Uma Thurman to Play HuffPost Founder Arianna Huffington on Showtime's Uber Series

Uma Thurman to Play HuffPost Founder Arianna Huffington on Showtime's Uber Series
Uma Thurman (Kill Bill") has signed on to star in Showtime's upcoming series "Super Pumped". Planned as an anthology, the series hails from Beth Schacter and "Billions" creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Allen Coulter will direct and executive produce the first episode.

The first season is based on Mike Isaac's book "Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber". Pivoting on Uber CEO and co-founder Travis Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his sometimes tumultuous relationship with his mentor Bill Gurley (Kyle Chandler), the series will depict the roller-coaster ride of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley. The series will focus on a different major business world story each season.

Thurman will star as Arianna Huffington, a business woman and co-founder of The Huffington Post who was an Uber board member. The cast of the series also includes Elisabeth Shue, Kerry Bishé, Jon Bass, Bridget Gao Hollitt, and Babak Tafti.
