Max has renewed the multi-Emmy-winning comedy series Hacks for a fifth season ahead of the season four finale, debuting this Thursday, May 29, at 6:00 p.m. Pt/9:00 p.m. Et. Over the course of its run, the series has garnered 48 Emmy nominations, including a season three win for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Hacks has been a top-five series on Max (soon to be called HBO Max) since its season four debut in the U.S. and a top 10 series globally. Season four has been pacing as the series’ best season yet, achieving both domestic and global week-over-week growth every week so far this season.

“Yes! More! We congratulate Hacks’ singularly talented cast and crew and our great partners at Universal Television,” said Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming. The show’s studio is Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, added: “Like Deborah Vance herself,...

Jean Smart's Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder's Ava Daniels are getting another spin in the spotlight, as Hackshas officially been renewed for a fifth season at Max (soon to be HBO Max again). The critically acclaimed dark comedy series with 98% on Rotten Tomatoes is set to air its Season 4 finale on May 29, and now fans can rest easy knowing that the story will continue beyond the potential cliffhanger that the tenth and final episode will leave them on — with a new season likely to arrive in 2026, if the current release schedule is anything to go by.

Hacks follows the rollercoaster professional relationship between Vance, a veteran stand-up comedian, and Daniels, a down-on-her-luck comedy writer who works for her. The fourth season, which debuted on Max on Apr. 10, tossed the odd-couple pairing into another messy situation, picking up after the shock events of Season 3 when Daniels blackmailed her boss...

Hacks is entering the record books at Max.

The streamer has renewed the series for a fifth season, which will make Hacks the longest-running live-action show in Max’s (admittedly not very long) history. Series creators and showrunnners Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky announced the renewal Tuesday evening at an Emmy FYC screening in Los Angeles.

The pickup for the Emmy-winning comedy from Universal Television comes two days before its fourth season finale. The current season has seen Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) realize her dream of hosting a late-night talk show — though with more strings attached than she would like — with Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) as her head writer.

Hacks premiered in May 2021, when the streaming service where it runs was known as HBO Max. It has continued since the platform changed its name to Max in April 2023 — and with the renewal, season five will stream on...

Max is doubling down on Deborah Vance. The streamer renewed its Emmy-winning comedy “Hacks” for a fifth season on Tuesday ahead of its Season 4 finale.

The comedy’s creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky learned of the renewal news last week.

“We’re thrilled to be able to make a fifth season of a comedy,” Downs told TheWrap in an interview that also included Aniello and Statsky. “It is a very rare thing now, which we wish weren’t the case. But we don’t take for granted how fortunate we are to get to do it. We were really excited because we’ve always known where we want the story to conclude, and so to be able to continue to build towards that is so satisfying.”

It’s no surprise that Max renewed “Hacks.” So far, the comedy has been nominated for 48 Primetime Emmys. The series...

The Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award-winning series is created and showrun by Emmy winners Paul W. Downs (who also stars), Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky. “Hacks” is executive produced by Downs and Aniello via their Paulilu banner, and Statsky via First Thought Productions, as well as Emmy winners Michael Schur via Fremulon, David Miner for 3 Arts Entertainment, Morgan Sackett, and Joe Mande. The studio is Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

In addition to Smart, Einbinder, and Downs, the series stars Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, and Rose Abdoo, plus Dan Bucatinsky, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn,...

The reigning queens of comedy are finally back with a new season full of biting one-liners, unexpected twists, and a feud so good Ryan Murphy could turn it into a limited series.

It's time to get ready for the Hacks season 4 premiere on Thursday April 10, which arrives with two episodes to kick off the season.

When we last left Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) in the season 3 finale, Ava was expertly maneuvering her checkmate on Deborah in order to score the head writer position on her new late night show. Deborah had otherwise promised Ava the job then walked back on the offer, but Ava held a particular piece of scandalous blackmail over her head to put her boss in a position where she couldn't say no again.

Shane will play the role of Social Media Girlie in the hit comedy’s fourth season, which will premiere on Max on April 10 at 9 p.m. Et. Per the official logline of the fourth season, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Emmy, Critics Choice Awards, and Screen Actors Guild awards winner Jean Smart leads the cast as Deborah Vance, and Critics Choice Award winner Hannah Einbinder stars as Ava.

“Hacks” is back.

Max has released the trailer and key art for the fourth season of “Hacks,” which debuts with a dual episode premiere on April 10 at 6 p.m. Pt.

The official logline for Season 4 reads, “Tensions rise as Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late-night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

In the trailer, we see Deborah and Ava walk out of a conference room, tensions boiling between them. “Well, aren’t you a big brave girl?” Deborah sneers. “I guess I am. It’s for the best,” Ava quips back. Deborah looks Ava directly in the eyes before calmly responding, “We’ll see.”

Joining Einbinder and Smart for Season 4 are Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, Dan Bucatinsky, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, Lauren Weedman, Christopher McDonald, Poppy Liu, Lorenza Izzo, Johnny Sibilly,...

The fourth season of Hacks will join the crowded spring TV calendar as a number of shows set dates to get in under the wire of Emmy eligibility.

The Max comedy, which is the defending best comedy winner at the Emmys, will premiere April 10. The 10-episode season will follow Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) as they work to get their late-night show up and running amid rising tensions between the two of them. Max also released a trailer for the coming season, which is below.

In order to make the full season Emmy-eligible, Hacks will have a somewhat odd release schedule: Two episodes will stream on April 10, followed by one a week for four weeks afterward. Episodes seven and eight will both premiere on May 15, with the final two installments of the season coming May 22 and May 29. (The Emmy eligibility deadline for this year’s awards is May 31.)

Along with Smart and Einbinder,...

And just like that, Season 4 of “Hacks” is already here.

After the third season of the hit Max Original comedy series debuted as a top Emmy contender for this year’s ceremony, the fourth installment is underway — and this time, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is determined to make it big again on late night TV. Years after Deborah’s short-lived late night talk show made history, she is willing to risk it all to return to the small screen in a coveted time slot.

The official logline reads: “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

The Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award-winning show also stars three-time Emmy winner Paul W. Downs, SAG Award nominee Megan Stalter, Emmy nominee Carl Clemons-Hopkins, SAG Award nominee Mark Indelicato, and SAG Award nominee Rose Abdoo. The cast includes Dan Bucatinsky,...

“Hacks” Season 4 is picking up right where Season 3 left off: with Deborah and Ava on the edge of war. The latest installment of the Emmy-winning Max original comedy will premiere with its first two episodes on April 10.

“Well aren’t you a big, brave girl,” Deborah (Jean Smart) menacingly says in the new trailer out Tuesday, rounding on her prodigy.

“I guess I am,” Ava (Hannah Einbinder) replies. “It’s for the best.”

The clip then cuts between several high-energy scenes, from Deborah dancing in a club to both Deborah and Ava driving literal race cars. Kaitlin Olson’s very pregnant DJ can even be seen briefly weightlifting.

“Blackmail on day one? Not good!” Deborah and Ava’s manager Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) yells. “She’s been doing this for 50 years. You’re not going to beat her at her own game. Nobody beats Deborah.” Maybe, not yet.

If you need a refresher,...

Oh, it’s on between Deborah and Ava.

In the trailer for season 4 of Hacks, which returns April 10 to Max, Jean Smart’s alter-ego mutters sarcastically “well, aren’t you a big brave girl” now that her former writer (Hannah Einbinder) is now running Deborah’s new late-night talk show.

But the days of hugs and kisses are gone; the two are at each other’s throats, with Deborah watching Ava hit the ground in a failed trust fall, and the two going mano e mano in race cars.

The 10-episode season of the Emmy-winning comedy debuts with two episodes, then one episode a week for four weeks. Episodes seven and eight debut together on May 15, followed by episode nine on May 22. The season finale debuts on May 29.

For the new season, Hacks has lured Hacks Julianne Nicholson, Michaela Watkins, Bresha Webb, Robby Hoffman, and Eric Balfour for guest starring roles.

Julianne Nicholson won’t be off our TV screens for too long.

The Paradise standout is one of 13 guest stars set to appear in Season 4 of Max’s Emmy Award-winning comedy Hacks, the streamer announced Tuesday. The list also includes Michaela Watkins (Casual), Bresha Webb (Run the World), Robby Hoffman (Verified), Eric Balfour (The Offer), Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Gavin Matts (Ramy), Grover Whitmore III (The African Desperate), Holmes (Welcome to Flatch), Jasmine Ashanti (Upload), Katy Sullivan (Dexter: New Blood), Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary) and Sandy Honig (Three Busy Debras).

“Hacks” has added a handful of guest stars for its upcoming fourth season, including Julianne Nicholson and Michaela Watkins.

Bresha Webb, Robby Hoffman and Eric Balfour also join Season 4 of Max’s Emmy-winning comedy series.

“Hacks” stars Jean Smart as Deborah Vance, a veteran comedian who hires millennial writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) to help revitalize her career. At the end of Season 3, Deborah finally achieves the dream that had long ago been taken from her: to become the first woman to host a show on late night. In Season 4, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Also joining the cast are Danny Jolles, Gavin Matts, Grover Whitmore, III, Holmes, Jasmine Ashanti, Katy Sullivan, Matt Oberg and Sandy Honig, who will play writers on Deborah’s new late night show. Max promises “exciting surprise cameos” as well.

Hacks is beefing up the ranks before its imminent return. The Emmy-winning Max comedy announced Tuesday the addition of 13 new guest stars planned for the fourth season — including those populating the writers room on Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) new late-night talk show.

Toplining the new faces are Julianne Nicholson, Michaela Watkins, Bresha Webb, Robby Hoffman and Eric Balfour, while Danny Jolles, Gavin Matts, Grover Whitmore, III, Holmes, Jasmine Ashanti, Katy Sullivan, Matt Oberg and Sandy Honig will guest as the Deborah’s new writers — all of whom will presumably report to Hannah Einbinder’s Ava.

In the season three finale, Ava blackmailed Deborah into giving her the head writer gig on her new show. The season four logline doesn’t give much, saying only “tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.” Tensions indeed…

Popular Voice Actor Rhiannon Moushall, who has voiced for Rise of the Ronin, called out former Blizzard Entertainment Team Lead for World of Warcraft, Mark Kern, for posting an offensive post on X.

Run the World has stopped running. Starz has cancelled the female-led comedy series after two seasons and 16 episodes, per Variety.

Starring Amber Stevens West, Bresha Webb, Corbin Reid, Stephen Bishop, Tosin Morohunfola, Erika Alexander, Nick Sagar, Jay Walker, and Tonya Pinkins, the Starz series follows four female best friends as they live in Harlem, lean on each other, and deal with the ups and downs of their personal and professional lives.

Starz has decided to cancel its original shows Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, along with the yet-to-premiere series The Venery of Samantha Bird. Heels is a drama about two wrestling brothers dealing with their complicated relationship after their father's death. Run the World is a comedy following a group of women in Harlem, while Blindspotting is a spinoff/sequel to the 2018 film and focuses on a man's partner after his imprisonment.

Despite the apparent end of the writers strike, which will launch a long list of productions that were halted, Starz has decided to cancel some of its original shows. Including the popular drama starring Stephen Amell, Heels. Just months after the premiere of the second seasons of Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, Starz has decided not to continue with any of the series for a third installment. Variety confirms that the network has officially canceled all three shows,...

The premium cable movie channel Starz has reportedly canceled three of their shows plus one upcoming project, according to Deadline. Starz will no longer be continuing the run of the wrestling drama Heels, as well as Run the World and Blindspotting. In addition, the channel has also decided not to proceed with The Venery of Samantha Bird. Heels, Run the World and Blindspotting have all completed two seasons, but The Venery of Samantha Bird was in the middle of production when the show paused for the strikes. Two episodes were left to film in the season.

Heels was produced by Lionsgate and Paramount Network Television and the plot, per Deadline, “revolves around the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals (Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig) war...

There are some big changes at Starz, and it's bad news for four shows.

Variety reported Monday evening that the premium cabler has canceled Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting and is scrapping The Venery of Samantha Bird ahead of its premiere.

Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting lasted for two seasons on the premium cabler, but it seems that the trio didn't have enough interest to sustain additional seasons.

The highest profile of the three shows was Heels, which starred Stephen Amell as Jack Spade, a man who inherited the league from his father.

However, he struggled to keep things running well, leading to plenty of drama across the two seasons.

The cast also included Alexander Ludwig, Chris Bauer, Mary McCormack, Kelli Berglund, Allen Maldonado, and Trey Tucker.

Rounding out the cast were Robby Ramos, Alice Barrett Mitchell, Roxton Garcia, David James Elliott, Joel Murray, and Cm Punk.
