight divisions between audiences and critics, some of the best TV nonetheless gets its due. A full seventy-nine series managed to keep a “Certified Fresh” rating in 2017, and just ten took home the coveted perfect score. Did your favorite make the list?

Disturbing allegations have surfaced against former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller. An extensive new report details multiple incidents of violence and sexual assault from the comedian’s college days, some of which Miller has reportedly even joked about with his comic peers.

Game of Thrones’ leak of Season 7’s “The Spoils of War” turned out an international error rather than consequence of the network’s recent hack, but the group responsible has designs of their own. Another round of leaks reportedly reveals detailed descriptions of Thrones’ “Eastwatch,” as well as multiple documents from a top executive’s email.

It’s a brave new world for the 2017 Emmy awards with Game of Thrones and others sitting this year out. The big announcement is finally here, as presented by Veep star Anna Chlumsky and Criminal Minds veteran Shemar Moore, so let’s find out what we’re all angry about/celebrating this year at the Emmys!

We’ve known for some time that Silicon Valley star and comedian T.J. Miller would be leaving the series behind, as well his esoteric explanations for doing so. Now that the Season 4 finale has come to pass, Miller lets loose on a wide variety of revealing critiques, cementing “I will never be on Silicon Valley again.”

In no small amount of irony, Silicon Valley’s “The Patent Troll” may itself have infringed on intellectual property. A filmmaker behind 2015 patent troll drama The Trolls has accused the HBO comedy of stealing his ideas for a recent episode.

We don’t see terribly much turnover in the world of prestige comedy, and T.J. Miller’s exit from HBO’s Silicon Valley certainly caught fans by surprise. The comedian now speaks out on why Season 5 will leave Erlich Bachman behind, adding “It’s a funny joke for him to then never be back on the show.”

It was only a few short hours ago we learned that HBO’s Silicon Valley would return for Season 5, but Pied Piper will apparently be missing some key components. T.J. Miller has agreed to a mutual exit from the Mike Judge comedy, and won’t return for Season 5.
