Super Pumped Show Casts Uma Thurman as Arianna Huffington

Uma Thurman is cast as Arianna Huffington in the show Super Pumped. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kyle Chandler were previously announced to be joining the cast of the Showtime series, an anthology show that each season will tackle a different memorable business world story.

Season 1 of Super Pumped will kick off the anthology format by focusing on the rise of Uber, with Gordon-Levitt portraying the company’s CEO Travis Kalanick and Chandler playing his mentor Bill Gurley. As reported by Variety, Thurman has now joined the mix as Huffington, the Huff Post founder who also served as a board member of Uber. Elisabeth Shue, Kerry Bishé, Jon Bass, Bridget Gao Hollitt, and Babak Tafti are also onboard for the show.

Thurman’s prior TV credits include the miniseries Hysterical Blindness (for which she received a Golden Globe nomination), the Steven Spielberg-produced Smash, NBC’s The Slap, Bravo’s The Imposters and most recently Netflix’s Chambers. Of course Thurman is much more noted for her movie work, including her sometimes tumultuous collaborations with Quentin Tarantino. Infamously, Thurman also appeared both as Poison Ivy in the much maligned Batman & Robin and as Emma Peel in the critically panned The Avengers. Her most recent cinematic appearance came opposite Robert De Niro in the comedy The War With Grandpa.

The synopsis for Super Pumped reads as follows: “A roller-coaster ride of one of Silicon Valley’s most successful and most destructive companies, Uber, from the perspective of the company’s CEO Travis Kalanick, who is ultimately ousted in a boardroom coup after tense internal and external battles that ripple with unpredictable consequences.”
