Silicon Valley production delayed: Season 6 may not premiere until 2020
-
The HBO comedy is now scheduled to begin production on its sixth and "possibly final" season next summer, according to TVLine. Silicon Valley executive producer Alec Berg's work as executive producer of HBO's Barry is the cause of the delay. “As Alec is a showrunner on both Barry and Silicon Valley, the schedule was structured to allow Alec to wrap on Barry before starting work on Silicon Valley," said an HBO spokesperson. TVLine notes that the decision comes amid speculation that Season 6 could be the last for Silicon Valley, although an official decision has yet to be made. The production delay will take Silicon Valley out of the Emmy race next year for the first time after being nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series each of its past five seasons.
