AMC has confirmed that the fourth and final season of acclaimed drama Halt and Catch Fire will be premiering Saturday, August 19th at 9:00 with a two-hour event. The series will be taking over for another drama that’s ending this year in Turn: Washington’s Spies, which will be airing its series finale August 12th.
“Six years ago, Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers shared their vision for Halt and Catch Fire and it has been a privilege to help them bring Halt to life, and to grow alongside them as we all dove into the project,” said Charlie Collier, President of AMC, AMC Studios and SundanceTV. “The Chrises, as we affectionately refer to them, are the personification of what so many of us love about our roles at AMC. They are smart, talented, creative people with whom we shared trust, crafting characters and stories that have engaged passionate fans. And, that the stories of Joe, Cameron, Gordon, Donna, and Bos also dove deeply into specific creator’s journeys only made the experience with Chris and Chris all the more personal and satisfying. I’m thrilled that fans will enjoy a proper conclusion to the Halt and Catch Fire story. Fans will appreciate that, as it turns out, that first pilot script was very much the thing that got us to the thing.”
From Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers, Halt and Catch Fire depicts an insider’s view at the personal computer revolution of the 1980’s, with the first two seasons taking place in the Silicon Prairie of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Season four finds the characters navigating the early days of the Internet while navigating difficulties in their personal and professional lives.
Halt and Catch Fire stars Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies), Mackenzie Davis (Smashed), Scoot McNairy (Non-Stop), Kerry Bishe (Sex and the City), and Toby Huss (Jerry Maguire). Veep star Anna Chlumsky will be recurring during the final season as ontologist Dr. Katie Herman.
