Hacks Renewed For Season 5 At Max

Deborah Vance is about to rewrite her legacy: Max has renewed Hacks for Season 5, TVLine has learned.

"Like Deborah Vance herself, Hacks only gets bolder, sharper and more iconic with time," president of Universal Television Erin Underhill said in a statement. "We're beyond thrilled to keep the laughter rolling with Jen [Statsky], Paul [W. Downs], Lucia [Aniello], our extraordinary cast and crew, and our partners at Max." 

Added Head of Max Original Programming Sarah Aubrey: "We congratulate Hacks' singularly talented cast and crew and our great partners at Universal Television."

In Season 4, tensions rose as Deborah and Ava endeavored to get their late-night show off the ground and make history while doing it. But in the season's penultimate episode, Deborah quit her hosting gig at Late Night With Deborah Vance after network head Bob Lipka demanded she fire head writer Ava for leaking confidential corporate information. (The Season 4 finale streams on Max starting Thursday at 9/8c.)

Aside from its two leads Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, Hacks also stars Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Helen Hunt, Mark Indelicato and Rose Abdoo. Season 4 guest stars include Dan Bucatinsky, Tony Goldwyn, Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Adams, Julianne Nicholson, Christopher McDonald and Carol Burnett.
