Story details for Hacks season 2 have been revealed by the showrunners of the HBO series. 'What we were most interested in exploring was what it’s like for someone like [Deborah Vance] to keep bombing...'
The showrunners of HBO’s Hacks season 2 open up about the series, teasing story details for the highly anticipated upcoming season. Created by Broad City alums Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, the dark comedy follows two female comedians in opposite stages of their careers. Jean Smart stars as Deborah Vance, a sharp-tongued Las Vegas comedy diva, and Hannah Einbender plays Ava, Vance’s acerbic 25-year-old comedy writing assistant.
Last year, Hacks premiered to widespread acclaim, with critics praising the deft portrayal of the show biz underbelly and the leading duo’s chemistry. Indeed, Einbender and Smart are enticingly prickly scene partners, each woman displaying her reluctance of the other via snappy one-liners. Over the course of the first season, their generational and attitudinal clashes make way for genuine affection.
“What we were most interested in exploring was what it’s like for someone like her to keep bombing.
The showrunners also bring up a major season 1 cliffhanger. In the season finale, a spiteful Ava slanders Deborah via email to some Los Angeles producers before ultimately reconciling with her employer. Set to head out on the road together, the email will prove to be a ticking time bomb insSeason 2. The collection of tiny comedy clubs will be “really desolate places” for Ava, says Downs, leaving the young comedian vulnerable to potential retaliation from Deborah.
With trouble potentially on the horizon for Deborah and Eva, fans can look forward to more crackling scenes between the comedians. Even when the relationship is at its thorniest, the pair are always, in a sense, performing for each other, even if it’s in the form of ruthless roasting. Hacks especially showcases the venerable talents of Jean Smart, whose recent turns on other HBO series Mare of Easttown and Watchmen have sparked a renaissance for the character actress.
