Hacks Is Officially Ending With Season 5 Says Hannah Einbinder

Intergenerational showbiz comedy Hacks has been a hit for HBO since its premiere in 2021, but all good things must come to an end. That includes the misadventures of veteran comedienne Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), her initially reluctant joke writer. Collider's Steve Weintraub caught up with Einbinder at South by Southwest, where her new film, Seekers of Infinite Love, will make its debut. Einbinder confirms that the series has completed its fifth and final season, as of two weeks ago: "We've wrapped." Although she was initially cagey over whether this will truly be the end, she eventually confirmed that this is indeed the show's swan song: "I don't know? I think so. Look, I… Yes, okay? Yes. I don't know what I'm supposed to say and not say. One time, I said the wrong thing, and then we took it back. But it was real then, and it's real now. So yeah, it is the last season, okay? And I bet that's true and out there. I bet it's out there because multiple people asked me today, but I don't know. But I do, and it is! I'm sorry. F***." She also teased that the final season will have the same magic that earned the show a devoted audience and an Emmy win for Outstanding Comedy Series. "It's the Hacks special, baby. You're going to laugh. You're going to cry. There's going to be wigs, and the girls are there. It's going to be great." The final season of Hacks will premiere later this year. #hacks #hacksseason5 #HannahEinbinder #JeanSmart For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
