Hacks has a premiere date for its third season. In addition to the returning cast, viewers will see Helen Hunt, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Hendricks, Dan Bucatinsky, George Wallace, and Tony Goldwyn join the Max dark comedy series in guest-starring roles.

Starring Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Jane Adams, Christopher McDonald, Kaitlin Olson, Paul W. Downs, Poppy Liu, Rose Abdoo, Mark Indelicato, Meg Stalter, Angela E. Gibbs, Luenell, Johnny Sibilly, Joe Mande, Ally Maki, and Lorenza Izzo, the Hacks series’ return was delayed in 2023 due to Smart having a heart procedure.

The dark comedy follows an aging comedienne and her friendship with her young writer. The two parted at the end of season two, and season three picks up a year later with Deborah Vance (Smart) riding high off the success of her standup special and Ava (Einbinder) pursuing new opportunities back in Los Angeles.

Hacks returns on May 2nd with a pair of episodes. The trailer for season three is below.
