If you've ever wished you could have a TV series that tells you exactly how the companies you use every day came to be, we've got good news for you: It exists, it's called Super Pumped, and it's already been renewed for a second season.

This renewal is especially impressive because the first season of Super Pumped hasn't even aired yet: If it had, one might have assumed that Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber - which dives into the events that led Uber to become the massive transportation giant it is today - was a one-off documentary. But Showtime has already decided that they have faith in the project, so much so that they have turned it into an anthology series. The second season will be titled Super Pumped: Sheryl & Mark.

The Mark that subtitle referrs to is none other than Mark Zuckerberg, the infamous founder and CEO of Facebook. The Sheryl, however, is a little more obscure: She's Sheryl Sandberg, the former Google employee that Zuckerberg decided to make his COO upon meeting her in 2008. She's also part of the reason Facebook is so huge now - she apparently took over "the parts of the CEO job that he found boring," and turned them both into an unstoppable powerhouse. (You'll likely remember that 2009 is around when Facebook really started blowing up.)

The book this season will be based on also hasn't been released yet: It's an upcoming deep dive into the company by journalist Mike Isaac. The first season was also based on a book by Isaac, of the same name as the series.

We don't yet know who will play Zuckerberg or Sandberg in the new season of Super Pumped. We do, however, know that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick will be played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the first season.

Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber premieres on Showtime February 27 at 10 PM ET.
