Hacks has been renewed for a fifth season at Max.

On their Instagram page before the final episode of season four airs tomorrow, the streaming platform shared news about it. They posted clips featuring the main actors, Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, expressing their reactions to this announcement.

Smart, the star of the series, expressed his excitement about “Hacks” being officially renewed for a fifth season. He plays comedian Deborah Vance in the show.

I’m overjoyed! A big round of applause to my fellow actors, everyone involved in the production, and to all our Hacks fans – we can’t wait for you to rejoin us for season five! Let’s celebrate!

Hannah Einbinder, portraying Ava Daniels, declared: “It’s confirmed! We’re returning for season five, dear! Rest assured, I’ll keep advocating for the lesbian storyline.

In the caption, Max teased that Deborah Vance “will be back with a vengeance“.

The story revolves around the character of Deborah, an acclaimed comedian known for her wit, who brings on board a struggling, jobless writer named Ava Daniels to breathe new life into her act. Fearing she might lose her coveted casino residency, Deborah seeks fresh ideas from Ava.

Throughout its broadcast, the show has received widespread praise from critics. Remarkably, seasons one and two have each achieved a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, seasons three and four have maintained impressive scores of 98% and 97%.

The program has been labeled as “completely captivating,” “laugh-out-loud funny,” and “boundary-pushing,” drawing special recognition for the acting skills of Smart and Einbinder.

In the fourth season, frictions intensify between Deborah and Ava as they both work tirelessly to launch Deborah’s fresh late-night program.

This season has brought on several fresh actors to its roster, such as Julianne Nicholson from ‘Boardwalk Empire’, Michaela Watkins who starred in ‘The Dropout’, Eric Balfour known for his role in ‘Six Feet Under’, Bresha Webb and Robby Hoffman.
