Hacks will be back for season 5

Season four hasn’t experienced any of the same struggle for ratings that Late Night With Deborah Vance has dealt with in its initial outing. In a press release, the network claimed that this installment is primed to be the series’ most successful yet, with every new episode attracting more viewers than the one that came before. 

Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder), of course, haven’t been so lucky. No spoilers here, but the future of Hacks‘ show-within-the-show has never been nearly as secure as Hacks‘ own. While Deborah fights to prove herself to the network, Smart has already won three Emmys for playing the part. She’s not the only one; the show has been nominated for 48 statues overall, with nine total wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2024. Deborah and Ava may have a long way to go to reach those heights, but at least the pair will have a few more chances after whatever goes down in the season four finale.
