Hacks creators tease possible reboot after season 5 finale

The team behind Hacks is already hinting at a possible return, even as the show heads toward its final chapter.

As the Emmy-winning comedy prepares to wrap with Season 5, creators Paul W Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky addressed the future of the series, leaving the door open for more stories down the line. “We would never say never,” they said when asked about the possibility of revisiting the show in the future.

The cast and creators recently came together to celebrate the show’s final season, reflecting on its cultural impact and the journey of its central characters, Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels. The series, led by Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, has become one of HBO Max’s most acclaimed comedies, earning praise for its writing and performances.

Despite the emotional weight of ending the series, the creators emphasized that concluding with Season 5 felt like the right decision creatively. At the same time, their comments suggest that the world of Hacks could still be revisited in the future under the right circumstances.

The show’s final season is set to roll out weekly, building toward a highly anticipated finale that will close out Deborah and Ava’s evolving relationship, one that has remained at the heart of the series since its debut.

While nothing is officially in development, the message from the Hacks team is clear: this may be goodbye for now, but not necessarily forever.
