Showtime is set to drop a brand new anthology drama series called 'Super Pumped,' with the first installment titled 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber' premiering soon. Focusing on the rise and fall of Uber's co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick, the upcoming series is a dramatic telling of one of Silicon Valley's most successful and disruptive companies and will be from Kalanick's perspective. 

Created by Brian Koppelman (Billions) and David Levien and narrated by Quentin Tarantino, here's the official synopsis for 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber', "Based on the shocking true story, strap in for the meteoric rise and fall of Uber founder, Travis Kalanick. With a lift from venture capitalist Bill Gurley and board member Arianna Huffington, Kalanick takes a win-at-all-costs approach to forge the fledgling start-up into a multi-billion-dollar tech titan. But every surge comes at a price – and as his visionary drive spirals out of control, it threatens to be the downfall of it all." The Showtime series stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Uma Thurman, Kyle Chandler, Kerry Bishé, and Hank Azaria among others.
