Joseph Gordon-Levitt has signed on to play Uber founder and former CEO, Travis Kalanick, in the first season of Showtime’s anthology series, Super Pumped<\/em><\/strong>. The Emmy Award-winning actor will also serve as a producer on the drama, alongside Billions<\/em> <\/strong>creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien, as well as Quantico<\/em><\/strong> producer, Beth Schacter.<\/p>\n

Super Pumped<\/em><\/strong>‘s first season will chronicle the ride share company’s rise in Silicon Valley. It will also highlight the subsequent turmoil amongst its executives, and Kalanick’s eventual exit as the CEO amid allegations of sexual harassment and a toxic work environment.<\/p>\n

The show’s initial installment will be based on author Mike Isaac’s bestselling 2019 book of the same name, Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber. <\/em>The writer collected research for the book by conducting hundreds of interviews with current and former employees from the company, as well as previously unpublished documents<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Showtime first began developing the concept for Super Pumped\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>in 2019, in conjunction with the release of Isaac’s book. The network initially envisioned the project as a limited series, before deciding to include it as part of an anthology series. Each season of the show will explore a story that shocked the business world and subsequently changed culture.<\/p>\n
