Max announced today that Hacks has been picked up for a fifth season. The news comes ahead of this Thursday's season finale, which will wrap another successful run for the Emmy-winning dramedy. Per the streamer, Season 4 is on pace to become the show's best performing season to date.

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

The half-hour series stars Jean Smart as Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas comedian who becomes an unlikely mentor to an entitled, outcast 25-year-old after realizing they have more in common than she first thought.

Look for Season 5 of Hacks in 2026.
