HBO Max has renewed the multi-Emmy® Award-winning comedy series HACKS for a third season. The series’ first season received many accolades including awards from AFI, Peabody, Critics Choice, DGA, SAG®, WGA and GLAAD.

Downs, and Jen Statsky” The Wrap adds it “remains one of the most consummately funny shows on TV.” Variety effuses about Aniello’s directing, writing “honed so brilliantly…[Aniello] finds surreal and beautiful moments.” Season two’s debut marked a new daily high for the series, 125% above its season one debut day last year.
