What can you expect from Hacks season 4?

Hacks is probably the best show you aren’t watching. Through three seasons, this little gem on Max has developed into a powerhouse of emotional resonance, comedy, and female camaraderie. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, the former a washed-up stand-up comedian who needs a boost and the latter a Millenial writer who can’t get her material to stick. Together, Deborah and Ava form a dynamic duo and start to affect each other’s lives in much deeper ways than they ever imagined.

Hacks walked away from this year’s Emmy Awards with more than one trophy, and it was very deserving. The chemistry between cast members and creative storytelling is second to none right now in the comedy category. With the third season in the rearview mirror, it’s time to think about Hacks season 4! Here is everything we know about the fourth outing so far.

What will Hacks season 4 be about?

Hacks season 4 should pick up right where we left off after a cliffhanger for the ages. Deborah achieved her ultimate success last season when she realized her lifelong goal of becoming a late-night talk show host. Unfortunately for Ava, Deborah believes her program will stand a better chance at renewal with a male head writer. She demotes Ava, a huge stab in the back to her younger comedic partner, who has been endlessly supportive even when it works against her self-interests.

Ava knows all about Deborah’s skeletons in the closet, though. One of the downsides to Deborah letting Ava get so close through the years leading up to season 4 is that her head writer can emulate her cutthroat tendencies to her advantage. Ava forces herself back into the head writer’s chair for the late-night show by threatening to reveal that Deborah slept with her network boss in an earlier episode. Not wanting her reputation soiled, Deborah has to let Ava get her way for now. As fans of Hacks, we know that Ms. Vance always gets her way in the end. Ava is playing a dangerous game with her mentor, and we can’t wait to see the game of cat and mouse between these frenemies!

Who will star in Hacks season 4?

All of the big stars will be back for Hacks season 4. Deborah and Ava will still be portrayed by award-winning and award-nominated actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. The rest of the cast is also talented and underrated, but fans will get a chance to see them once again in season 4. Carl Clemons-Hopkins will return as Deborah’s right-hand man, Marcus. Paul W. Downs will also continue his expanded role as loyal talent assistant Jimmy LuSaque Jr. Downs doubles as both a star and a creator of Hacks!

Is there a trailer for Hacks season 4?

Hacks doesn’t have a full-length trailer for season 4 yet, but Max and HBO did release a montage of teaser snippets for many upcoming shows releasing in the next year, and the hit series was one of the ones in the video. Deborah tries to intimidate Ava once again by sarcastically claiming her protege is a “brave, big girl” after Ava undermined her boss’s biggest career opportunity yet. The love-hate banter between the two should be even more fun than usual when the show returns in 2025.

When will Hacks season 4 come out?

There is no official release date for Hacks season 4. Rumors indicate that the series will return to streaming sooner than it did between season 2 and season 3 (the Hollywood strikes affected that release date.) Variety says Hacks season 4 has a tentative release date around May 2025. This would be about one year after season 3 released. The teaser trailer also said the show will come out in 2025. Fans should be excited for ten episodes this time instead of nine, and the shorter gap in the calendar between seasons is something shows are trying to aim for more often again. The two big hits that come out at the same time annually were The Bear and Only Murders in the Building .

1923 season 2: Everything we know so far
All about 1923 season 2
Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in 1923

As a franchise, Yellowstone goes far beyond a single show. That's partially because series co-creator Taylor Sheridan is a very prolific writer and also because Paramount sold off the streaming rights for Yellowstone to Peacock. The studio only came to regret that decision when it needed a hit for Paramount+. So far, Sheridan has delivered two Paramount+ exclusive Yellowstone prequels: 1883 and 1923. The former was always going to be a one-season series, but 1923 has a second season on the way.

Harrison Ford is your grandfather's favorite action hero and an Academy Award nominee for Witness, way back in the 1980s. He's now entertaining new generations of fans with 1923. With his adventure and Western roots, he was the perfect fit for this Yellowstone spinoff, and it's almost time to see him in the second season of the show. Here is everything we know so far about 1923 season 2, including a firm release date and a trailer.

You season 5: Everything we know so far
Are you excited for season 5 of You?
Penn Badgley starring in You season 4

When it comes to shows that you can shut your brain off and just enjoy a thrill ride of exciting twists and passionate romance, Netflix's crime drama You fits the bill. Starting out on Lifetime and based on a novel by Caroline Kepnes, You stars Penn Badgley as a serial killer who just wants to find love ... but those aspirations are often overtaken by his bloodier, more morbid desires. The show resembles a more lightweight, sexy version of Dexter or Hannibal and has attracted several different audiences since its inception in 2018.

You may be a roller coaster ride, but it also gets into a repetitive cycle of storytelling each season. Each season, Badgley's Joe Goldberg meets a new love interest, explores a different city, and then runs away for a fresh start before repeating the plot over again. This makes the news of the fifth season being the last all the more enticing. This allows the crew behind the scenes to go out with a bang and escape the familiarity of the plot lines from the past couple of seasons. You has been nominated for Saturn and Atrios Awards throughout its first four seasons, but never an Emmy. This is everything we know so far about You season 5 on Netflix.
What will You season 5 be about?
You season 5 will pick up in New York after season 4 took place in London. Joe and Kate are still together after the death of Kate's father. They will try to manage Joe's attempts to accept his psychotic urges while also blending back into American life and society.
