You’ve seen the memes. You saw it win the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. Now watch the movie.

Paramount+ is going all-in on its critically acclaimed British crime drama “MobLand.”

Revealed to Variety exclusively, the company is launching an ambitious Emmy campaign that surprisingly places both Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan in the running for lead drama actor. The decision to push Brosnan as a co-lead — rather than a supporting contender as many had assumed — is one of several surprising moves in the streamer’s Emmy strategy.

Helen Mirren, meanwhile, will compete for supporting drama actress, avoiding a head-to-head clash with her own work in “1923,” Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama, where she is considered a possible contender for lead drama actress.

Created by Ronan Bennett, “MobLand” centers on Harry Da Souza (Hardy), a fixer for the powerful London-based Harrigan crime family, led by Conrad (Brosnan) and Maeve Harrigan (Mirren). As rival gangs threaten the family’s empire, Harry is tasked with maintaining control and preventing a full-scale war.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Hacks Season 4, Episode 9, “A Slippery Slope.”] Hacks delivered its biggest twist to date in the latest Season 4 installment, “A Slippery Slope,” as Deborah (Jean Smart) essentially blew up her dream by defying the powers behind her late-night show, Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn). After Winnie Landell (Helen Hunt) was fired when Deborah complained about her, Bob became more directly involved in the day-to-day operations of Deborah’s show. When he suggested that Deborah host Ethan Summers (Eric Balfour), an actor accused of abuse, who she and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) had previously agreed would not appear. Bob wanted it done to cross-promote the company’s film with Ethan, Shadow Soldier, and so Ava and Deborah took the opportunity to craft an interview that would put the actor on the spot with a joke. In the end, the joke was nixed, and Ava was really upset, which led her to vent to former...

Warning: The following story contains spoilers about the ninth episode of Season 4 of Hacks, "A Slippery Slope."

Not to be hyperbolic, but Thursday's episode of Hacks might be its most important one yet. "It is the most pivotal episode of the series so far," co-creator, co-showrunner, director, and star Paul W. Downs says on the latest episode of Awards Magnet.

In "A Slippery Slope," written by Downs and fellow creators and showrunners Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, the repercussions of network head Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn) doing Deborah (Jean Smart) a "favor" the previous episode by firing Winnie (Helen Hunt) start to build when Bob asks Deborah to have scandal-ridden movie star Ethan Sommers (Eric Balfour) on her show. After Deborah acquiesces when she's asked to cut her joke about his secret Snapchat, a peeved Ava (Hannah Einbinder) spills all to her old On the Contrary boss Lewis (Aristotle Athari...

Warning: This post contains spoilers from Hacks season 4 episode 9.

Even though it feels like the new season just started airing on HBO Max, it's already time for the Hacks season 4 finale. Following the release of the season's penultimate episode on May 22, there's only one more episode left in Hacks season 4, and it's sure to be a season finale for the ages. Deborah made one of her boldest moves yet that's sure to cause ramifications for herself and Ava.

Wondering when you can watch the Hacks season 4 finale? Hacks season 4 episode 10, titled "Heaven," releases on Thursday, May 29 at 9 p.m. Et on HBO Max. After this episode releases, there aren't any additional episode in season 4, and we'll have to keep our fingers crossed for the streamer to announce a season 5 renewal. There just has to be more Ava and Deborah in our future!

Take a closer look at the Hacks season...

The Twister: Caught in the Storm (1996), directed by Jan de Bont, plunges viewers into the heart of tornado country with an adrenaline-charged mix of disaster spectacle and human drama. As a high-octane thriller, its logline is simple: a veteran storm-chaser (Bill Paxton) and a fearless meteorologist (Helen Hunt) race against spiraling twisters to deploy revolutionary data-gathering probes.

Set against the vast plains of the rural American Midwest during peak tornado season, the film stakes are personal and scientific—lives hang in the balance even as a breakthrough in weather prediction looms.

The director’s eye for scale captures both the sweeping grandeur of swirling skies and the intimate moments of fear etched on characters’ faces. Viewers are invited to witness raw nature in motion while tracking relationships frayed and reforged under extraordinary duress.

For global audiences accustomed to Bollywood’s vivid tableaux or India’s parallel cinema focus on social realism,...

It's not hard to see why high schools have been a consistent part of film history when you really think about it. There are so many opportunities for rich storytelling around the high school experience. From coming-of-age tales and high school melodramas to teen comedies and everything in between, high school has always provided filmmakers with an endless source of engaging stories.

As such, the best High School movies don't necessarily need the most visually engaging school as a backdrop. The emotional journeys that emerge from the high school experience are more than enough for a good film. But it doesn't hurt to have a memorable backdrop for your high school movie, and Los Angeles has what might just be the most famous school in the entire world.

John Marshall High School has appeared in a staggering number of productions, from movies and TV shows to music videos. Even if...

Tornadoes can be terrifying, but that doesn't stop people from watching a movie about them. In real life, there are courageous storm chasers who start their potentially dangerous journey with one mission: to look a storm in its eye, or rather, get up close and personal to study it or admire its scary beauty. While when this happens in real life, fear takes over those at home getting alerts and warnings from meteorologists to take cover, movies like Twistersare entertainingly whirling up the charts. According to Flix Patrol, the 2024 film is among the top movies to watch on Prime Video.

It hasn't left the top ten on the chart and is currently staying in the top three. Twisters is a sequel to Twister (1996), which starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The Glen Powell-led production follows a clashing group of storm chasers who investigate a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma.

Hacks season 4 sets series-low Rotten Tomatoes scores, but still proves that it's one of the best comedies currently on television. Premiered on April 10, the fourth season of Max's dramedy series continues following the legendary comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and her young writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) as Deborah takes over her own late-night show. Hacks season4's cast also includes Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Megan Stalter, Paul W. Downs, Rose Abdoo, Mark Indelicato, Helen Hunt, and many more.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Hacks season 4 has the lowest critics and audience scores for the series at 97% and 63%. At the time of writing, it has 35 reviews and 50+ ratings, but with season 4 still airing, those scores are subject to change as more come in. Check out the chart comparing each season's Rotten Tomatoes scores below:

What Hacks Season 4's Rotten Tomatoes Scores Mean For The Show They're Not An Indictment

Hacks season 4's series-low critics'...

Like the 1970s, the '90s were a great decade for disaster films. In addition to films like "Deep Impact," "Armageddon," "Independence Day," "Dante's Peak," and "Volcano," there was, of course, "Twister." The Jan de Bont film followed a storm-chasing couple on the verge of divorce, chasing one of the worst outbreaks of tornados in the history of Oklahoma. Though the film is now almost three decades old, it holds up!

There are lots of reasons why the movie works so well. One major factor was de Bont's insistence on practical effects. "We dropped those combines hanging from helicopters onto the road as the car was driving, which, of course, makes for the best reaction you can get from the actors, because it's goddamned real," he told Vulture. "They really fall from the sky, and it is not like a little fall."

Another major aspect of the film's success was its cast.

Set in the 32nd century as a spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will be a series departure from the usual Star Trek canon that follows the adventures of a Federation starship and its captain and crew rather than the faculty and young cadets of Earth’s Starfleet Academy. With Helen Hunt cast as the Academy's captain and chancellor, it will be the third time a Star Trek series is led by a female captain, following Kate Mulgrew's Captain Kathyrn Janeway of Star Trek: Voyager and Sonequa Martin-Green’s Captain Michael Burnham of Star Trek: Discovery.

Holly Hunter is the only Academy Award winner (The Piano) in an acting category to be cast as the lead in a prime-time Star Trek series. Of course, there have been several Oscar winners to be cast in supportive Star Trek series roles, who have won the golden statue, such...

The State of the Race

Spoilers for those who have not watched “Hacks” and plan to, but one of the most prescient moments on the latest season of the Max comedy was when Helen Hunt’s network boss revealed to Jean Smart’s Deborah Vance that her new job as a late night host was a last ditch attempt to not cancel their...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Hacks Season 4, Episode 4, “I Love LA.”] Hacks‘ latest episode, “I Love LA,” led Deborah (Jean Smart) and her right-hand man Damien (Mark Indelicato) to the club for an eventful night out in celebration of her late-night show’s premiere. While Deborah waited for the evening broadcast of her first episode taping, she attended dinner to enjoy it alongside colleagues like Winnie (Helen Hunt) and musical guest Randy Newman, but after she was stood up, she turned to Damien for company. The young man was quite obviously nervous sharing the table with his boss, but as the conversation progressed, he revealed his own hardships about acclimating to Los Angeles and suggested that if Deborah accompanied him to the club would do wonders for his social life. And so, Deborah joined Damien at the club and had such a good time that she stayed long after he’d left. Her fun was abruptly ended,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Hacks Season 4, Episode 4, “I Love LA.”] Hacks‘ latest episode, “I Love LA,” may have tracked Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) journey to the late-night TV stage, but it also served as a sweet tribute to Los Angeles and the victims and first responders of this year’s wildfires. In the installment, Deborah gears up to put on her first episode of the late-night show she and head writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) have been crafting since the beginning of this season, but it seemed anxiety got the best of her during rehearsal, forcing Deborah offstage only seconds after she stepped onto it. In order to reassure the network of her health, Winnie (Helen Hunt) set up a doctor’s appointment for Deborah. When Deborah entered the waiting room for her doctor’s visit, she happened to sit next to sketch comedy legend Carol Burnett. The ladies have a moving conversation about nerves,...

This post contains spoilers from Hacks season episode 4 from this point forward.

Following last week's ill-fated trip to Las Vegas for a writers' retreat, Hacks season 4 episode 4 is all systems go on final preparations for Deborah's late night show. The monologues and bits have been written, the wigs have been sewn, the stage has been set, and all that's left to do is run through the first taping in a dress rehearsal. But consummate professional Deborah freezes during her monologue. Is the pressure finally getting to her?

Deborah assumes and insists that she's having a cardiac event. She won't hear anyone else's consideration that she could be having a panic attack due to stage fright. Deborah Vance doesn't get stage fright. A heart attack is much easier for her to understand rather than the vague concept of fear-induced anxiety. Ava attempts to lend support to Deborah, but once again,...

Medalion Rahimi is set to appear in an upcoming episode of “Hacks” Season 4, Variety has learned exclusively.

The fourth season of the hit Max comedy premiered on April 10 with its first two episodes. Rahimi will make her debut on the series in the fourth episode, which airs on April 24. The official logline for Season 4 states, “Tensions rise as Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

In television, Rahimi most recently starred as Special Agent Fatima Namazi in the popular CBS procedural “NCIS: Los Angeles.” Her other TV credits include “Pam & Tommy” at Hulu, the Netflix series “From Scratch,” and the Shondaland series “Still Star Crossed.” Rahimi is currently producing and starring in the feature “The Weekend on Cape Cod When Everything Changed,” and has starred in other films like “Xoxo” and “Before I Fall.

The 2025 Academy Awards will live on as an exciting night for first-time nominees. The ceremony saw a handful of veteran actors getting nominated for the first time in their careers, including Demi Moore ("The Substance"), Guy Pearce ("The Brutalist"), and Isabella Rossellini ("Conclave"), and one actor got a big, shocking boost when first-time nominee Mikey Madison won Best Actress for "Anora." But for every new Oscar nominee that comes along each year, there's still a surprising number of talented performers who have yet to be honored by the Academy with even a single nomination. 

Despite being recognized by the Golden Globes, BAFTAs (basically the British Oscars), Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and other distinguished institutions, certain artists just can't seem to get on the Academy's radar. A few famous names received honorary Oscars, despite never getting nominated, while the Academy has completely iced out others with some pretty controversial Oscar snubs.

The fourth time could be the charm for Hannah Einbinder at the 2025 Emmys.

The Hacks costar was nominated in Best Comedy Supporting Actress for each of the first three seasons for playing young comedy writer Ava Daniels. Einbinder lost to Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) in 2021, Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary) in 2022, and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) in 2024. Meanwhile, lead actress Jean Smart as legendary comedian Deborah Vance has gone 3-for-3 at the Emmys so far in the Best Comedy Actress category.

According to Gold Derby's Emmy predictions, Einbinder is out front to finally win her first trophy for Season 4. Her closest competitors, as of this writing, are Colón-Zayas, Jessica Williams (Shrinking), Ralph, Catherine O'Hara (The Studio), and Janelle James (Abbott Elementary).

Einbinder has the benefit of starring on the reigning Emmy winner for Best Comedy Series, Hacks, which returned to Max on April 10 and continues airing until May 29, which will...

The return of Hacks Season 4 will bring about more conflict between main duo Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder).

In a surprising move, the partners at Slate PR — one of Hollywood’s highest-profile publicity firms that represents a long list of A-list stars, creators, talent and events — are dissolving the company.

The development was confirmed Thursday morning in a brief statement sharing that after 15 years together, the partners Stephen Huvane, Simon Halls, Robin Baum, Ina Treciokas and Andy Gelb have all “decided to move forward on separate paths.” The statement added that Treciokas will soon announce her next venture while the others, Huvane, Halls, Baum and Gelb, will “do the same.”

“The partners depart with mutual respect and appreciation for their joint accomplishments at Slate PR,” per a statement received by The Hollywood Reporter. “The partners sincerely thank their clients, colleagues and industry peers for their support throughout the years. They remain committed to providing thoughtful and strategic communications guidance in their new ventures.”

“Hacks” has never been shy about the fact Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is a tough boss. Over the past three seasons, Deborah has slapped, screamed at, ignored, belittled and even sued her key creative partner Ava (Hannah Einbinder). That long list doesn’t even cover the time she spit her gum into Ava’s hand. But thanks to taking over their late night show, that all changes in Season 4.

“It’s exciting for Ava, because she now gets to have Hr,” series co-creator, showrunner and executive producer Lucia Aniello told TheWrap.

“Yeah, she’s needed that for four seasons,” added Jen Statsky — who also showruns and executive produces the show while serving as its co-creator.

It’s a good joke, which is a given when you’re talking about “Hacks.” But it’s also one that speaks to a central truth about this season. By accepting her dream job as the host of late night,...

From Dorothy’s home getting caught in a wild wind storm in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” to Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton running toward danger in 1996’s “Twister,” the tornado has long permeated American screen culture. With “A Brief History of Chasing Storms,” filmmaker Curtis Miller adds to this tradition with a comprehensive study of the iconic phenomenon.

Premiering at Swiss documentary festival Visions du Réel, Miller’s film explores the mythology around the tornado in a road movie that crisscrosses the region of the American Midwest known as the “Tornado Alley.” Through visiting several towns in the region and speaking with its tornado-enthusiast inhabitants, the filmmaker traces the history of the country in parallel with that of the weather condition. Speaking with Variety ahead of the world premiere, Miller recalls always having had an interest in tornadoes, thanks to growing up in a region of Indiana often affected by the storms.

The fourth season of Hacks is hard to watch. For one, the two main characters are at each other’s throats for most of it. The conflict is so excessive and prolonged that it becomes grating—not to mention not all that funny. It may be interesting, but what happened to that famed sardonic humor?

However, this critically acclaimed and award-winning series proves that the season isn’t just about the laughs. No, Hacks is about the journey that brings these women back together. Our own 9 to 5, under the hot Vegas heat, neon lights, and biting after-midnight humor, that’s all its own.

The new season follows legendary comedian and QVC queen Deborah Vance (Watchmen’s Jean Smart) and her longtime writer Ava Daniels (Julia’s Hannah Einbinder) at the top of their professions. The catch? They had to blackmail and betray each other to get there.

The reigning queens of comedy are finally back with a new season full of biting one-liners, unexpected twists, and a feud so good Ryan Murphy could turn it into a limited series. Of course, we're talking about Hacks, the Max original comedy series that's the incumbent winner of the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. It's time to get ready for the Hacks season 4 premiere on Thursday April 10, which arrives with two episodes to kick off the season.

When we last left Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) in the season 3 finale, Ava was expertly maneuvering her checkmate on Deborah in order to score the head writer position on her new late night show. Deborah had otherwise promised Ava the job then walked back on the offer, but Ava held a particular piece of scandalous blackmail over her head to put her boss in a position where she couldn't say no again.

This April, we are getting a ton of great shows on various streaming services. From the much-anticipated Season 2 of The Last of Us and Star Wars’ Andor to the all-new horror action series The Bondsman starring Kevin Bacon. So, we are here to sort out all of the brilliant upcoming shows that you might want to check out.

The Bondsman (Prime Video) Release Date: April 3, 2025 Credit – Prime Video

The Bondsman is an action horror and dark comedy-drama series created by Grainger David. The Prime Video series follows Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter who is killed and comes back to life, but his job changes only a bit. He is now assigned to hunt demons who have escaped hell. The Bondsman stars Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Nettles, Beth Grant, Damon Herriman, Maxwell Jenkins, and Jolene Purdy.

Pulse (Netflix) Release Date:...

It’s only been a few days since Taylor Tomlinson ended her run as the only woman in late-night TV to host her own show solo. And it wasn’t because After Midnight, the show she had hosted on CBS, wasn’t successful: It had just been renewed for a third season earlier this month. But Tomlinson had been open all along about needing to be convinced to do the show, which she recently said would never be her “thing thing.” So when she decided she didn’t want to go to an office three days a week anymore — and CBS, presumably, didn’t throw enough money at her to make that more appealing than doing stand-up on the road — Tomlinson quit After Midnight, and CBS announced that it wouldn’t replace her. Instead, it would end After Midnight and stop trying to program the 12:30 a.m. time slot entirely.

Jake Shane is set to appear in “Hacks” Season 4, Variety has learned exclusively.

Shane will play the role of Social Media Girlie in the hit comedy’s fourth season, which will premiere on Max on April 10 at 9 p.m. Et. Per the official logline of the fourth season, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Shane is a comedian and podcast host with over 4.9 million followers across social media platforms. His podcast, “Therapuss with Jake Shane,” launched in January 2024. In their 2024 Wrapped report, Spotify identified “Therapuss” as the seventh most anticipated podcast launch in the U.S. among listeners.

Most recently, Shane starred alongside Alix Earle and Rob Rausch in the Super Bowl commercial for prebiotic soda brand Poppi. He is currently hosting his biggest tour to date, “Live with Jake Shane,” which will span more than 35 cities across North America.

With a legacy spanning decases, it's still inconceivable that anyone could dislike "The Princess Bride." Released in 1987, the fantasy romantic comedy was written by William Goldman (already a two-time Academy Award-winner for his work on "All the President's Men" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"), directed by Rob Reiner (then best known for directing "Stand By Me" the year prior), and featured a miraculously stacked cast. Though it did just okay at the box office, the film has since become a cult classic that -- in large part through the continued success of this cast -- retroactively vindicates those who were early champions of its brilliance.

Whether senior actor or child star, veteran of the screen or relative newcomer, everyone with a role in the core ensemble of "The Princess Bride" brings something wildly unexpected to their individual role no matter how small. Incidentally, the vast majority of these...

The most exciting part of movie-going for many is right before it starts, when you settle into your AMC Theaters recliner to watch Nicole Kidman remind us why we love the movies. Nevermind the popcorn, previews, or candy: Nicole Kidman makes movies better.

Of course, the actress has had a long and storied career prior to becoming the face of AMC Theaters. The Australian actress made her film debut at only 16-years-old, before her profile slowly began to rise in the late '80s and early '90s with films like "Dead Calm," "Days of Thunder," and "Billy Bathgate." By the end of the last decade of the millennium, Kidman had become an A-list celebrity, making tabloid headlines for her marriage with Tom Cruise, and even racking up Oscar nominations as an established and profitable movie star.

Over 40 years after her on-screen debut, Kidman still generates awards buzz and attention...

The advent of home video completely reshaped the movie business as we know it. Before VHS became prominent in the '80s, once a movie left theaters, the only way to capitalize on it later was occasional airings on TV, and there weren't even as many channels back then. The market was reinvented once again when DVDs were introduced in the mid-'90s, which made watching movies at home all the more convenient. "Be kind, rewind" was a thing of the past.

It may seem trite now, but DVD (aka Digital Video Disc) was revolutionary at the time. From easier access to better picture quality, and even special features, it was a game changer. But what was the first movie available for folks who picked up a DVD player? The most commonly accepted answer to that question is the '90s disaster movie classic "Twister.

‘Hacks S4’

The comedy series ‘Hacks’ is back with its fourth season, kicking off on April 10. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder lead the charge as Deborah and Ava, two women trying to launch a late-night show and shake things up in the process.

Helen Hunt just stunned fans with her makeup-free selfie.

The critically acclaimed actress has a ton of awards to her name. And she once starred in seemingly every major film, of the storm-chasing variety or otherwise.

So it’s odd to think of her own fans describing her as “unrecognizable.”

And yet, when you see the pic in question, you might understand.

André Holland is a busy man. His recent TV series The Big Cigar and Terminator Zero were great, and his new film The Actor is a personal favorite, a film noir masterpiece. He is also starring in this year's The Dutchman, Once Again... (Statues Never Die), and Love, Brooklyn, along with the film The Revisionist, which stars Holland alongside Dustin Hoffman, Alison Brie, and Tom Sturridge. Like The Actor, The Revisionist deals with the blurring of lines between art and life, truth and fiction, identity and performance; Holland plays the titular actor in The Actor and a writer in The Revisionist. Though, as Holland told MovieWeb in a recent interview, the two films are different in many ways.

"It's completely different, and it's still very much [happening]," said Holland (who is also currently attending Harvard Divinity School). "We just finished maybe six weeks ago, something like that, or maybe two months.

There's no one in our modern film landscape like Sydney Sweeney. In a culture where looks tend to dominate your level of success, Sweeney has devoured stereotypes -- because let's face it, she's stunning -- and ultimately has made a name for herself with the quality of her work both on and offscreen. Though she did her first TV and film stints way back in 2009, her career didn't truly start to pick up until nearly a decade later in 2018. Since then, she has completely taken the industry by storm as a performer and, even more recently, as a dedicated producer.

Sweeney doesn't have a ton of noteworthy credits to her name at this point in her career, but there's no denying she's already done some extremely memorable top-notch work, and there's even more in the pipeline with her upcoming turn as boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. From dramas to rom-coms,...

The idea behind "Freaky Friday" is a fantastically fun film formula, following a mother and daughter who switch bodies one Friday, forcing them to find new respect and empathy for one another through the experience. The most successful interpretation of the story was the 2003 Mark Waters movie, starring Lindsay Lohan as teenager Anna Coleman and Jamie Lee Curtis as her mother Tess, a widowed psychiatrist planning her wedding to new beau Ryan (Mark Harmon). It's a funny film with great performances from both Curtis and Lohan, who embrace the campier side of things and let the comedy run a bit wild. 

It's a tremendous amount of fun watching Curtis and Lohan pretend to be one another, and now we're going to get a chance to see them do it all over again. Just as "Freaky Friday" examined the challenges of being a teenager and a middle-aged mom, the upcoming sequel...

Matthew Broderick became one of the most beloved movie stars of the 1980s with iconic comedies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, thrillers like War Games, and acclaimed dramas like Glory. 1987's Project X, in which Broderick plays an air force pilot assigned to a suspicious top-secret military experiment involving chimps, unfortunately, didn't quite reach the same level of success as those other films. Despite this, it's one that still carries quite a positive reputation, with Broderick giving a likable performance alongside Helen Hunt. As it turns out, however, Broderick doesn't necessarily feel the same way. Unlike many other actors, he's never been one to express regrets about certain projects or speak out about any negative experiences he's...

Hacks will makes its return for its fourth season April 10. In the trailer, released Tuesday, tensions run high between Jean Smart’s seasoned comic Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder’s comedy writer Ava. The friction is palpable as Deborah and Ava walk down a corridor in the trailer in their (spoiler alert!) new roles: Deborah is a late-night talk show host, and Ava is the head writer on the show.

“Aren’t you a big brave girl?” Deborah says in the trailer.

“I guess I am,” Ava quips.

The fourth...

Max has released the official trailer announcing a release date for Hacks season 4. Since 2021, the Emmy-winning comedy series has chronicled the journey of veteran stand-up comic Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) as she enlists the help of recently canceled comedy writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) to revitalize her aging act. Together, they navigate both the comedy industry and their own personal struggles with plenty of ups and downs along the way. Hack season 4 will also feature Paul W. Downs, Carl Clemons-Hopkin, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, and Kaitlin Olson.

Now, Max has unveiled a new trailer confirming that Hacks season 4 will debut on April 10 at 9 pm Et. After various productions in Los Angeles were temporarily stalled following the wildfire, the comedy show will return with a season that promises more sharp wit, drama, and chaos as Deborah and Ava struggle to get along while trying to get their late-night show off the ground.

The Hacks season four trailer is loaded with hilarious Deborah Vance and Ava clips. The minute-and-a-half trailer captures the dysfunctional relationship between the two and teases their on-and-off partnership won’t be any less tumultuous in the upcoming season.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning series premiered in May 2021. Season two debuted on May 12, 2022, followed by season three on May 2, 2024. Season four will arrive on April 10, 2025, at 6pm Pt/9pm Et with the release of the first two episodes. New episodes of the 10-episode season will arrive on Thursdays.

HBO’s very short season four logline reads, “Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late-night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Emmy, Critics Choice Awards, and Screen Actors Guild awards winner Jean Smart leads the cast as Deborah Vance, and Critics Choice Award winner Hannah Einbinder stars as Ava.

Hacks is back — and earlier than ever before. Season 4 of the Emmy-winning comedy will premiere with two episodes on April 10 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, Max announced Tuesday, along with a trailer.

The rest of the 10-episode season will roll out with a single episode on Thursdays for four weeks, then Episodes 7 and 8 on May 15, Episode 9 on May 22, and the season finale on May 29 — right before the May 31 Emmy eligibility deadline. That's a tweak from previous seasons when the show would debut in May and air double episodes every week.

Season 4 will pick up in the aftermath of Ava (Hannah Einbinder) blackmailing Deborah (Jean Smart) to get the head writer job at the latter's new late-night show in the Season 3 finale. "Tensions rise as Deborah and Ava endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it," reads the logline.

“Hacks” is back.

Max has released the trailer and key art for the fourth season of “Hacks,” which debuts with a dual episode premiere on April 10 at 6 p.m. Pt.

The official logline for Season 4 reads, “Tensions rise as Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) endeavor to get their late-night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

In the trailer, we see Deborah and Ava walk out of a conference room, tensions boiling between them. “Well, aren’t you a big brave girl?” Deborah sneers. “I guess I am. It’s for the best,” Ava quips back. Deborah looks Ava directly in the eyes before calmly responding, “We’ll see.”

Joining Einbinder and Smart for Season 4 are Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, Dan Bucatinsky, Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, Lauren Weedman, Christopher McDonald, Poppy Liu, Lorenza Izzo, Johnny Sibilly,...

The fourth season of Hacks will join the crowded spring TV calendar as a number of shows set dates to get in under the wire of Emmy eligibility.

The Max comedy, which is the defending best comedy winner at the Emmys, will premiere April 10. The 10-episode season will follow Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) as they work to get their late-night show up and running amid rising tensions between the two of them. Max also released a trailer for the coming season, which is below.

In order to make the full season Emmy-eligible, Hacks will have a somewhat odd release schedule: Two episodes will stream on April 10, followed by one a week for four weeks afterward. Episodes seven and eight will both premiere on May 15, with the final two installments of the season coming May 22 and May 29. (The Emmy eligibility deadline for this year’s awards is May 31.)

Along with Smart and Einbinder,...
