'Hacks' has officially been renewed for season 5 on HBO Max
The finale episode of "Hacks" season 4 will hit HBO Max on Thursday, May 29 but if you're already starting to miss the biting, brilliant banter between Jean Smart's Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder's Ava Daniels, we've got good news:
The Emmy-winning comedy will return for season 5, per an official announcement this week from the streaming service.
The renewal isn't entirely shocking: The fourth season of the acclaimed comedy series, which debuted on April 10, has been the series' most-watched so far, with each episode's viewership seeing week-over-week growth both domestically and globally, reports Variety. On Rotten Tomatoes, the fourth season holds a stellar 97% approval rating.
And "Hacks" — which centers on a legendary Las Vegas-based stand-up comedian (played by six-time Emmy winner Smart) and her complicated professional and personal relationship with a young comedy writer (Einbinder) — is certainly an awards darling, with the show adding to its already jam-packed trophy collection by winning Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing and a Lead Actress honor for Smart's star performance last year.

Of the renewal news, Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming, said: 'Yes! More! We congratulate 'Hacks' singularly talented cast and crew and our great partners at Universal Television.'
'Like Deborah Vance herself, 'Hacks' only gets bolder, sharper, and more iconic with time," added Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, in a statement, joining in on the congratulations. "We're beyond thrilled to keep the laughter rolling with Jen, Paul, Lucia, our extraordinary cast and crew, and our partners at Max.'
Given that "Hacks" season 4 hasn't yet finished airing on Max, there's no official word yet on when the fifth season will drop on the streamer. However, in an era of exceptionally long waits between TV seasons (we're looking at you, "Bridgerton"), "Hacks" is graciously one of the few shows with a consistent yearly production cycle, which means it seems likely that we'll get to see new hijinks from Deborah, Ava and the gang sometime in spring 2026.

Along with Smart and Einbinder, the cast of "Hacks" includes Paul W. Downs (who also created the series alongside Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky), Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato and Rose Abdoo in the main ensemble, with folks like Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Helen Hunt, Julianne Nicholson, Jane Adams, Dan Bucatinsky, Tony Goldwyn, Jimmy Kimmel and the iconic Carol Burnett popping up in memorable supporting roles and guest appearances. Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to "Hacks" season 5, including plot details, casting notices, teaser trailers and more. Stay tuned!

'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.'

Dior Confirms Maria Grazia Chiuri's Departure and Brain Dead Opens Inaugural NYC Outpost in This Week's Top Fashion News
Below, Hypebeast has rounded up the top fashion stories of the week so you can stay up to date on trends in the industry. Early on Thursday,Maria Grazia Chiuriannounced her departure as the creative director ofDior's womenswear and couture lines, ending her nine-year tenure at the French fashion house. The news broke just days after her Cruise 2026 show in Rome, now understood to be her final collection for the house. In 2016, Chiuri made history when she became the first woman to lead Dior since its founding in 1947. Delphine Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of Christian Dior Couture shared, 'I extend my warmest thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, since her arrival at Dior, has accomplished tremendous work with an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which allowed her to design highly desirable collections.' Her tenure was characterized by a distinctly feminist perspective, pushing empowering slogans and collaborating extensively with female artists for her runway show scenography. While her successor has yet to be officially named, rumors suggest thatJonathan Anderson, who was recently confirmed as the creative director for Dior Men, may also take over the womenswear line. The Los Angeles-based creative collectiveBrain Deadhas inaugurated its first retail outpost in New York City, located at 202 Elizabeth Street. The expansion from the West Coast marks a major step for the brand, establishing its presence on the East Coast and offering a physical hub for its diverse community of fans and collaborators. The new store features a playful interior design imbued with eclectic details, including a large hippo art sculpture and fixtures adorned with 3D-printed ornamentation. The move to open a flagship store in New York City reflects Brain Dead's growing community and its affinity for immersive brand experiences. Expected to serve as more than just a retail space, the store functions as a physical hub of the collective's ethos, bridging different worlds, scenes, and perspectives under one roof, much like their existing Brain Dead Studios on Fairfax Street in Los Angeles. Jacquemushas brought all of its business matters under one roof with its very own holdings company, Jacquemus La Maison Mère. Formally founded in March and chaired by designerSimon Porte Jacquemus, the Paris-based company presently operates two branches: Jacquemus La Mode, or the label's ready-to-wear business valued at €530 million EUR, and Jacquemus La Beauté, or the brand's beauty line valued at €46.1 million EUR, per Fashion Network. The entity holds 98.15% of the former and 100% of the latter, which, together, are valued at €576.1 million EUR. It was February when Jacquemus entered its an exclusive beauty partnership withL'Oréalas the French cosmetics conglomerate acquired a 10% minority stake in the company. The following month, Jacquemus appointed Sarah Benady, previously president ofCelineNorth America, as its new chief executive officer to lead the company toward '[becoming] a leading global luxury house.' As Jacquemus continues to eye international growth, Jacquemus La Maison Mère lays the foundation for an ever-expanding brand world that's increasingly reaching into other product categories. Following his star-studded debut atParis Fashion Weeklast January, Mexican-American menswear designerWilly Chavarriais among the prestigiousANDAM Fashion Awards2025 finalists for the Grand and Special Prizes. Joining Chavarria is French mens labelEGONlab, which won the Pierre Bergé Prize in 2021, and three women's designers: Alain Paul, Meryll Rogge, and Zomer. Founded in 1989 by Nathalie Dufour, with the French Ministry of Culture, ANDAM was conceived as an incubator initiative and accolade for assisting young emerging designers on the French and international scene. On this year's selection, Dufour said, 'Whatever their level of development, whether nascent or more established brands, the need for liquidity is a fundamental topic to ensure their perenity,' in a statement for WWD. 'The profiles selected also offer an interesting vision of the different economic models that can be invented to stand out and carve a space in a very competitive industry: B2C strategy, niche positioning, and managed growth, innovative and ecologically committed.' The 2025 ANDAM Fashion Award ceremony will be held on June 20 at 7 pm CEST. As menswear designers, buyers, journalists, and aficionados prepare to gather for the 108th edition ofPitti Uomoat Florence's Fortezza da Basso, Asia-based designers are making a bigger splash than ever. From June 17 to 20, the event will showcase the Spring/Summer 2026 collections of over 730 brands in a winding exhibition-like trade show, and it will host a series of runway presentations from several designers. Those will include previously announced guest of honorHomme Plissé Issey Miyake, guest designersPAF(Post Archive Faction) and Niccolò Pasqualetti, and now,Children of the Discordance. The brand, launched in 2011 by Hideaki Shikama, has established a distinct aesthetic, incorporating sophisticated craftsmanship into deconstructed streetwear, and reworked materials. In collaboration with the Japan Fashion Week Organization, Pitti Uomo has brought on the Hideaki Shikama-led brand to host a 'Special Event' during the trade fair, which will include a runway show, on June 17. Demna-founded Swiss labelVetementshas lost its years-long battle to trademark its brand name in the US. According to a report from The Fashion Law, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) refusals for 'VETEMENTS to be trademarked on May 21, stating that the term 'vetements,' the French word for 'clothing,' is generic when used for garments and retail services. Due to French being a commonly spoken and taught language in the U.S., and the word 'vetements' is directly descriptive of the clothing goods at issue, the court affirmed the Board's decision, according to the report. Regardless of the brand's acquired significance, the USPTO will not accept any further evidence supporting the appeal. The brand, started by siblings Demna andGuram Gvasaliain 2014, attempted to secure a U.S. trademark registration for apparel and online retail services in 2020.
