‘Silicon Valley’ Season 4 Premiere: What Time & Channel Is It on Tonight?

Tonight is the season 4 premiere of Silicon Valley on HBO, and things are about to change for Pied Piper. In the trailer above, we see Richard approach his friends to tell them he wants to quit, only to learn that they were about to oust him. So, instead of having Pied Piper compete against another company, this season will revolve around Richard’s attempt to use his compression technology for its best possible purpose.

In a recent interview with EW, executive producer Alec Berg dished, “The arc of the season involves Richard’s discovery of what he believes to be the ideal use of his compression technology and his efforts to pursue that in the face of internal and external struggle. Also, something burns down, and someone gets needles stuck in their face.”

Richard’s not totally on board with Pied Piper becoming a video chat franchise, and thinks his algorithms could be put be put to better use. The guys, however, don’t really care about what he thinks are the best use of his algorithms. Berg says, “There’s tension because the video chat looks like it could be the big break and the financial windfall they’ve been looking for, but Richard feels like he’s a concert pianist and he’s playing 12-bar blues.”
