Max has released the official trailer and key art for Hacks Season 4, which will debut on Thursday, April 10 at 6:00 p.m. Pt/9:00 p.m. Et. The ten-episode season debuts with two episodes, then one episode a week for four weeks.

Episodes seven and eight of the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award-winning comedy series debut together on May 15, followed by episode nine on May 22. The season finale debuts on May 29.

In Season 4 of the Max Original, tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.

The cast of the fourth season includes six-time Emmy winner and Tony Award nominee Jean Smart, three-time Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Hannah Einbinder, three-time Emmy winner Paul W. Downs, SAG Award nominee Megan Stalter, Emmy nominee Carl Clemons-Hopkins, SAG Award nominee Mark Indelicato, and SAG Award nominee Rose Abdoo.

The Hacks season four trailer is loaded with hilarious Deborah Vance and Ava clips. The minute-and-a-half trailer captures the dysfunctional relationship between the two and teases their on-and-off partnership won’t be any less tumultuous in the upcoming season.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning series premiered in May 2021. Season two debuted on May 12, 2022, followed by season three on May 2, 2024. Season four will arrive on April 10, 2025, at 6pm Pt/9pm Et with the release of the first two episodes. New episodes of the 10-episode season will arrive on Thursdays.

HBO’s very short season four logline reads, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late-night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Emmy, Critics Choice Awards, and Screen Actors Guild awards winner Jean Smart leads the cast as Deborah Vance, and Critics Choice Award winner Hannah Einbinder stars as Ava.

Hacks is back — and earlier than ever before. Season 4 of the Emmy-winning comedy will premiere with two episodes on April 10 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, Max announced Tuesday, along with a trailer.

The rest of the 10-episode season will roll out with a single episode on Thursdays for four weeks, then Episodes 7 and 8 on May 15, Episode 9 on May 22, and the season finale on May 29 — right before the May 31 Emmy eligibility deadline. That's a tweak from previous seasons when the show would debut in May and air double episodes every week.

Season 4 will pick up in the aftermath of Ava (Hannah Einbinder) blackmailing Deborah (Jean Smart) to get the head writer job at the latter's new late-night show in the Season 3 finale. "Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it," reads the logline.

“Hacks” is back.

Max has released the trailer and key art for the fourth season of “Hacks,” which debuts with a dual episode premiere on April 10 at 6 p.m. Pt.

The official logline for Season 4 reads, “Tensions rise as Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late-night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

In the trailer, we see Deborah and Ava walk out of a conference room, tensions boiling between them. “Well, aren’t you a big brave girl?” Deborah sneers. “I guess I am. It’s for the best,” Ava quips back. Deborah looks Ava directly in the eyes before calmly responding, “We’ll see.”

Joining Einbinder and Smart for Season 4 are Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, Dan Bucatinsky, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, Lauren Weedman, Christopher McDonald, Poppy Liu, Lorenza Izzo, Johnny Sibilly,...

The fourth season of Hacks will join the crowded spring TV calendar as a number of shows set dates to get in under the wire of Emmy eligibility.

The Max comedy, which is the defending best comedy winner at the Emmys, will premiere April 10. The 10-episode season will follow Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) as they work to get their late-night show up and running amid rising tensions between the two of them. Max also released a trailer for the coming season, which is below.

In order to make the full season Emmy-eligible, Hacks will have a somewhat odd release schedule: Two episodes will stream on April 10, followed by one a week for four weeks afterward. Episodes seven and eight will both premiere on May 15, with the final two installments of the season coming May 22 and May 29. (The Emmy eligibility deadline for this year’s awards is May 31.)

Along with Smart and Einbinder,...

And just like that, Season 4 of “Hacks” is already here.

After the third season of the hit Max Original comedy series debuted as a top Emmy contender for this year’s ceremony, the fourth installment is underway — and this time, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is determined to make it big again on late night TV. Years after Deborah’s short-lived late night talk show made history, she is willing to risk it all to return to the small screen in a coveted time slot.

The official logline reads: “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

The Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award-winning show also stars three-time Emmy winner Paul W. Downs, SAG Award nominee Megan Stalter, Emmy nominee Carl Clemons-Hopkins, SAG Award nominee Mark Indelicato, and SAG Award nominee Rose Abdoo. The cast includes Dan Bucatinsky,...

“Hacks” Season 4 is picking up right where Season 3 left off: with Deborah and Ava on the edge of war. The latest installment of the Emmy-winning Max original comedy will premiere with its first two episodes on April 10.

“Well aren’t you a big, brave girl,” Deborah (Jean Smart) menacingly says in the new trailer out Tuesday, rounding on her prodigy.

“I guess I am,” Ava (Hannah Einbinder) replies. “It’s for the best.”

The clip then cuts between several high-energy scenes, from Deborah dancing in a club to both Deborah and Ava driving literal race cars. Kaitlin Olson’s very pregnant DJ can even be seen briefly weightlifting.

“Blackmail on day one? Not good!” Deborah and Ava’s manager Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) yells. “She’s been doing this for 50 years. You’re not going to beat her at her own game. Nobody beats Deborah.” Maybe, not yet.

If you need a refresher,...

Julianne Nicholson won’t be off our TV screens for too long.

The Paradise standout is one of 13 guest stars set to appear in Season 4 of Max’s Emmy Award-winning comedy Hacks, the streamer announced Tuesday. The list also includes Michaela Watkins (Casual), Bresha Webb (Run the World), Robby Hoffman (Verified), Eric Balfour (The Offer), Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Gavin Matts (Ramy), Grover Whitmore III (The African Desperate), Holmes (Welcome to Flatch), Jasmine Ashanti (Upload), Katy Sullivan (Dexter: New Blood), Matt Oberg (Abbott Elementary) and Sandy Honig (Three Busy Debras).

“Hacks” is expanding its cast for Season 4. Julianne Nicholson, Michaela Watkins and 11 others have been added to the Max original as guest stars.

Little is known about the roles five of these guest stars will be playing. Nicholson is best known for her roles in “Paradise” and “I, Tonya.” As for Watkins, she previously starred in “Casual” and “Search Party.” They will be joined by other guest stars Bresha Webb (“Run the World”) and Eric Balfour as well as Robby Hoffman, who previously wrote for “The Chris Gethard Show” and “Workin’ Moms.”

As for the remaining six, they will guest star as writers on Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) new late night show. Those new cast members include Danny Jolles (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), Gavin Matts (“Slice of Life”), Grover Whitmore III (“The African Desperate”), Holmes (“Welcome to Flatch”), Jasmine Ashanti (“On My Block”), Katy Sullivan (“Dexter: New Blood”), Matt Oberg (“Sisters...

“Hacks” has added a handful of guest stars for its upcoming fourth season, including Julianne Nicholson and Michaela Watkins.

Bresha Webb, Robby Hoffman and Eric Balfour also join Season 4 of Max’s Emmy-winning comedy series.

“Hacks” stars Jean Smart as Deborah Vance, a veteran comedian who hires millennial writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) to help revitalize her career. At the end of Season 3, Deborah finally achieves the dream that had long ago been taken from her: to become the first woman to host a show on late night. In Season 4, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Also joining the cast are Danny Jolles, Gavin Matts, Grover Whitmore, III, Holmes, Jasmine Ashanti, Katy Sullivan, Matt Oberg and Sandy Honig, who will play writers on Deborah’s new late night show. Max promises “exciting surprise cameos” as well.

Hacks is beefing up the ranks before its imminent return. The Emmy-winning Max comedy announced Tuesday the addition of 13 new guest stars planned for the fourth season — including those populating the writers room on Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) new late-night talk show.

Toplining the new faces are Julianne Nicholson, Michaela Watkins, Bresha Webb, Robby Hoffman and Eric Balfour, while Danny Jolles, Gavin Matts, Grover Whitmore, III, Holmes, Jasmine Ashanti, Katy Sullivan, Matt Oberg and Sandy Honig will guest as the Deborah’s new writers — all of whom will presumably report to Hannah Einbinder’s Ava.

In the season three finale, Ava blackmailed Deborah into giving her the head writer gig on her new show. The season four logline doesn’t give much, saying only “tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.” Tensions indeed…

Hacks returns...

In our Q&a series Last Call, we get down to the bottom of every last thing with some of our favorite celebs - from the last thing they texted to the last thing they binge-watched. This week, actor and singer Skylar Astin takes our call.

If you follow Skylar Astin, then you know that he's passionate about three things: music, his "pet" squirrel Maxine, and his cat Annabelle.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Season 4, Episode 8, “I’m Not The Person I Used To Be.”]

On Friday’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) can’t recognize her alcoholic ex-boyfriend Greg (Santino Fontana) when he shows up at his high school reunion party after two years away. That’s because “Pitch Perfect” star Skylar Astin, not Fontana, now plays Greg.

“We wrote [Fontana] off the show because he voluntarily left. And he’ll be in ‘Tootsie’ on Broadway,” Bloom said during a panel for the show at the Television Critics Association press tour this summer. “But with an actor leaving, that left an exciting gap. His character has become like lore.”

With Becky in “Roseanne,” Aunt Viv in “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” or Darren in “Bewitched,” recasting a role isn’t usually acknowledged on the show, although the audience can’t help but be aware of the change. However, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” did the opposite...

Meg Ryan made a welcome return to the red carpet Thursday night. The New York-based actress attended the Ithaca screening during the 18th Annual Savannah Film Festival at the Trustees Theater in Savannah, Ga. The coming-of-age movie is Ryan's directorial debut and stars her 23-year-old son, Jack Quaid, as well as Tom Hanks, Danny Jolles, Hamish Linklater, Christine Nelson, Alex Neustaedter, Lois Robbins, Sam Shepard, Robin Skye, Zachary Webber and Nick Williams. Appropriately, Ryan and Quaid play a mother and son. Ryan was also given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the event. During a Q&A after the screening, Ryan said the film was inspired by William Saroyan's 1943 novel The Human Comedy....
