‘Hacks‘ to Conclude with Season 5, Hannah Einbinder Confirms
LOS ANGELES, CA – The critically acclaimed HBO Max comedy Hacks will conclude with its upcoming fifth season, star Hannah Einbinder confirmed following the show’s Emmy wins on Monday night.While HBO Max renewed the series in May, the number of seasons needed to tell the complete story remained uncertain.”We initially pitched the show as five seasons, but that was before we knew whether we’d even get a Season 2, let alone Season 4,” Einbinder explained. “So the truth is that we don’t know.”
The confirmation provides closure for fans of the series, which has garnered widespread praise for its sharp writing and performances. Rolling Stone has lauded Hacks as “one of the most beloved comedies in recent years” and “one of the funniest shows on TV.” The show’s success is underscored by the recent Emmy wins for both Einbinder and co-star Jean Smart for their performances in Season 4, solidifying its place as a standout in contemporary television.
Einbinder used her Emmy acceptance speech to advocate for causes vital to her, stating, “I just want to say: Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine.” She later elaborated to the press, explaining her stance as a Jewish individual: “It Is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel, because our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state.”
Season 5 will mark the final chapter in the complex relationship between Deborah Vance (Smart) and Ava Daniels (Einbinder), leaving audiences to anticipate how the show will resolve the dynamic that has captivated viewers as its debut.
