Two years after its second season, Hacks is finally back for Season 3. This season of the Emmy-winning show will see a meta storyline following Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) as she works as a writer on an acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning TV series. Some new cast members will be joining the Emmy-nominated series, and some old faces will be returning for the third season.
If you’re looking to watch Hacks Season 3 when it airs — or you need to catch up with Seasons 1 and 2 — read on. Below is a quick guide on where to stream every season of Hacks, plus key details about the new season.
Where to Watch Hacks Season 3 Online
Hacks Season 3 is streaming on Max (formerly HBO Max), so you’ll need a subscription to the streaming service to watch the series online (fans can also buy episodes or seasons of Hacks on Prime Video). Read on for a breakdown of all the different ways to get Max:
Watch Hacks Season 3 on Max
Max offers three subscription tiers: With Ads, Ad-Free, and Ultimate Ad-Free. The With Ads plan costs just $9.99 a month, but only allows streaming on up to 2 devices at once and, obviously, makes you watch ads during content. The Ad-Free plan, which costs $15.99 a month, removes those advertisements and lets you download some content to watch offline. Ultimate Ad-Free lets you stream simultaneously on up to 4 devices, download up to 100 titles, and stream in 4K UHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10 on select titles. Ultimate Ad-Free costs $19.99 a month.
All of these Max plans can also be billed annually, which will save you anywhere from 16% to 20% compared to a year with a monthly plan. The With Ads annual plan is $99.99 a year (16% savings), the Ad-Free plan is $149.99 a year (over 20% savings), and the Ultimate Ad-Free plan is $199.99 a year (over 16% savings).
Watch Hacks Season 3 on Prime Video
Hacks is also available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, but you’ll need to either purchase episodes or seasons individually or sign up for Max through Prime Video. Prime Video offers Max With Ads and Max Ad-Free plans. Pricing is the same as it is through the Max website, but your bill will be added to your monthly Prime subscription.
When Does Hacks Season 3 Come Out?
Hacks Season 3 premieres on May 2 with a double-episode release. Two episodes will be released each week after that, until May 30 when the finale will be released by itself. Here’s the full schedule of release for Hacks Season 3:
