Hacks aired its series finale on HBO Max on May 28, closing the book on the 12-time Emmy-winning comedy after five seasons and 47 episodes. The farewell sent Deborah Vance (Smart) and her comedy writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) to Paris, where a late-stage cancer diagnosis has driven Deborah to seek something, and Ava does everything she can to pull her back. Smart admitted at an FYC panel two days before the finale that she was 'not sure' when co-creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Downs first outlined the ending. 'But I said, 'Hey, I trust you guys. Always have, always turns out great.' She has since called the result 'perfect.'
The creators, it turns out, knew the basics of that ending before a single episode had filmed. Downs confirmed in a post-finale featurette that the writers knew how Hacks would conclude when they first pitched the series. The closing line, 'That's the better joke!', is intentionally spoken only twice by Deborah across five seasons. Statsky told Slate that knowing the destination from the start let the writers plant callbacks and Easter eggs that rewarded attentive viewers across the full run.
The episode closes on a Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland duet. 'Happy Days Are Here Again' and 'Get Happy', which Smart said she was only told about shortly before filming the finale. 'I was so excited,' she said at the FYC panel. The duet, two women singing different songs in the same key until they become one, is as deliberate as anything else in the episode. Aniello described the mirrored opening shots (Season 1 begins with Deborah walking backstage alone; the finale opens with Ava running her own show) as a way of saying that the two characters have, over five years, become something of each other.
