COMDEX SPARKS TALK OF THE FUTURE AND DONNA REVEALS HER BIG IDEA ON THE TWO HOUR BACK-TO-BACK FINALE EPISODES OF "HALT AND CATCH FIRE" AIRING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11TH AT 9:00 P.M. ET/PT

The season three finale of the critically acclaimed drama, "Halt and Catch Fire" airs Tuesday, October 11th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT with back-to-back episodes. On the penultimate episode, "NIM," written by Mark Lafferty and directed by Christopher Cantwell, Donna envisions a new future for the Internet and attempts to bring everyone together at Comdex. Gordon takes on a strong-willed Joanie. On the finale episode, "NeXT," written by Christopher Cantwell and Chris Rogers and directed by Phil Abraham, Donna's vision creates a spirited discussion over the next big thing, and how to achieve it. The end result may not make everyone happy.

The current season of "Halt and Catch Fire" picked up in March 1986 as Mutiny left Texas for the big leagues of Silicon Valley. Founders Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) and Donna Clark (Kerry Bishé) search for the idea that will launch Mutiny as a player, but new collaborators test their partnership. Gordon (Scoot McNairy) struggles to find a place within his wife's company as Joe McMillan (Lee Pace) builds upon his empire, reinventing himself with a bold play that shocks the Valley and sends him back into the lives of his old partners. In addition to Pace, McNairy, Bishé, Davis and Toby Huss as John Bosworth, the third season features Annabeth Gish as Diane Gould, a seasoned Silicon Valley venture capitalist, and Manish Dayal as Ryan Ray, a talented and ambitious programmer, in recurring roles.

From AMC Studios, "Halt and Catch Fire" captures the rise of the PC era in the 1980s, focused on four main characters attempting to innovate against the changing backdrop of technology.

The series was created by showrunners Cantwell and Rogers and is executive produced by Cantwell, Rogers and Gran Via Productions' Mark Johnson ("Breaking Bad," "Rectify," Diner, Rain Man) and Melissa Bernstein ("Breaking Bad," "Rectify").
