Created by Broad City scribes Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky, Hacks received tremendous acclaim when it debuted in 2021: bagging six Emmy nominations, three wins, and a Golden Globe.
It follows legendary comic Deborah Vance, whose manager pairs her with the young writer – and industry pariah – Ava Daniels, in an effort to freshen up her live comedy act.
As they workshop gags together on their cross-country road trip this season, Deborah is moments away from learning that Ava aired her dirty laundry to a TV company in the aftermath of a heated argument (and God help Ava when that happens). But, despite their often-antagonistic relationship, they both continue to grow and share heartfelt moments together.
Hacks is a caustic comedy not to be missed. Luckily for you, the below guide details how to watch Hacks season 2 online and stream every episode of this HBO Max Original series.
