A decade after The O.C. ended its four-season run on Fox, the series’ executive producer McG is back at the network with another soapy drama about young people in an affluent area on the Southern California Coast. Silicon Beach, from McG, The Vampire Diaries co-executive producer Brian Young and 20th Century Fox TV, has received a script commitment plus penalty from Fox.
Written by Young, Silicon Beach — named after the West Los Angeles area close to the Pacific Coast that is home to over 500 tech startup companies — centers around 26-year-old Maya Carter who lives at home with her family and is someone you’d never guess has the potential to change the world. Then again, you’re not billionaire Alex Silva, the amoral venture capitalist who plucks her from her modest life so she can do just that. Surrounded by unimaginable wealth and opportunity, Maya fights to make her mark and keep her soul in the cutthroat world of tech startups, and she does it all bathed in the warm glow of the California sun, steps from the clear blue waters of the Pacific, in the place where millennial ambitions are rewarded with overnight millions: Silicon Beach.
