Deborah Vance is back with a bang, baby! Although it seems, sadly, without an Ava. But just how long can these two comedians keep away from each other?

With both of their stars on the rise, there is nothing smaller than the world of Hollywood – but will they have a happy or tempestuous reunion?

Here's everything you need to know about the future of the comedy favourite.

    Hacks season 3 plot: What will happen?

    When Hacks season three returns, there's a lot that still needs answering, as well as whatever is developed over the new batch of episodes.

    Deborah is revelling in the success of her comedy special, which she had risked everything by self-financing and doing off her own back.

    Thankfully, it paid off, and after it was snapped up by a streaming service, her career has been given a whole new lease of life.

    However, after seeing how Ava was holding herself back in order to keep working with her, Deborah was cruel to be kind and fired her, wanting her to seize the career she wants and deserves.

    Elsewhere, DJ is still going through IVF in an attempt to have a child, and Jimmy and Kayla are trying to figure out how to work together as partners after life as manager and (completely put upon) assistant.

    Hacks season 3 trailer: When can I see it?

    While there is no sign of a trailer just yet, there is at least plenty of comedy to be had by deep-diving YouTube.

    The team have created hours of specials, behind-the-scenes clips, and sketches for our viewing pleasure.

    We're starting you off with Meg Stalter attempting to interview the rest of her cast mates... not as easy as it looks, is it?!

    Hacks is now available on Prime Video in the UK.
