Hacks will soon be back.
The show announced this morning on social media that Season 3 of Max/Universal TV hit comedy will premiere this spring.
Production on the new season was halted in May due to the writers strike. The Emmy-winning series centers on an aging comedian Deborah Vance (Smart) and an up-and-coming writer Ava Daniels (Einbinder) who are writing together.
Hacks was created by Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, who serve as showrunners.
Production on Season 3 of Hacks, which started shortly after Thanksgiving of 2022 and resumed after the holiday break in January of 2023, was previously paused in February when Smart underwent a successful heart procedure. It resumed in mid-March before shutting down again in May because of the work stoppage.
Hacks has been a commercial hit and awards juggernaut, amassing 32 Emmy nominations and 6 wins for its first two seasons, including two statuettes for Smart.
The series also stars Carl Clemons-Hopkins and Jane Adams as well as 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.
