Max is ramping up their spring slate. The highly anticipated third season of Hacks is coming, we’ve known for a while, but now we know exactly when. The streamer announced last week that new episodes of the Jean Smart-led comedy will start streaming on May 2.

On that day, the first two of the nine episodes of Hacks Season 3 will be available to watch on the platform. The episodes will be released in groups of two every week, with a three-season finale on May 30. In addition, the first trailer of the new season has been released:
The series follows a legendary comedian from Las Vegas, played by Jean Smart, as she mentors an aspiring, yet slightly entitled 25-year-old, played by Hannah Einbinder. The new season will pick up after a slight turn of events in the last episode, and continue to explore the relationship between both main characters.

Max’s slate for the spring also includes the new series The Girls on the Bus, as well as the HBO series The Sympathizer, which will mark Robert Downey Jr.’s next project following his inevitable Oscar win this Sunday. House of the Dragon season 2 will premiere on HBO, and be available to stream immediately after on Max, in the month of June.
