Hacks Season 2: What Do We Know About The Next Season?

Hack’s second season includes Emmy-winning actress Jean Smart and shares a 10-episode, half-hour series aimed for critical praise. With Hacks, the newest HBO Max show from creator Paul W. Brown and co-creators Jen Statsky and Lucia Aniello, audiences can expect a blend of comedy and drama that critics have described as genuine but rare in its ability to be hilarious as well as emotional.

Season one of Hacks tells the story of two women in comedy who couldn’t be more different but find out they have a lot in common when they stop pretending to be someone they are not. Predictably, Deborah and Ava clash over what their opinions are of the content that they will be producing. Here’s everything you need to know.

Hack Season 2 Renewal and Release Details:

Hacks continue for the next season to the delight of Jean Smart fanatics, as HBO Max renewed it just days before the less than anticipated final episodes in the first season.

Production on Season 2 of Hacks may resume once COVID restrictions have been eased. Time and location remain unknown at this time.

Netflix could begin production on Hacks season 2 in the fall of 2021, allowing them to schedule the new season’s 2023 premiere as early as May.

Hack Season 2 Cast Details:

There will be big things coming for the cast of  Hacks in season 2. The entire team from season 1 is likely to return, including Marcus (Ava Carl Clemmons-Hopkins), Jean Smart, and Hannah Einbinder.

Hacks season 2 may include less of the show’s recurring cast, including Christopher MacDonald as casino owner Marty and Paul W. Downs as Jimmy, the agent., Meg Stalter as Kayla, Jimmy’s assistant, and Kaitlin Olsen as Deborah’s daughter D.J., in season 2 if Ava and Deborah do spend time on the road. However, this does open the door for a lot of new guest stars to appear!

Hack Season 2 Plot Synopsis:

Hacks’ season finale, episode 10 of the second season, “I Think She Can,” set up several storylines for the show. Appearing to have put aside any animosity, Deborah appears optimistic about working with Ava again.

Their newly repaired and grudging respect for one another will be put to the test as soon as Deborah learns about Ava’s revenge-driven tell-all email that she sent while drunk to the writers of Bitch PM.

In the first season of Hacks, Ava’s experiences and what she saw in Vegas were often the butt of jokes she wrote. The city was also important for being Deborah’s comfort zone. Taking Deborah out of Vegas will surely challenge her, but Smart will undoubtedly portray those challenges well.
