June 8, 2024
Hacks, now back for its third season on Max, is a show about the unhealthy working dynamic between veteran comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder). The show’s creators, Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Downs (who also portrays Jimmy) manage to keep everything continually fresh and entertaining three seasons in with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Awards Buzz spoke with Aniello and Statsky about the experience of getting to watch the first two episodes of season three with an audience at SXSW this past March. Watch the video above to hear about their favorite moments so far and their ever-developing plans for what’s next.
Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky are eligible in multiple comedy series categories at this year’s Emmy Awards. Seasons one through three of Hacks are available to stream on Max. This interview was conducted prior to the show’s renewal for season four.
