Hacks season 3 release date, plot, trailer, cast and news
Over two seasons, Ava and Deborah have gradually worked their way from failure to success. The diva managed to return to the top, while her companion started her own career. In the third season, the women’s paths cross again – so we can expect stand-ups, put-downs, arguments and reconciliations.
Hacks is a sharp yet charming streaming series that follows two very different comedians who end up working together. The show explores generational conflicts and challenges faced by women in showbiz. It is highly praised by viewers and critics alike.
But when will the new episodes of Hacks debut, and what’s in store for viewers in season 3? We have collected all the information about the successful comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder.

Hacks season 3 plot
Spoilers for season 2 below.
The official log line for the third season reads:
A year after her divorce, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is capitalizing on the success of her stand-up special, while Ava (Hannah Einbinder) pursues new opportunities in Los Angeles.
The second season of Hacks put an end to all the major storylines. Deborah and Ava found success on Deborah’s show, and the pair seemed closer than ever. But during the festive party, Deborah fired Ava and decided that even though she was in high demand, she should focus on her own career.
Despite the painful goodbye to her mentor, Ava finally appreciated her decision. In season 3, the two women go their separate ways for a while, but then work together again. Especially because Deborah, who is back at the top, will have to make a lot of effort to maintain her position.
She can probably count on the help of Jimmy and Kayla, who at the end of season 2 decided to take a big step and start their own PR agency.
In Deborah’s personal life, a small revolution is coming in the form of the baby her daughter DJ is expecting. At the same time, the ongoing flirtation between Deborah and Palmetto Casino owner Marty is over – at least for now – now that Marty is engaged to another woman.
