Hacks has been renewed for a fifth season, continuing the journey of iconic comedian Deborah Vance, portrayed by Jean Smart, and her young writing counterpart Ava, played by Hannah Einbinder. The Emmy-winning series, known for its witty take on the comedy scene, has historically debuted in the spring, with previous seasons launching in April or May. Season 5 is anticipated to follow this trend, likely premiering in spring 2026.
While there have long been speculations about a five-season arc for the show, the recent renewal announcement did not confirm that this would be the final season. Given that announcements for concluding seasons typically indicate the end from the outset, fans may still hold out hope for a potential sixth season.
The main cast will return, including fan-favorites like Paul W. Downs, Megan Statler, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, and Rose Abdoo. Additionally, Season 5 is set to feature notable guest stars such as Dan Bucatinsky, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, Kaitlin Olson, Poppy Liu, and Christopher McDonald, promising exciting new dynamics and interactions.
With its blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling, Hacks continues to capture its audience’s attention and heart, making the anticipation for the upcoming season even more thrilling.
Those interested can catch up on previous seasons of Hacks, which are available for streaming on Max.
