82 Hacks: Season 1

New comedy series debuts May 13 on HBO Max. Created by Broad City alumni Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky and produced by Parks & Rec's Mike Schur, Hacks stars Jean Smart as a fading Las Vegas stand-up comic who—while on the verge of losing her career—becomes an unlikely mentor to a young comedy writer played by Hannah Einbinder. Kaitlin Olson and Carl Clemons-Hopkins also star in the 10-episode comedy, which will roll out with two episodes per week.
