As a dedicated follower and ardent admirer of quality comedy series, I can confidently say that the recent Emmy win by Hacks for Outstanding Comedy Series was nothing short of a delightful surprise. Having followed this show since its inception, I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when it bested The Bear – a series that had been dominating the comedy awards scene for quite some time.


Only a few days have passed since Hacks’ unexpected victory for Outstanding Comedy Series, outshining FX’s The Bear, and now the show creators are hinting at fresh information regarding Season 4.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that the hilarious Max comedy series has made quite an impact, earning an impressive 16 Primetime Emmy nominations! Among these nods, we took home three prestigious awards. The talented trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky won for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. The remarkable Jean Smart was honored with the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series award, and to top it all off, we were shocked and delighted when our show took home the Outstanding Comedy Series trophy! What an incredible achievement for this outstanding series.

As a devoted admirer, I gleefully share that Aniello, Downs, and Statsky graced the Emmys press room after securing their victory, and during this momentous occasion, Aniello tantalizingly hinted at some intriguing Season 4 details to The Wrap.

Aniello stated, “I believe what I can hint at, within legal limits, is that we resume approximately 20 minutes later from where we last were.

In a surprising turn of events, the Season 3 conclusion saw Deborah Vance (Wise), who had longed for it since the series began, ultimately securing her own late-night talk show in the end.

Yet, surprisingly, she rejected Ava (Hannah Einbinder) who was promised the lead writing position for the show, refusing to allow her to take up that role.

Instead of directly saying it, Ava counters Deborah’s actions by hinting at a potential secret. She subtly suggests that she could reveal information about Deborah having an affair with TV executive Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn), which led to Deborah getting her new show.

Aniello mentioned about the primary figures as we approach Season 4, ‘There’s still a significant amount of stress lingering, and we have plenty more repercussions to delve into.’

The anticipated commencement of work for Season 4 is scheduled for this month’s end, aiming for a release in May 2025.

As a lifestyle expert, I must say, it was quite impressive to see FX’s The Bear sweep 11 comedy awards this year, even surpassing its own record of 10 Emmys. However, in an unexpected turn of events, it wasn’t crowned with the Outstanding Comedy Series award. Instead, Hacks managed to steal the show, leaving everyone in awe as it outshone The Bear in this particular category.

As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but echo the astonishment shared by the showrunners. In a heart-pounding moment during the Emmys press room on Sunday, Statsky confided that we were all left reeling in shock!

‘We were truly really surprised. We are blown away by this,’ Statsky added in the press room. 

For years, the Television Academy has treated us warmly… However, until now, we hadn’t been awarded for a comedy series, and the surprise was absolutely overwhelming! We are incredibly thankful.

For the past three seasons, Hacks has been recognized with a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. However, it was Ted Lasso from Apple TV Plus that took home the award in the first two seasons.

In 2024, three years following its last appearance, Hacks Season 3 made its comeback. Previously, The Bear had claimed the title of Outstanding Comedy Series in its debut season, an achievement that many anticipate it will replicate this year as well.

In response to being queried about the uniqueness of this particular season, Paul W. Downs, who is both a co-creator and star, mentioned that the writing crew aimed to ‘catch each other off guard’ during this season.

In the third series, there’s an opportunity for us to delve more profoundly into each character, and I believe this is clearly demonstrated in the acting skills shown by Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, as well as the rest of our cast, according to Downs.

He mentioned that the writers have been fortunate enough to possess a remarkable ensemble of actors whose performances elevate every line written.
