Hacks season 5 episode 3 has only just dropped — but there’s a major release date change coming to the hit HBO Max show’s schedule

Hacks season 5 will be releasing two episodes per week on HBO Max for the next fortnight
Episodes 4 and 5 drop on April 30, with episodes 6 and 7 on May 7
Season 5 will return to a weekly release schedule for the final three weeks (eps 8-10)

We’re only three weeks into Hacks season 5, and it’s already been so good to us.

Season 5 episode 3 is equally one for the books. Deborah hits it off with a new artist playing at the Palmetto, sparking an age gap romance worthy of a double-page spread in US Weekly.

However, there’s more good news to come for devoted Hacks fans (or should I say Little Debbies?). HBO Max is changing the hit show’s release schedule for the next two weeks… meaning we’re doubling our binge for the foreseeable.

Watch On

You read that correctly: Hacks season 5 will be releasing two episodes per week on HBO Max for the next fortnight.

This means that episodes 4 and 5 drop on April 30, with episodes 6 and 7 following up on May 7.

However, from episode 8 onwards, we return to a single episode weekly schedule for the final three weeks.

The full release schedule looks something like this:

Episode 1: out now
Episode 2: out now
Episode 3: out now
Episode 4: April 30
Episode 5: April 30
Episode 6: May 7
Episode 7: May 7
Episode 8: May 14
Episode 9: May 21
Episode 10: May 28

HBO hasn’t specified a reason for the mid-season schedule change, but who are we to complain?

At the time of writing, there are no episode synopses publicly available. But as Deadline reports, episode 5 will be an unexpected crossover with the hit reality TV series, The Amazing Race.

It’s set to show “Deborah Vance and Kaitlyn Olson’s character DJ compete in a fictional celebrity episode of The Amazing Race featuring the CBS reality competition show’s host Phil Keoghan, its crew and actual props.”
