About ‘Hacks’ Season 3 Premiere

The Emmy Award-winning “Hacks” centers around the partnership of legendary Las Vegas comic Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and outcast 20-something comedy writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder), who is hired to bring Vance’s standup set into the 21st century.

The third season will pick up where Season 2 left off after Deborah and Ava parted way, though time will only tell for how long. In the meanwhile, Deborah is riding high from the success of her stand-up special, and Ava begins her search for new work in Los Angeles.

“Hacks” also features series regulars Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, and Lorenza Izzo. Season 3 guest stars will include Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, George Wallace, Tony Goldwyn, and Dan Bucatinsky.

The first two seasons of the series received a collective 32 Emmy nominations and won six, including two Lead Actress in a Comedy Series statuettes for Smart.
