TV Line:

Silicon Valley is going offline for a year. TVLine has learned exclusively that production on the HBO comedy’s sixth (and possibly final) season has been delayed until Summer 2019, a move that will likely keep the series off the air until 2020.

An HBO spokesperson confirmed the postponement, citing executive producer Alec Berg’s busy schedule as the reason. “As Alec is a showrunner on both Barry and Silicon Valley,“ the rep explained to TVLine, “the schedule was structured to allow Alec to wrap on Barry before starting work on Silicon Valley.“

Stands to reason!

By the by, I do think wrapping up Silicon Valley this season would be a good move - Pied Piper got to where we needed it to go, and unfortunately, truth is becoming stranger than fiction.
