Hacks is arguably one of the best comedies on TV right now and has scooped almost every award a show can win in the genre. For instance, it has won three Golden Globes, four Critics’ Choice Awards, and nine Primetime Emmy Awards in various categories.
What’s more, the comedy has recently earned 14 nominations at the upcoming Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
Due to the show’s writing, performances, and direction, Hacks has an average approval rating of 98% for its past four seasons on Rotten Tomatoes, proving it has earned much critical acclaim.
If you have fallen in love with Deborah and Ava’s friendship and can’t wait to see what they do next, keep reading for all the latest details on season five of Hacks, including its potential premiere date, plot, cast, and broadcast information.
What’s the Premiere Date for Season Five of Hacks?
Before season four was over, Max announced it had renewed Hacks for a fifth season. While it hasn’t confirmed an official premiere date, it is expected to arrive on TV screens in April or May 2026.
For example, seasons one to three premiered in early May, and the fourth season arrived slightly earlier on April 10, 2025.
How Many Episodes Will Season 5 Have?
Based on past seasons, the fifth instalment is likely to have between eight and ten episodes.
For example, seasons one and four had ten episodes, and seasons two and three had eight.
What’s the Plot?
The fifth season will pick up from various season four events. For example, it will follow Deborah after she walked away from her dream Late Night talk show out of loyalty to Ava, who she was fired as head writer.
As a result, Deborah and Ava will need to carve new paths, potentially together or alone.
Who Will Star in the Fifth Season?
Your favorite characters will return for the fifth season of Hacks. Jean Smart is back as legendary Vegas comic Deborah Vance, and Hannah Einbinder will return as her comedy writer, Ava Daniels.
Co-creator and writer Paul W. Downs steps back into the role of Jimmy, with Megan Stalter returning as his loyal yet ditzy business partner Kayla.
Also, the show wouldn’t be complete without Deborah’s staff, meaning Rose Abdoo is back as Josefina, Mark Indelicato will return as Damien, and Carl Clemons-Hopkins is likely to pop up as Marcus.
Will Season Five Be the Last?
Hacks’ creators (Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky) have repeatedly said Hacks will only run for five seasons.
Also, they reportedly pitched the final scene of season five when attempting to sell the show to the network. As a result, it is expected that the fifth season of Hacks will be its last.
However, the creators have hinted they might be willing to create more seasons if the storyline is right.
Jen Statsky recently stated that their goal is to keep the relationship between Ava and Deborah as fresh as possible, and they would only continue if it made sense to do so.
Has Season Five Entered Production?
As of July 2025, filming hasn’t started on season five of Hacks. It is reportedly in the development/pre-production stage.
Where Can I Watch Hacks?
Hacks season five will be broadcast exclusively on Max in the United States, and it will air on Crave in Canada.
Australians can watch the show on Stan, and many European countries can catch it on HBO Max.
