Hacks Season 3 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

Hacks Hacks Hacks! The Max (formerly known as HBO Max) original series about the generational divide between two flawed stand-up comedians, starring Jean Smart and

Hannah Einbinder, is back for a third season. So you don't fall behind, here's a handy dandy guide to when new episodes of Hacks Season 3 are available.

There's a lot to look forward to this season. At the end of Season 2, Deborah Vance and Ava were kind of separated. Ava took a writing job. Deborah's special is a hit after DVDs sell out on QVC of all places. However, Deborah dropped the lawsuit against Ava for breaking her NDA–so while they may not be working together there is hope of reconciliation. Anything can happen now! And if you weren't already excited for the return of the dynamic duo and the rest of the Hacks family, Season 3 also has an impressive roster of guest stars, including: Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Bucatinsky, George Wallace, Tony Goldwyn, Aristotle Athari, and J. Smith Cameron.

When does Hacks premiere?

The third season of Hacks premieres on May 2 on Max. Two episodes will drop at once, both written by co-creator Lucia Aniello. The first is titled "Just for Laughs" and the second is titled "Better Late."

How many episodes of Hacks are there?

Two episodes drop on May 2, and the season will have nine episodes total. The first season had ten episodes and the second had eight episodes. That's kind of random, don't you think? No rules! No consistency! Do your thing, Hacks...

When does the next episode of Hacks drop?

New episodes, two at a time until the finale, will drop on Thursdays. That means that the finale will be on May 30. This is just a five week-long little treat. I really wish they didn't do that! It would be so nice to talk about a show for months and months, like the old days. Alas...

What time are the drops, you ask? Typically with Max you can expect new episodes at 3 a.m. EST, which is midnight PST. If you really want to stay up late on Wednesday night for your weekly Hacks fix, go for it!
