Hacks is one of the most beloved comedy shows returning for a new season this spring, and Max teased its return with a brand-new trailer. Deborah and Ava reunite and push each other to be better in a new promo clip, released ahead of the show’s May release date.

Over the course of the two first seasons, Hacks followed the adventures of a legendary Las Vegas stand-up diva Deborah Vance, and a young writer Ava, who was brought in to help rejuvenate her act and make it more relevant.

The second season saw Deborah take her act on the road, and it ended with her firing Ava so she could branch out and build her own career. Despite parting ways at the end of Season 2, the new trailer teases their reunion.

“A year after parting, Deborah Vance is riding high off the success of her standup special while Ava pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles,” reads Max’s official logline for Season 3.

Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder lead the cast of Hacks, and they’ll be joined by Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo and Lorenza Izzo. Season 3 will also feature several guest stars, including J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, and Christopher Lloyd.

Season 3 of Hacks will feature nine episodes, set to debut on Max on May 2.
