HBO Max’s Hacks first premiered in May 2021 and has quickly made a name for itself. The comedy-drama has won multiple Primetime Emmy awards, including those for Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Directing, and Smart, Outstanding Lead Actress. This is in addition to a Golden Globe for the Best Television Series- Musical or Comedy.
Following two successful seasons, the Jean Smart starrer was renewed for a third season back in June 2022, which is now set to release on May 2. Boasting a total of 9 episodes, season 3 also breaks the norm when it comes to the overall number. Season 1 had 10, while season 2 only consisted of 8, which brings us to the new release.
The series revolves around an aging comic artist called Deborah Vance, who attempts to reinvent her act and refind success to save her house at the popular Palmetto Casino. The latest iteration of Hacks sees the return of all major characters, with a range of new faces confirmed to appear.
