Hacks has been going strong for three seasons, and we’ll soon see Deborah and Ava embark on another adventure by each other’s side. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will reunite in the fourth season of the hit comedy series after Max announced its renewal.

Hacks chronicles the adventures of the Las Vegas comedy diva Deborah Vance (Smart) and a young comedy writer Ava Daniels (Einbinder), who was hired to help her reinvent her act. The show’s third season saw Deborah enjoying the success of her recent comedy special, and reuniting with Ava after deciding to seek new career opportunities.

In addition to Smart and Einbinder in the lead role, the supporting cast of Season 3 also included Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher McDonald, Christopher Lloyd, and Tony Goldwyn.

Universal Television president Erin Underhill praised the Hacks creators for “crafting a world as compelling and poignant as it is clever and funny”, adding they can’t wait to deliver more Hacks to fans around the world.

“We applaud our outstanding cast, who made it easy to fall in love with these flawed, hilarious, and deeply human characters, and we thank everyone at Max for a terrific partnership over the first three seasons and counting,” said Underhill in a statement.
