HBO Max ordered a third season of the Jean Smart-Hannah Einbinder comedy two weeks after the Season 2 finale. "We feel like we have just told two chapters of a larger story," co-creator Lucia Aniello told Deadline at the time. "We feel like what we’ve done at the end of season two is just as much of a cliffhanger as what we did at the end of season one, considering what we intend to do with the story. We are really excited about how we want to continue." As Caroline Framke points out, the Season 3 renewal makes sense despite Season 2 looking like a perfect end point: "With so much of the show seemingly wrapped up in as neat a bow as these chaotic characters may ever have, some might have seen its Season 3 renewal as a bit of a surprise," says Framke. "But the key to what Hacks could do next may just lie in the rises and falls of Season 2, which blew everything from the first season up to find juicier opportunities in the rubble. If Season 3 does the same, Hacks will have more than enough material to work with without losing its grip on what makes it so good."
