Hacks‘ Emmy-winning third season ended with everyone getting what they wanted.
Comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) became the new host of Late Night, a dream gig she’d once given up on, with her protégé-slash-punching bag Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) joining her as her head writer.
There’s just one problem. In the Season 3 finale, Hacks revealed that Deborah had originally lied about the network not wanting to give Ava the position. But in reality, it was Deborah who didn’t want her there for fear of rocking the boat too much. Ava retaliated by blackmailing Deborah into giving her the job, and with the release of the Season 4 trailer, we finally get a glimpse of what that aftermath will look like.
The trailer sees Deborah and Ava facing off everywhere from writers’ rooms to the Las Vegas Speedway. (My bet’s on Deborah for the racing win.) Plus, it gives a glimpse of what supporting characters Jimmy (Paul W. Downs), Kayla (Megan Stalter), Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins), and DJ (Kaitlin Olson) are up to. It seems like there will be a lot of celebrating Deborah’s talk show success, even if there is turmoil behind the scenes.
Hacks Season 4 premieres Apr. 10.
