Deborah Vance and Ava are back in the spotlight in the trailer for the upcoming season 3 of 'Hacks'. The dynamic between the two characters takes center stage as Ava struggles to move on after being let go by Deborah, who has since soared to new heights of fame and success.
Deborah, played by Jean Smart, has become a bona fide star with her special becoming a massive hit. When asked about her return to the top, Deborah confidently responds that she always knew she would make it back.
Meanwhile, Ava, portrayed by Hannah Einbinder, finds herself at a crossroads when she discovers that Deborah has hired not one, but two new writers to replace her. Despite feeling replaced and disappointed, Ava ends up face-to-face with Deborah at an event, leading to a tense yet comedic exchange between the two.
Ava eventually musters the courage to ask for another chance to work with Deborah, setting some ground rules, including a ban on jokes about her appearance. However, Deborah, true to her diva persona, finds a way to playfully tease Ava about her looks, showcasing their unique and complex relationship.
The trailer also teases guest appearances from Tony Goldwyn and J. Smith-Cameron, adding to the anticipation for the new season. Fans can mark their calendars for the premiere on May 2, with two episodes airing weekly until the finale on May 30.
The show's co-creators and showrunners, Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, continue to steer the Emmy-winning series towards new heights of comedy and drama.
