HBO ‘Silicon Valley’: Pied Piper Gets A Real Website As Show Gets Picked Up For Second Season, ‘Veep’ And ‘Game Of Thrones’ Renewed With Solid Viewers

Tags

HBO has renewed several hit shows on Monday.

Reuters has reported that Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" has already been renewed for a second season. Only three episodes of the first season have aired so far.

The show has been receiving praise from critics as well as Silicon Valley executives due to its authentic portrayal of the Silicon Valley culture that has yet to be explored in television.

Judge, the creator of "Beavis and Butthead," is trying to make "Silicon Valley" as real as possible.

The Wire reports that the fake startup, which the show revolves around, Pied Piper, recently got a real website promoting the company.

The website is reportedly a mix of tech-lingo and inside jokes that fans have been enjoying from the show.

The About section of the website reportedly says, "Pied Piper is a multi-platform technology based on a proprietary universal compression algorithm that has consistently fielded high Weisman Scores that are not merely competitive, but approach the theoretical limit of lossless compression."

The Pied Piper website also jokingly emphasizes that the start-up has no association with Pied Piper Irrigation. Spoiler alert: this is a major plot point in the third episode of the show.

As good news surrounds "Silicon Valley," other HBO viewers will be happy to know that "Game of Thrones" and "Veep" have also been picked up for more seasons.

HBO said on Monday that it would be renewing "Veep" for a fourth season.

It was expected that "Games of Thrones" would be picked up for season five. The premiere of season four of the ever-popular show brought in an average of 6.6 million viewers.

This is reportedly the largest HBO audience since the 2007 finale of "The Sopranos."
