Divas, rejoice — Hacks is finally back. Due to a few delays, it's been almost two years since viewers last saw Deborah and Ava, but the wait is finally over. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Hacks, including when to expect new episodes and how to catch up on old ones.
Hacks follows the complicated yet enduring relationship between an older Las Vegas comic, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), who lives out her days in a predictable but comfortable residency, and the younger writer, Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), whom she hires to punch up her set. The comedy tracks their close bond as they eventually work to reinvent Deborah's act.
At the end of Season 2, the duo's months of touring paid off when Deborah's new, honest hourlong stand-up special was a smash hit, and Ava, once a disgraced writer, was invited back into the LA fold. The last viewers saw of them, Deborah broke off their partnership to nudge Ava back into her work, to Ava's dismay. Season 3 picks up one year later as both women work to navigate their new career standings — and each other. J. Smith-Cameron, Tony Goldwyn, and Christina Hendricks are among this season's new guest stars.
Whether you're looking to watch the entire series for the first time or you're a longtime fan eager for Season 3, we'll show you everything you need to know about watching Hacks.
How to watch Hacks in the US
New episodes of Hacks stream on Thursdays on Max in the US. Season 3 premiered with a pair of new episodes on May 2. Two new episodes will drop weekly until the single-episode finale on May 30.

How to watch Hacks in the UK
While there's no news for Hacks' Season 3 arrival in the UK, the first two seasons are streaming on Prime Video. This is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, which costs £8.99 a month. The service also has a 30-day free trial if you're on the fence. We'll update this space if we learn anything about a Season 3 premiere date.
How to watch Hacks from anywhere
If you'll be traveling away from home when new episodes premiere, you can try keeping up via VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy ways to temporarily change your electronic device's virtual location so that you can access your usual websites and apps while abroad. Since the service we've outlined for Season 3 requires a US form of payment, this suggestion will be best for Americans who are simply traveling outside the US and looking to access their existing subscriptions.
If you're interested in trying out a VPN, our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, a user-friendly option that comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information and see below for details on how to use a VPN.
Hacks Season 3 trailer
Max dropped a trailer for Season 3 in April. While the video is careful not to give away too much, it's clear that Ava and Deborah reunite, although Ava attempts to lay out some new ground rules. Check out the full trailer below for a glimpse of what's to come this season:
