Hacks Season 4 casts new actor in a major role 

Hacks Season 4 is right around the corner and will have a new cast member, Jake Shane. According to Variety, Jake is going to play the role of Social Media Girlie.

The comedy-drama Hacks revolves around the relationship between a young comedy writer aspiring to have a better career and an established comedian trying to revive hers. The third season of Hacks ended with Ava securing her position as Deborah's head writer. She had blackmailed Deborah into giving her the job with the fact that she knew of Deborah's night with Bob. Hacks Season 4 will thus only increase tensions between the two as they try to work together.

Hacks Season 4 comes out on April 10, 2025 on HBO and Max. The logline for season 4 says:

“Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

It is unknown which episode will introduce us to Jake Shane as Social Media Girlie. Oftentimes, shows cast openly gay actors into stereotypical roles. That is something that might happen to Jake, given how open he has been about his s**uality. However, Jake seems to have loved working on the show, which means he was happy with his character.

Jake Shane before Hacks Season 4

Jake Shane is a comedian and social media personality. Like many social media personalities, he initially gained fame by posting interesting videos on TikTok. He was known for his comedic reenactment of historical events. Soon, he started gaining followers and currently has 1.1M followers.

In January 2024, Shane started his podcast, Therapuss with Jake Shane. It is a different way of saying therapist. On the podcast, Jake calls a guest every episode and with the guest, tries to answer questions asked by listeners.

Jake has also released a comedy album recently, called Puss & Poems featuring artists like Joe Jonas, Snooki, Tate McRae, and others. This January, Shane announced that he is going on tour taking his show ''Live with Jake'' to his audiences in spring or summer.

Hacks Season 4 is about to release soon, and fans are eager to see how the relationship between Ava and Deborah changes after last season's finale events. Fans are also interested in seeing what exactly Shane will bring to the show given this is his first time playing a character and is mostly known for being a social media personality.

While many internet personalities like Liza Koshy have transitioned from internet content to shows and films, audiences are not the biggest fans of it happening often. Most times, they do not want to see an internet or social media personality act in a show or film. But given Shane's comedic timing, fans might love him!

Hacks Season 4 comes out on April 10 with a dual episode premiere on HBO and Max.
