Release details of Hacks Season 4
Although there’s no official release date for Hacks Season 4, we can make some guesses based on previous seasons. Seasons 1 and 2 premiered in May, but season 3 was delayed due to Hollywood strikes and a brief pause as Jean Smart recovered from a heart procedure.
Co-creator Lucia Aniello mentioned in an interview that they had been working on season 3 since May 2022, and filming wrapped in January 2024. Fans can expect season four to drop sometime in May 2025 if all goes well.
Plot details we know so far for the upcoming season of Hacks
With the finale setting up a major conflict between Ava and Deborah, Hacks Season 4 is poised to dive deeper into their rivalry. As Deborah’s Late Night show takes off, Ava’s role as head writer will be key, but the tension between the two is bound to explode. Fans are eager to see how the show balances the behind-the-scenes drama with the comedic elements that have made Hacks so beloved.
Season four will need to address plenty of other plot points. For instance, Marcus, played by Carl Clemons-Hopkins, seems to be moving on from Deborah’s team for a new role at QVC. Meanwhile, Jimmy, played by Paul W. Downs, desperately tries to keep Kayla, played by Megan Stalter, from leaving the business by promoting her to the managerial position, leading to hilarious and chaotic moments. On the personal side, DJ Kaitlin Olson is expecting a baby, likely stirring up more drama within Deborah’s world.
