The Hacks Legacy: A Final Salute from Cast and Creators
You might think this is new, but… ‘Hacks’ has been a five-season journey since 2021. And now it’s time for the final bow.
Hannah Einbinder, playing Ava Daniels in ‘Hacks’, expressed her deep appreciation to co-creators Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky, and Lucia Aniello. “I love this picture,” she captioned a photo of them all. “It’s a good representation of how we feel about each other.”
Ava’s Real-Life Inspiration
Einbinder revealed that Ava was not just a character; it was also her own journey to stardom. “I remember reading the audition scene and thinking, damn. I wanna chill with her. She would be my best friend for sure.” This shows how much Einbinder connected with the character.
Creator’s Reflections
Paul W. Downs shared his own reflections on creating ‘Hacks’. “In 2019, Jen, Lucia and I decided to get an Airbnb in Paris to write the pilot of Hacks,” he recounted. “We laughed a lot. 7 years later we went back to shoot the finale. On our last day I was getting nostalgic and looked back at the photos of our first trip.” Downs noted that they filmed this week’s finale on the same street where they wrote the pilot, which is “completely by coincidence.”
“Not sure what that means but… ‘through that randomness we can totally receive meaning,’” added Downs. This personal touch underscores the show’s human connections and the deep bond between the creators and cast.
The Finale Countdown
The Hacks finale will hit HBO Max on May 28, 2024. Einbinder and the rest of the cast are eager to wrap up this incredible journey with a heartfelt final season. The show has made everything in their lives possible, from touring and standup specials to cementing them as actors.
“Hacks is about the love you share with your comedic collaborators,” added Einbinder. “I feel like the luckiest person on Earth to have been a part of it.” This sentiment encapsulates the show’s impact on both its creators and cast members.
The Hacks Finale: A Bittersweet Goodbye
So, as we count down to the final episode, remember that ‘Hacks’ is not just another TV show. It’s a testament to human connection and creative collaboration. The journey from 2019 to 2024 has been remarkable.
“My gratitude to these three is eternal,” Einbinder said, addressing Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky, and Lucia Aniello. “I love you.” These words speak volumes about the bond formed during their time together on set.
