Check out the newly-released trailer for Season 3 of the oh-do-delicious MAX dramedy series Hacks starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. The series centers on the professional relationship between a young comedy writer and a legendary stand-up comedienne. The synopsis from MAX gives us this much: “A year after parting, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is riding high off the success of her standup special while Ava (Hannah Einbinder) pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles.” https://youtu.be/kZkv9-90De8?si=DK8yjIKn_LRLJ_AJ More from Uproxx:
The pair went through rough-and-tumble times in the first season when Ava violated her NDA agreement and spilled some nightmare details about Deborah. In turn, Deborah dragged Ava through various rounds of purgatory while they toured the U.S. during the second season. From there, Deborah grabbed a chainsaw, which had nothing to do with how the two parted ways.
A new trailer shows the former begrudging teammates bumping into each other, and they don’t seem to be mad about it. However, it’s clear that the show aims to shake things up by showing how Ava and Deborah are doing their own things, which is one way to keep a wonderful series from going stale.
Ava is also shown in a tryst with an oil heiress portrayed by Christina Hendricks, and Jean Smart revealed that Deborah Vance would be seeing romance as well.
I’ve loved Hacks since it debuted in 2021. The series won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New TV Series in 2022, and Jean Smart scored the Best TV Performance honor from GALECA (in a tie with Michaela Coel) in 2021. Watch Smart accept her Dorian Award below (and you might see a familiar blogger immediately follow her in the Dorians presentation). The new season of Hacks premieres May 2. https://youtu.be/9IYiM7r9XFc?si=zHxykMdKI6hOcucg&t=4834
