'Hacks' Has Been Renewed for Season 5
Hacks fans have more than just tomorrow's finale to look forward to.
The hit Emmy-winning series starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will officially return for a fifth season. Here is everything we know so far.
Yes! On May 27, Hacks was officially renewed for a fifth season.
Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder celebrated the renewal in a video posted to the 'streamonmax' Instagram account. 'I'm so excited,' said Smart. 'Hacks just got officially picked up for season 5. I'm thrilled! Congratulations to my cast and everybody in the production. And to all of our Hacks fans out there, please join us again for season 5. Yay!'
Einbinder echoed those sentiments. 'It's official,' she said. 'We're coming back for season 5, baby! And don't worry, I will continue to pitch the lesbian arc.'
For those who closely follow the show, the announcement of a fifth season should come as no surprise. Last year, show creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky sat with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss their 'ideal' five-season plan for the series.
Statsky said that Smart was likely to be on board, saying, 'She's somebody who's like, 'Let's not dilute what it is. Let's make sure it stays high-quality.''
Downs agreed. 'When we first met with her, we talked about this plan without being too specific,' he said. 'She and Hannah both read the scripts as they are written. They don't want us to say, 'OK, here's what's happening this season.''
It's safe to say that Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will return as Deborah and Ava, respectively. Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter are also likely to reprise their roles.

No proof Jelly Roll announced he would invest $20M to create dog sanctuary and rescue
Around May 12, 2025, a claim circulated (archived) that the American rapper and singer Jelly Roll announced he would invest $20 million to create a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray dogs. (Facebook user IBa Jannant Eba) The claim read: BREAKING NEWS: Jelly Roll broke the internet with a shocking announcement: he will invest $20 million to build a "paradise" dedicated to rescuing stray dogs, promising love and homes to thousands of abandoned puppies Country music star Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, has long been celebrated for his heartfelt lyrics and philanthropic endeavors. Building upon his commitment to making a positive impact, Jelly Roll has announced plans to invest $20 million into creating a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray dogs. The claim appeared mainly on Facebook (archived) and Instagram (archived). Snopes readers wrote in to ask if it was true. However, we found no proof that the claim, though heartwarming, was true. There was no trace of the alleged announcement on Jelly Roll's official Instagram or TikTok pages. We also found (archived) no (archived) reports (archived) from credible news sources about the alleged $20 million investment. Additionally, text and two images that circulated with the claim showed signs of being the products of artificial intelligence (AI) software. We reached out to Jelly Roll's label Stoney Creek Records and representatives at AAE Music, the singer's booking agency, to ask if the claim was true. We await their replies. The claim about Jelly Roll's alleged dog sanctuary investment had the air of copypasta — a copied-and-pasted text shared online. Identical versions of the text on Facebook and Instagram were equally vague about the details of Jelly Roll's alleged investment. The text said nothing about where the alleged sanctuary would be built, the timeline for the project or whether it involved working with any established animal rescue groups. a website that can detect whether a sample of text was AI-generated, said the copy-pasted text was "most likely" generated by AI. Hive Moderation and Sightengine, two websites that can detect AI in photos, said it was highly likely that two photos from the post allegedly showing Jelly Roll embracing various dogs were AI-generated. Another photo of Jelly Roll that circulated with the claim was real. (Sightengine/Hive Moderation/ Illustration) Regardless of the truth of this particular claim, Jelly Roll is a confirmed dog owner. In 2024, he told (archived) the comedian Steve-O about Bussie the Bus Dog, a basset hound who became his longtime tour companion. Snopes has previously reported on claims that Taylor Swift refused to perform at a charity concert alongside artists including Jelly Roll. AI Detector - Trusted AI Checker for ChatGPT, GPT4 & Gemini.

'M.A.S.H' actress dead at 87
NEW YORK, N.Y. (WSAV) — Loretta Swit, the two-time Emmy Award-winning actress best known for her role as Major Margret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan on 'M.A.S.H.' has died. She was 87. Swit appeared in all but 11 episodes of the series, nearly four times longer than the Korean War itself. She pushed for a better representation for women. 'One of the things I liked, with Loretta's prodding, was every time I had a chance to write for her character, we'd get away from the Hot Lips angle and find out more about who Margaret was. She became more of a real person,' Alda told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. The CBS show aired for 11 years from 1972 to 1983, revolving around life at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, which gave the show its name. The two-and-a-half-hour finale on Feb. 28, 1983, was watched by over 100 million viewers, at the time the most-watched episode of any scripted series ever. 'M.A.S.H.' won a Peabody Award in 1975 'for the depth of its humor and the manner in which comedy is used to lift the spirit and, as well, to offer a profound statement on the nature of war.'
