Hacks is back. HBO Max has unveiled the official teaser and release date for Season 2 of the Emmy Award-winning dramedy, which is slated to return on May 12th. Set to Cass Elliot’s 1969 classic “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” the clip might not divulge much about plot specifics, but there’s sure to be plenty of fun along the way.
Hacks Season 2 sees the dark mentorship between legendary Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and her young, entitled writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) continue to evolve as the pair travel across the country workshopping Deborah’s new stand-up act, getting into a lot of mischief in the meantime.
Returning alongside Smart and Einbinder are cast regulars Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Jane Adams, Christopher McDonald, Kaitlin Olson, Paul W. Downs, Poppy Liu, Rose Abdoo, Mark Indelicato, Meg Stalter, Angela E. Gibbs, Luenell, Johnny Sibilly, Joe Mande, Ally Maki, and Lorenza Izzo.
