Hannah Einbinder and ‘Hacks’ Creators On the Season 3 Showdown, Where Season 4 Begins and Ava’s ‘F— A– Bob’


The cast and creators of "Hacks" discuss that final showdown for Season 3 and what's going to happen next.

Named by the episode director and series co-creator Lucia Aniello, never has a haircut heralded a shift in power dynamics quite like Ava’s (Hannah Einbinder) new look, which debuted right before the credits rolled. It was very specifically scripted, and it’s a scene where there was no improvisation because we did work for a very long time on striking that balance that would both provoke Ava to do what she does in the final moments, but also feel like it was true to both characters also.” Perhaps that emotional fallout also inspired the 17 Emmy nominations, including a nod for best comedy series, the show received.Both Smart and Einbinder were reluctant to rehearse the big moment on set too much, which is common for “Hacks.”
