Everyone's favorite comedian Deborah Vance is back and riding high off the success of her standup special in the latest season of "Hacks".

Season 3 of the Emmy award-winning and critically acclaimed comedy series that explores the dark mentorship between a legendary stand-up comedian and young, entitled comedy writer, returned to Max earlier this month on May 2.

USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler gave the new season ★★★½, writing: "After a slightly lackluster second season in 2022, which seemed to tie up the story in a bow too soon, creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky found the right way to continue the series about an aging comedienne and her young writer. And while so many other shows go dark and depressing, "Hacks" has delightfully chosen joy, and (of course) some insult comedy from [Jean] Smart's Deborah Vance."

While Season 2 of the series saw Deb and Ava parting ways, they reunite as friends in the new season, after some forgiveness. There is also a chance that the two even work together again, series creators Jen Statsky teased in an interview with USA TODAY, adding that in Season 3 “Deborah is going after her biggest goal yet": host of a late-night TV talk show.
