Plot
Fresh off her final middling performance, Deborah plans a nationwide tour to perfect the material. Ava is wracked by guilt because of the email she sent to two British television producers detailing Deborah's problematic behavior. Marcus copes with his breakup by getting a puppy, Joe. He begins partying with a group of younger gay men.
Jimmy gets Kayla switched off his desk by HR rep Barbara, by agreeing to attend an anger management course. Jimmy meets with Janet Stone, the British producers' manager. She initially agrees the email will remain confidential, but turns on him when she discovers he backed out of buying her home. Jimmy appeals to his boss, Kayla's father, for help. He agrees, but asks Jimmy to bring Kayla back on as his assistant.
During a visit to Sedona to see Deborah's psychic, Ava confesses that she sent the email. Deborah is livid. Jimmy informs Ava that Deborah is suing Ava for violating her NDA.
Deborah, Ava, and Damien head out together on Deborah's tour bus, managed by "Weed". Ava buys a "dumb phone" and vows to be sober, determined to turn over a new leaf. Deborah defends Ava when Weed accidentally throws out Ava's father's remains. They backtrack to a fast food dumpster and find the ashes.
Marcus accidentally books Deborah a gig on a lesbian cruise, where Ava is immediately taken with a non-monogamous lesbian couple. Deborah's gig on the cruise starts strong but is derailed when she makes a misogynistic joke.
One night Marcus returns from the club to find that Joe has ingested some of his prescription medication. The emergency vet treats the dog but refuses to release him back into Marcus's care. Marcus is distraught, so Deborah invites him to join them on tour.
At a tour stop in the Midwest, Deborah runs into one of her old stand-up friends, Susan Essig, who is now working at Lord & Taylor. Deborah feels guilty because years ago she sabotaged Susan at a stand-up showcase. She confesses to Susan, who states that she actually quit comedy due to an unplanned pregnancy. Ava and Marcus bond at the State Fair.
While at a show in Memphis, Ava's mother surprises the group by showing up. Ava argues with her about her involvement in an MLM scheme. Deborah goes home with Jason, a much younger man she meets at a bar.
Deborah plans to tape a stand-up special with the confessional material. She enlists her old friend Elaine Carter to direct, and she meets with network executives in Los Angeles but is dissatisfied with the one offer she receives. Jimmy quits Latitude when the partners try to re-assign Deborah to a different manager. Kayla goes with him. Deborah vows to produce the special herself. Marty agrees to let her use the Palmetto to film the special. Deborah is surprised to learn that he's engaged to his age-appropriate girlfriend.
Ava's old friend Taylor invites Ava to do a short-term writing gig in LA that will overlap with Deborah's taping. Deborah encourages her to take the opportunity. The night of the special, Ava surprises Deborah by flying back early to be there. During the taping, an audience member has a cardiac event. He is rushed out by the paramedics but dies on the gurney. Jimmy lies about his health and the rest of the performance finishes smoothly.
Deborah's DVD release of the special, My Bad, sells out in minutes on QVC. Jimmy informs Deborah that there is a bidding war for the rights to the special.
At the network's release party, Deborah publicly thanks Ava for her work on the special. That night she fires Ava so Ava can develop her own career. Back in Los Angeles, Jimmy informs her that Deborah has dropped the lawsuit.

Ava, however, is racked with guilt after getting confirmation that her nasty email about Deborah was received by the British writers. Jimmy begs Ava to not say anything, fearing Deborah's wrath if she found out. Ava also receives half of her father's ashes in a tennis ball holder. Jimmy and Kayla meet with HR manager Barbara after a hotel room incident during their Las Vegas trip to Deborah's final show. The higher-ups (which include Kayla's father) dismiss the complaint, but Barbara coyly suggests that she report Jimmy for "anger issues" so Barbara can move Kayla to a new assignment. Deborah and Ava attend an MMA fight at the Palmetto to support Aiden, DJ's husband. Deborah is speechless when she bumps into Marty at the event with his new, age-appropriate girlfriend.

| Ava is unnerved by Deborah's generosity during their road trip. Jimmy attempts to bury Ava's email by meeting Janet Stone, the talent agent who manages the British writers. The meeting backfires and Janet even threatens to send the email to TMZ. A desperate Jimmy turns to Kayla's father, who will only help if Jimmy takes back Kayla as his assistant. Jimmy accepts, loses his new effective assistant, and is still committed to taking the year-long anger management program. Deborah takes Ava to see her psychic in Sedona, and the psychic predicts a cosmic wrecking ball heading Deborah's way, which Deborah interprets as her new material taking the world by storm. Unable to hold in the truth any longer, Ava confesses to Deborah about her email that the British writers plan to use in their show. Deborah becomes enraged when she learns Helen Mirren will be the show's leading actress, essentially confirming that the show will make it to air.

Despite everything, Deborah does not fire Ava, but Ava receives a call from Jimmy that Deborah is suing her for breaking her NDA. | ||||||

Marcus continues to miss Wilson and buys a new puppy to help with the loneliness. Weed unwittingly throws out Ava's tennis ball canister (with her father's ashes in them), mistaking it for trash. Deborah forces Weed to turn the bus around so Ava can find them, missing a sold-out Oklahoma City show in the process. Ava thanks Deborah for her act of kindness, and resolves to spread the ashes around the country after talking with Ray. | ||||||

| Ava is apprehensive about joining Deborah on a gay cruise, fearing the water and being unable to swim. Deborah is excited about the cruise gig and plans to use her original routines. However, Deborah is thrown for a loop when she discovers Marcus accidentally booked the gig on a cruise that is exclusively for lesbians, who do not "get" her material. She is more rattled when she receives a FaceTime call from Marty, which ends up being a pocket-dial accident. Ava enjoys her newfound popularity on the cruise and helps Deborah adapt to her new surroundings. Deborah's show starts off on the right note, but she blows it when she picks on an audience member and makes one blunder after another. Deborah is asked to leave the cruise via a dinghy, taking Ava with her. A lonely Marcus continues to flounder, pushing his mother away and clubbing all night. He runs into Wilson while high on MDMA and proclaims his love for him. He returns home to find his puppy has consumed some of his Adderall, and immediately takes him to the veterinarian.

Deborah later confesses to Ava that she sabotaged Susan's career out of fear for her own. Deborah comes clean to Susan at the fair, but Susan tells her she stopped performing because she didn't want to sacrifice her future family for a showbiz career.

Production
Co-creator Paul W. Downs discussed the focus of season two: "What we were most interested in exploring was what it’s like for someone like her to keep bombing,” Downs said. “It might be something novel and might be something exciting in the beginning, but someone like her who has fans that come to see her, and sells out a 2,000-seat theater in Vegas and crushes, what is it like when you’re on the road in small venues and not doing well?"[1] Downs and co-creators Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky wanted to continue to feature Kayla and Jimmy's dynamic, as well as show a more vulnerable side to Deborah by giving her a lover.[2] Of the season finale, Aniello stated, "We feel like we have just told two chapters of a larger story. We feel like what we’ve done at the end of season two is just as much of a cliffhanger as what we did at the end of season one, considering what we intend to do with the story."[3]
Production designer Alec Contestabile oversaw production of over 130 new sets for the season, which primarily takes place during Deborah's stand-up tour.[4]
Season two has a total of eight episodes.[5] The trailer for season two was released on April 14, 2022.[6] The first two episodes debuted on HBO Max on May 12, 2022.[6] Hacks was renewed for a third season on June 16, 2022.[7]
Reception
Critical reception
The second season received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 100% based on 53 critic reviews, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Hacks hits the road, but Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder remain very much at home with each other in a sterling sophomore season that finds novel ways to deepen the central pair's lovable friendship."[8] On Metacritic, it received a score of 88 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[9]
Danette Chavez wrote positively of the season in TheWrap, "Hacks remains one of the most consummately funny shows on TV, defying the sophomore slump to uncover ever more trenchant truths about ambition, failure, and the blurring line between work and family."[10] Caroline Framke praised the direction in a review for Variety: "Still, as funny as “Hacks” is, and as poignant as it can be, the show’s most enduring strength is still its directing. Honed so brilliantly by Aniello, from some of the best “Broad City” episodes until her “Hacks” Emmy win, it finds surreal and beautiful moments no matter the circumstance."[11] RogerEbert.com's Brian Tallerico noted the acting of star Jean Smart: "The range of her work in “Fargo,” “Watchmen,” and now “Hacks” is stunning, and the character she’s crafting on this HBO Max Emmy winner for directing, writing, and actress could be career-defining."[12]
Accolades
Season two received 17 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Jean Smart, which she won for the second year in a row.[4]
