Season 5 of “Hacks” to Conclude on HBO Max

The popular HBO Max comedy “Hacks” is set to come to an end after its upcoming fifth season, as revealed by star Hannah Einbinder at the 77th Emmy Awards. Einbinder shared that work on season 5 will begin soon and expressed mixed feelings about it being the final season, noting that it’s important to know when to wrap up a story and not overstay its welcome.

Fans of the show might not be surprised by this news, as the creators had previously pitched “Hacks” as a five-season series to WarnerMedia. According to Jen Statsky, Lucia Aniello, and Paul W. Downs, the vision for the show included a planned finale from the beginning.

While the upcoming fifth season is expected to be the last, there is still a possibility of more content beyond that. Downs mentioned in an interview that the writers are focused on delivering the story in the best way possible, even if it means extending the show beyond the planned five seasons.

As the creators work on wrapping up the story for “Hacks,” fans can look forward to one final season to see how the journey of Deborah and Ava concludes. And with Emmy wins under their belt, including a first-time win for Einbinder, the show continues to receive recognition for its outstanding performances and storytelling.
