Hacks is executive produced by Paul Downs, Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, Michael Schur, David Miner and Morgan Sackett.
“We congratulate Hacks' extraordinarily gifted executive producers and cast, and our partners at Universal Television,” HBO Max Head of Content Sarah Aubrey said in a statement. “We are overjoyed at the audience and press response to the new season, and glad to give viewers more of this gorgeous, hilarious, moving show.” ■
