The third installment faced some delays due to unfortunate events. The forthcoming season’s production started in November 2022 and stopped for a few weeks at the end of February 2023 as Jean Smart was recovering from a “successful heart procedure.” Production then resumed in March. The second delay was due to the strikes in Hollywood. The WGA strike ended on September 27, 2023, and the SAG/AFTRA strike was settled on November 9, 2023.

Storyline

Hacks Season 3 will explore Deborah and Ava’s post-separation lives. Following Deborah’s apparent breakup with Ava at the conclusion of Season 2, the next season will focus on Deborah’s recent achievements and Ava’s quest for independence. The upcoming season’s plot teases Jimmy’s entry into the talent agency as a talent agent and Ava’s line of work. Although Deborah is enjoying her success in Los Angeles as a triumphant stand-up comedy writer, predictably, Deborah and Ava will be drawn back to each other through a chance meeting in an elevator.

Trailer for Season 3

Max’s official YouTube channel dropped the trailer for Hacks Season 3 on March 1, 2024. The short teaser highlights key moments, like Ava and Deborah’s reunion in an elevator, and hints at the season’s hurdles with the song “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John.
