The hit HBO comedy series 鈥淪ilicon Valley鈥� will soon return for a second season.

鈥淪ilicon鈥� centers on a programmer (Thomas Middleditch) and his team who are trying to make their music app successful. It was co-created by Mike Judge of 鈥淥ffice Space鈥� and 鈥淓xtract,鈥� as well as John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, both of whom wrote such projects as episodes of 鈥淜ing of the Hill鈥� and the movies 鈥淩ole Models鈥� and 鈥淏lades of Glory.鈥澛�

鈥淪ilicon鈥� co-stars T.J. Miller, Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani, and Zach Woods.聽

The first season of the show was very well-received by critics, with Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times calling the show 鈥済reat鈥� Sturdy structural models give the show a grounding in which the shifting relations among characters 鈥� money changes everything 鈥� profitably flourish. The cast members 鈥� mention should be made of Zach Woods as a business advisor 鈥� have presence but do not push the jokes. 鈥楽ilicon Valley鈥� is a comedy, certainly, and a very funny one, but it doesn't spend all its time reminding you of the fact."聽

In an interview with GQ, Judge said of the second season, 鈥淲e look at what happens after your successful first round investment and your company becomes successful. Now [protagonist] Richard and [app] Pied Piper, they are the belle of the ball, and everybody wants a piece of them. It's what happens when you get to Series A funding and you're either going to be the market standard that goes down in history or you're going to be forgotten鈥� I think it does get weirder.鈥�

Meanwhile, 鈥淪ilicon鈥� star Miller said of the appeal of the show in an interview with Collider, 鈥淓verybody knows somebody in start ups, and they鈥檙e doing satire that is effective. It is an excellent and real reflection of what鈥檚 wrong with that tech culture and that tech world."聽

The new season of 鈥淪ilicon鈥� debuts on April 12.
