Premise

[edit]

Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas–based stand-up comedian, needs to reinvent her aging act to avoid losing her residency at the Palmetto Casino. Ava Daniels is a young comedy writer who is unable to find work due to an insensitive tweet and her reputation for being self-centered and arrogant. When Ava's agent sends her to work as Deborah's new head writer, the two slowly bond as Ava pushes her new boss to take more risks and Deborah, in turn, helps Ava start to work through her personal problems.

Production

[edit]

In May 2020, HBO Max announced that it had picked up the series and that Jean Smart would star.[8] Additional casting was announced in February 2021.[9] Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, actors held table reads over Zoom, there were no cast parties during production, and stars Smart and Clemons-Hopkins did not even meet each other in person until minutes before the pilot was filmed.[10] In June 2021, HBO Max renewed the series for a second season,[2] and the cast added Laurie Metcalf, Martha Kelly, and Ming-Na Wen in recurring roles and Margaret Cho as a guest star.[11]

In June 2022, HBO Max renewed the series for a third season.[4] In September 2022, the showrunners revealed that a time jump would take place between the second and third season.[12] Production began for the third season in November 2022, but paused near the end of February 2023 for a few weeks before resuming in March due to Smart recovering from a "successful heart procedure".[13][14] Production shut down in May 2023 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[15] Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs were promoted to series regulars in the third season after having recurring roles since the first season.[16] In February 2024, it was announced Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Bucatinsky, George Wallace and Tony Goldwyn would guest star in the third season.[17] In March and April 2024, Aristotle Athari and J. Smith-Cameron were respectively announced to guest star in the third season.[18][19] In May 2024, Max renewed the series for a fourth season.[6]

[edit]

Hacks premiered on May 13, 2021, with a two-episode release.[20] Two episodes were released on a weekly basis through June 10, 2021, for the remainder of the 10-episode first season.[21] The second season premiered on May 12, 2022, with a two-episode release weekly.[3]
