‘Hacks’ is a comedy-drama series centered around stand-up comedian Deborah Vance and Ava, a young comedy writer. The former must take vital efforts to maintain her residency at the Palmetto Casino, whereas the latter is having difficulty finding work due to a contentious tweet she sent and her self-centered attitude. When Ava starts working as Deborah’s new head writer, their professional relationship quickly turns into friendship as Ava provides her the push she needs and Deborah assists Ava with her personal troubles. The comedy series, created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, premiered on HBO Max on May 13, 2021.

The series focuses on the relationship between a millennial and a baby boomer while retaining a comic and emotional tone throughout the story. This is one of the primary reasons why it has gained widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike throughout the course of its two seasons. As the curtain closes on the show’s sophomore season, fans are already wondering if there will be another installment. We have all the details you need about a possible third season!

Release Date for Hacks Season 3

Season 2 of ‘Hacks’ started on HBO Max on May 12, 2022, and concluded on June 2, 2022. The second season of the comedy-drama series consists of eight episodes, each lasting 30-36 minutes.

Here’s everything we know about the third installment of the show. As of currently, neither the show’s producers nor HBO Max have made any public announcements regarding the show’s renewal or cancellation. As a result, the show’s future is currently in doubt. However, the network is said to be waiting to see how the second season performs before making a judgment on the show’s future. HBO Max followed a similar strategy for the first season, only to renew it a month later, in June.

As proof of the show’s popularity, ‘Hacks’ received six Emmy nominations in September 2021, with their production team taking home three trophies – Outstanding Lead Actress, Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Writing. Thus, if we examine all of the aforementioned factors, the show is more likely to be recommissioned than canceled. So, assuming the series is greenlit by the end of June 2022, as it was last year, and the production crew returns to work soon after, season 3 of ‘Hacks’ will be released in May 2023.

Who could appear in Hacks Season 3?

If the show is renewed for a third season, the main cast lineup is expected to remain the same. Thus, we expect Jean Smart to reprise her part as Deborah Vance, the famed stand-up comic, and Hannah Einbinder to reprise her role as Ava Daniels, the comedy writer.

Carl Clemons-Hopkins (Marcus), Rose Abdoo (Josefina), Christopher McDonald (Marty Ghilain), Paul W. Downs (Jimmy LuSaque), Mark Indelicato (Damien), Kaitlin Olson (Deborah “DJ” Vance Jr.), and Jane Adams are among the other cast members who may reprise their roles (Nina). Furthermore, we cannot rule out the prospect of new characters being introduced. So, if that happens, we may expect to see some new faces in the upcoming season 3.

What is the plot of Hacks Season 3?

In season 2, Deborah and Ava deal with their own challenges, illustrating the difference between a boomer’s and a millennial’s existence. Deborah works on her new material and sees it through to completion while on the road. Ava’s personality, on the other hand, develops as she adjusts to a new way of life. Deborah struggles to connect with her audience as the season goes, whilst Ava has surprising success. In the season’s final episodes, Ava attempts to reconnect with her mother, and Deborah welcomes unexpected company.

Season 3 will most likely follow Ava and Deborah as they encounter new career and personal problems while supporting one another. We may witness Ava’s connection with her mother shift, either positively or badly. Deborah’s professional life is likewise set to change. Overall, there is a lot to look forward to if the program is recommissioned.
