What is the plot of Hacks Season 5?

There is no logline available for Hacks season 5 right now, but it’s expected to continue the ramifications of what happened in the season 4 finale. Deborah was faced with a fake obituary that made her realize that she needed to rewrite her own story, and so she (and Ava) moved back to the USA. The next season will surely follow the duo as they try to rehabilitate Deborah’s image and chart her legacy. 

Showrunner Paul W. Downs revealed how they are planning on continuing this thread (via TV Insider), “The only thing that’s going to lead your obituary is the greatest accomplishment of your career. And so to figure out what that is, post getting your white whale of late night, is not only a challenge for Deborah, it’s a challenge for us as writers. But we have a plan for it.”

Also, it’s assumed that season 5 will be the finale for this show as it’s the ideal length as per show creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky. They confirmed this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, with Downs saying, “Five would be ideal.” Jean Smart is also on board with this plan. Statsky said, “She’s also somebody who’s like, “Let’s not dilute what it is. Let’s make sure it stays high-quality.””
