As Deborah Vance returns for her swan song on Hacks, the cast and creators gathered to give the HBO Max show a proper send-off.
On Wednesday, the fifth and final season premiered in Los Angeles, where stars Hannah Einbinder, Jean Smart, Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs were in attendance, along with Downs’ co-creators Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky.
Also in attendance were Kathy Griffin, Trisha Paytas, Diane Warren, Jesse McCartney and more.
Premiering Thursday on HBO Max, Season 5 of Hacks reunites Einbinder’s Ava Daniels with comedy icon Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), who plans to sell out Madison Square Garden with her first stand-up show after being legally barred from performing over breaking her late-night contract.
