When Will Hacks Season 2 Premiere on HBO Max?
Hacks Season 1 ends on a cliffhanger for Ava (Hannah Einbinder)s relationship with the great Deborah Vance (Jean Smart). While it seems the two women have formed a deep bond, Avas actions earlier in the episode threaten to blow that up. A drunk and angry Ava sent Deborahs deepest secrets to a pair of writers bent on telling the story of a crazy and unhinged woman in power. Ava realizes this has happened just as shes about to set off with Deborah on a tour to hone the older comics new, confessional act. Yes! HBO Max renewed the hit Jean Smart comedy for a second season on Tuesday, June 8. According to HBO Max, Hacks has been a top performer on the platform since its debut, consistently ranking in the top ten most viewed titles out of all available content.  So, yes, there will definitely be a Hacks Season 2 on HBO Max! Thats the question! When Decider spoke to Hacks creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky this week, they joked that HBO Max had already been sending them calendars for Season 2 pre-production and production. I will say calendars have been set, Paul W. Downs said. Thats honestlythats the first way weve kind of found out, Lucia Aniello said. Somebody said, Hey, were sending you a calendar, and were like, Okay. So that was our first indication [Hacks had been renewed for Season 2].  The team got their official notice that the renewal was happening on Monday, June 7. Given Hacks was originally announced in May 2020 and production took place over Winter/Spring 2020/2021, Hacks Season 2 could premiere on HBO Max as early as late 2021. However, a safer bet might be Spring 2022.

Its also going to be interesting to see the way in which someone like Deborah Vance tours, because I dont think its the exact same way a lot of Road Dog comedians tour, which means shes getting home anytime she can, Shes getting into that Whirlpool bath.  Hacks creators were obviously mum on what will happen next, but they teased that they have thought of revisiting Drew, the misogynistic comic Deborah pays off to never step foot on stage again in Hacks Episode 8  You know, I dont know that we have a specific plan although we have talked about it [because] a lot of people like Drew wouldnt accept the money or who would accept the money thinking they could skirt it and still do comedy, Downs said. The litigation alone is worth an episode!  But I think the litigation, she would love it, Jen Statsky said. Oh, she would love it, Downs said. Its not outside the realm of possibility at all. In fact, we have talked a little bit about what his future might be like  Where to stream Hacks
