BlackBerry, the buzzy and critically acclaimed feature film released in the U.S. by IFC Films last spring is coming to television as a three-part limited series, premiering on AMC and AMC+ on November 13. The special television event includes 16 minutes of never-before-seen footage. On AMC, BlackBerry will air in three parts on November 13, 14 and 15. All three episodes will be available on AMC+ on November 13.

“We are thrilled to bring BlackBerry to AMC and AMC+ in the form of this three-part limited series for television, featuring extended scenes and new footage sure to delight the fans of this lively and frequently hilarious true-life drama,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “This is a truly entertaining story with great performances, whether you are old enough to have owned one of these once ubiquitous devices or not.”

I had a friend that worked at Blackberry, high enough to interact with the head honchos weekly. Some of the stories are unbelievable. Including 'no one needs a good camera, this is a business tool', 'no one wants a phone without a keyboard'. The engineers didn't understand the business.

Saw the first show, looks like crappy Canadian content from the 80’s…

I saw it recently.
Great movie and interesting story from rise to tech stardom and quick collapse to nothing-berry.

I actually went to the same University as the RIM guys (UofW), they graduated a few years before me and they were rockstars in Waterloo, Ontario for quite a few years.
