National Geographic Channel has given a six-episode order to the scripted/documentary hybrid series “Valley of the Boom,” a chronicle of the 1990s tech boom and bust cycle in Silicon Valley.
Matthew Carnahan (“House of Lies”) created the series and will serve as director and showrunner. He’ll executive producer with Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington. “Boom” hails from STX Entertainment’s STXtv banner.
“The provocative world of Silicon Valley has long dominated headlines and captured the public’s imagination,” said Carolyn Bernstein, exec VP and head of global scripted programming for Nat Geo. “We cannot wait to tell this timely, wildly unpredictable and captivating story of the early days of the dotcom boom and bust.”
