Pied Piper finally has enough funding for proper offices and new employees, and to bring its peer-to-peer internet to the world – but leveling up introduces a whole new class of obstacles. While Richard struggles to lead a larger team and play with the big dogs, the rest of the team adjusts to new staff, new digs and new anxieties. Meanwhile, Hooli rival Gavin Belson has returned to power, but finds the threat of Pied Piper, and its boldness, hard to shake.

With Richard unexpectedly ousted as CEO, Season 3 picks up with him offered a diminished role of CTO and the rest of his team facing the question of just how far their loyalty extends. Now under a new CEO who is hell-bent on transforming everything from Pied Piper's offices to its business agenda, the guys must find a way to triumph in the war of Art vs. Commerce. Meanwhile, as Gavin Belson works to rehabilitate Hooli's image following his blunders, Big Head finds himself in a new partnership.

After taking the tech world by storm with their debut at TechCrunch Disrupt last season, Richard and his Pied Piper team look ahead to a big future--one that's immediately soured by legal woes and petty revenge plans from Hooli overlord Gavin Belson. This season, Monica finds herself torn between her allegiance to Richard and her job working under a new head honcho. Meanwhile, the presence of Richard's departed longtime pal Big Head looms large, as Gavin decides to use him to his fullest potential.
