After a long wait, all seasons of Hacks are now available to watch in the UK.

The third season of the award-winning comedy series has launched on Sky and streaming service NOW today, in a first for UK audiences after it was previously released in the US in May 2024.

Hacks centres on the character of Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart), a legendary comedian in Las Vegas who needs to keep her act relevant or risk losing her casino residency.

Her path then crosses with Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), a comedy writer who is struggling to find work, and the unlikely pair bond and the inevitable magic happens...

The broadcaster is now the official UK home for the show, with the fourth season also on the way later this year.

What to Read Next

Hacks has gained critical acclaim across its run, currently boasting a near-perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes and winning multiple industry nods and accolades.

This Sky acquisition comes just after the show's win for Best Television Series in the Musical or Comedy category at the 2025 Golden Globes. Jean Smart was also recognised as Best Actress in the same category this year, having previously won awards for her performance in the show (including at the SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards).

Reviews of Hacks' third season largely agree that the show remains on top form.

Time wrote: "Hacks hits its stride in a third season that's even better than the first two", while The Daily Beast called it a "a major triumph."

The Guardian has branded Hacks "TV's best comedy" in its review of season three, and it topped a number of round-ups of the best shows of 2024.

Hacks seasons 1-3 are now available on Sky and NOW in the UK, and Hacks season 4 will arrive later this year.
