Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber will "probably" keep the Super Pumped title for future seasons
-
The reason Super Pumped has its title is because the phrase is one of Uber co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick's 14 core values. So the phrase won't have a connection to Season 2, which will focus on Facebook. “I think when we first pitched this idea to Showtime, we said, ‘We want to do an anthology series. Super Pumped is the first season, we’ll probably just change the sentence after Super Pumped in each subsequent season,'” co-creator Brian Koppelman said at the TV press tour. “We might have been wrong to, but that’s just the way we approached it.”
