‘Hacks’ Co-Creators Tease Upcoming Talk Show Storyline Details and Reveal They’re Back to Doing 10 Episodes in Season 4


Awards Circuit Podcast: Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky are behind "Hacks," which earned 16 Emmy noms. Now they're busy with Season 4.

Season 3 ended on a sharp note as Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) lands her holy grail, a late night talk show — and then refuses to give her protégé Ava (Hannah Einbinder) the head writer job. Aniello, Downs and Statsky met up with Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast to talk all about what’s in store next for “Hacks,” while also looking back at their Emmy-nominated Season 3, which most critics agree was the Max comedy’s strongest yet. Variety’s “Awards Circuit” podcast, hosted by Clayton Davis, Jazz Tangcay, Emily Longeretta, Jenelle Riley and Michael Schneider, who also produces, is your one-stop source for lively conversations about the best in film and television.
