Dance Mom Speaks! How Hacks Recruited Julianne Nicholson To Play A Kooky Influencer This Season

Anyone who’s accustomed to seeing Julianne Nicholson in melancholy roles like Ivy Weston from August: Osage County or Lori Ross from Mare of Easttown were no doubt shocked — albeit delightfully — to see her cutting the rug as a quirky influencer this season on Hacks. Affectionately named Dance Mom, Nicholson’s character is recruited by Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) and Kayla (Megan Stalter) to perform on Deborah’s (Jean Smart) fledging late-night show. In the meantime, Nicholson is halfway through production on the second season of Paradise, in which she plays a mastermind named Sinatra who’s behind the mysterious underground city that saw its president [James Marsden] assassinated in the first episode.
