Created by Jen Statsky, Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs, the series follows legendary Las Vegas stand-up comedian Deborah Vance. She must show the importance of her performance.

Later, the two team up to make new changes in Deborah’s life while respecting their space.
Has Hacks Season 2 been renewed yet?
As mentioned above, the first season debuted in May 2021 and shortly after a month, HBO renewed Max Hacks for the second season. In June 2021, Jean Smart, who plays Deborah Vance, said he was delighted to hear that the network has ordered a new set of episodes.
