The Emmy-winning comedy series stars Jean Smart as Deborah Vance, a legendary stand-up comedian who hires young comedy writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) to help reinvent her aging act. Per the Season 3 logline, Deborah “is riding high off the success of her stand-up special while Ava pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles.”
Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher McDonald, Christopher Lloyd, Tony Goldwyn, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo and Lorenza Izzo round out the Season 3 cast.
“We congratulate ‘Hacks” brilliant cast and crew, and our partners at Universal Television,” Sarah Aubrey, head of Max Original Programming, said in a statement. “‘Hacks’ is a masterfully crafted comedy delivering laughs and sharp insights about the vulnerability and joy of sharing a dream. The creative team behind this singular show is not only brilliant but also a joy to work with. We couldn’t be happier to give viewers another season with Deborah, Ava and the rest of the ‘Hacks’ family.”
“Hacks” is created by showrunners Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky. It is executive produced by Downs and Aniello via their Paulilu banner, Statsky via First Thought Productions, as well as Michael Schur via Fremulon, David Miner for 3 Arts Entertainment and Morgan Sackett.

“Hats off to Jen, Lucia and Paul for crafting a world as compelling and poignant as it is clever and funny,” said Universal Television president Erin Underhill. “We applaud our outstanding cast, who made it easy to fall in love with these flawed, hilarious and deeply human characters, and we thank everyone at Max for a terrific partnership over the first three seasons and counting. We can’t wait to deliver more ‘Hacks’ to fans around the world!”
