If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And HBO Max seems to feel that exact sentiment about "Hacks."

The Emmy-winning series, starring Jean Smart as a Joan Rivers-esque comedian and Hannah Einbinder as her off-kilter comedy writer, has been renewed for a fourth season at Max, Variety reported.

Season three of the show picked up with Deborah (Smart) on a mission to get her own late night show with Ava (Einbinder) by her side, and their unlikely partnership is a comedic formula that just seems to work.

Adding to the laughs on the cast are Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Jane Adams, J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher McDonald, Christopher Lloyd, Tony Goldwyn, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo and Lorenza Izzo.

"We congratulate 'Hacks's' brilliant cast and crew, and our partners at Universal Television," said head of Max Original Programming Sarah Aubrey in a statement. "'Hacks' is a masterfully crafted comedy delivering laughs and sharp insights about the vulnerability and joy of sharing a dream. 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."

Universal Television president Erin Underhill added, "Hats off to Jen, Lucia and Paul for crafting a world as compelling and poignant as it is clever and funny."

"Hacks" was created by showrunners Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky. Season three of the show is available on HBO Max.
