BILLIONS Creators Set to Develop a Limited Series at Showtime Called THE BATTLE FOR UBER

Brian Koppelman and David Levien, the creators and showrunners of the hit Showtime series Billions, are heading up another series project at the cabler called The Battle For Uber. The limited series will be an adaptation of the novel by Mike Isaac entitled, Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber. Variety provides the following description of the true story:

Pivoting on Travis Kalanick, Uber’s former CEO who was ultimately ousted in a boardroom coup, the limited series will depict the story of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley.

Showtime’s co-president of entertainment, Jana Winograde, gave the following statement regarding the story the limited series will tell:

“The story of Uber is rich in plot twists, one-of-a-kind personalities and important implications for corporate America. It is a case study of ingenuity and insanity, and there are no writers better suited than Brian and David to explore this business and the people who drive it, literally and metaphorically.”

This sounds pretty interesting. I enjoy the historical stories that were quietly happening behind the scenes. I think this will end up being a good series. Does this sound like a show you’d want to check out?
