Get ready for some exciting news, because the highly anticipated Season 5 of 'Hacks' is about to get even more intriguing! The addition of Christopher Briney to the cast has everyone talking, and we're here to dive into the details.
'Hacks' is a captivating series that explores the unique mentorship between Deborah Vance, a seasoned comedy legend played by the incredible Jean Smart, and Ava Daniels, a Gen Z writer portrayed by Hannah Einbinder. This dynamic duo has captivated audiences since the show's debut on HBO Max in 2021. With Season 4 wrapping up earlier this year, Smart's impressive streak of four consecutive Emmys for her role and Einbinder's first Emmy win have set the bar high for the upcoming season.
But here's where it gets mysterious... While we don't yet know the exact role Christopher Briney will be taking on, a behind-the-scenes glimpse has given us a tantalizing hint. A photo released by Warner Bros. Discovery shows Briney's character standing close to Deborah, with an arm around her waist, both of them beaming with joy. Briney's character sports an unbuttoned shirt, revealing tattoos, which adds an air of intrigue to his character's personality.
Christopher Briney, known for his stellar performance as Conrad Fisher in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' on Amazon Prime Video, has already made a name for himself in the young adult drama genre. Based on Jenny Han's book series, the show premiered in 2022 and concluded its third season in September, but the story continues with a film currently in development. Briney's versatility is further showcased by his role as Aaron Samuel's in Paramount's upcoming 2024 'Mean Girls' movie musical. With such an impressive resume, it's no wonder he's joined the talented ensemble of 'Hacks'.
And this is the part most people miss... 'Hacks' is not just about the actors, it's a collaborative effort led by showrunners Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, who also serve as the creative minds behind the scenes. The Season 5 cast includes a stellar lineup, with Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, and Rose Abdoo joining the talented Briney. Executive producers include Downs and Aniello, along with Michael Schur, David Miner, Morgan Sackett, Joe Mande, Aisha Muharrar, Nate Young, and Ashley Glazier, with Universal Television as the studio.
