Hacks season 2 release date, teaser trailer, cast and more
Hit the road, Hacks season 2. The acclaimed HBO comedy is returning in a few weeks, as stand-up legend Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and up-and-coming writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) embark on a cross-country tour. We expect plenty of snarky jokes along the way.
Hacks season 1 began with an aging Deborah struggling to hold onto her long-running headlining gig in Las Vegas. Faced with becoming irrelevant, she was paired by her agent with millennial Ava to freshen up her act for a younger audience. Ava herself was looking to get her career back on track after getting quasi-canceled for an insensitive tweet.
An epic generation clash ensued, with the women trading barbs and insults. But as Ava dug into Deborah’s past work, she developed respect for the trailblazer. Meanwhile, Deborah reluctantly acknowledged that she had been playing it safe for too long.
Season 2 finds the women hitting the road to workshop Deborah’s new act. But what the older woman doesn’t (yet) know is that Ava emailed a drunken rant slandering her boss to a production company making a tell-all show.
Here’s everything we know so far about Hacks season 2.

HBO Max has set the Hacks season 2 release date for Thursday, May 12.

Hacks season 2 teaser trailer
The first Hacks teaser trailer is pure chaos. Set to Mama Cass’ “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” the preview has glimpses of Deborah throwing objects at Ava (maybe she found out about that email?), the two women shopping, riding in a boat and even dumpster-diving.
They high-five at one point, with Deborah smugly declaring, “You’re welcome.” Never change, Deborah.
