Created by the man behind cult classics like Office Space, Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill, Mike Judge’s new HBO series was inspired by his own experiences working as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late 1980s.

According to Re/code , the show will follow introverted, social misfits living in the “Hacker Hostel,” a “startup incubator” owned by a dot-com millionaire in Silicon Valley as they discover and develop a valuable search algorithm for a website.

The show will run an eight-episode season starting on April 6.

Check out the teaser trailer from Re/code below:
