It’s not uncommon for networks to promote new shows by releasing full episodes on YouTube, but AMC is doing something a little different for its Silicon Valley-focused comedy “The Audacity.”
The show’s premiere can be seen on TikTok starting Sunday morning. Divided into 21 parts according to deadlines, each part lasts approximately 3 minutes. The segments are numbered so users can watch the entire premiere if they choose.
This could be a smart way to spread the word among younger viewers about the show, which AMC’s chief marketing officer described as the network’s biggest launch of the year. Or maybe it’s just a strange attempt to recreate Quibi.
Created by Jonathan Glatzer and starring Billy Magnussen and Sarah Goldberg, “The Audacity” doesn’t depict real companies or executives, but it aims to provide a darkly comedic look at the many problems caused by today’s technology.
If you don’t want to watch the three-minute segment, you can watch the full premiere on AMC and its streaming service AMC+. It will also be streamed simultaneously on Samsung’s free service, Samsung TV Plus.
