Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - Hacks - Season Three

Hacks was renewed on the buzzer. Season four is coming baby!

Season three began streaming early May, with double episodes on Stan each week, until this morning when episode Bulletproof streamed.

Season three continued in Vegas with dynamic duo, lead by Deborah Vance (Smart) riding high off the success of her stand-up special, while Ava (Einbinder) pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles.

However Deborah and Ava are quickly reunited, kickstarting a new chapter of the women’s complicated personal and professional relationship.

The cast was on point this season. Joining Smart and Einbinder, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, Lorenza Izzo and Christopher McDonald. 

Season 3 also saw some fun guests, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Hendricks, Dan Bucatinsky and Tony Goldwyn.

I have loved the series since it started. Stan did well to pick up this Las Vegas romp!


It had been a long wait since HBO Max renewed the series for a third season back in June 2022.

By September 2022, the showrunners revealed that a time jump would take place between the second and third season.

Production began for the third season in November 2022 and production paused near the end of February 2023 for a few weeks before resuming in March due to Jean Smart recovering from a successful heart procedure.

Then, production shut down in May 2023 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.

So here is hoping we don't have to wait as long for the fourth season.

HBO Max have been a bit guilty of killing comedy series after two seasons, so maybe Hacks will be around for a while.

Helen Hunt really was a fun addition to the series too. Honestly Hacks is brilliant TV. The ups and downs between Smart and Einbinder is so addictive. Oh and that last twist, scene at the end of Bulletproof, MEOW!
