The critically acclaimed comedy series Hacks is set to conclude with its fifth season. Hannah Einbinder, one of the show’s stars, confirmed that the series would be ending during her appearance on the Emmys red carpet this past Sunday.
Einbinder shared with E!, “I think it will feel different. We’re going to start next week, and knowing it’s the last season is really bittersweet. But I think it’s right, you know? It’s nice to do something as many times as it should be done. Not overstay your welcome. Rip it and do it and laugh and cry.”
She emphasized, “You can quote me on that. I’m going on the record on that.”
The show’s creators, Jen Statsky, Lucia Aniello, and Paul W. Downs, had previously indicated that they envisioned Hacks as a five-season show. earlier in the year, Downs told Variety that the writing team was unsure if Season 5 would be the absolute end.
Downs stated, “We are now breaking up Season 5, and we have to see how many episodes it will take us to get to where we certainly know we’re going to go. The final scene of the final episode has been in our minds as 2015,and we’re excited to get there. But that may take more episodes than we can fit in the season. So the truth is that we don’t know.”
In May,HBO Max renewed Hacks for its fifth season just before the Season 4 finale.Rolling Stone has called the show “one of the most beloved comedies in recent years” and “one of the funniest shows on TV.”
