Hacks has added some exciting new guest stars to the cast of its upcoming fourth season.
The Emmy Award-winning comedy is set to return to Max later this year, while UK fans will be able to watch it on Sky after the broadcaster was recently made the official UK home for the show.
According to Variety, Jean Smart's legendary comedian Deborah Vance will be joined by a host of new faces in season four, including Boardwalk Empire's Julianne Nicholson, The Dropout's Michaela Watkins, Six Feet Under's Eric Balfour, Bresha Webb and Robby Hoffman.

Season four will see "tensions rise" as Deborah and Ava try to get the show off the ground and make history doing so.
The show's renewal was announced last year by Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Programming, who said at the time: "The creative team behind this singular show is not only brilliant but also a joy to work with. We couldn’t be happier to give viewers another season with Deborah, Ava, and the rest of the Hacks family.”
Hacks has gained critical acclaim across its run, currently boasting a near-perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes and winning multiple awards.
Hacks seasons 1-3 are available to watch on Max in the US and Sky and NOW in the UK. Season 4 will arrive later this year.
