**Hacks Season 4 Trailer Hints at the Aftermath of Deborah and Ava’s Power Clash**

The Emmy-winning third season of *Hacks* concluded with its characters appearing to achieve their desires.

Comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) finally secured her dream role as the new host of *Late Night*, a position she had once abandoned. At the same time, her protégé—and frequent target—Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) obtained the position of head writer. However, the Season 3 finale unveiled a startling revelation: Deborah had initially deceived everyone about the network not hiring Ava for the role. In truth, it was Deborah herself who was reluctant to have Ava involved, fearing she would upset the show’s balance. Consequently, Ava blackmailed Deborah into granting her the role, paving the way for a fraught new phase in their relationship.

With the release of the Season 4 trailer, viewers are offered a first glimpse of the repercussions from this power conflict. The teaser highlights Deborah and Ava confronting each other in diverse environments, from writers’ rooms to the Las Vegas Speedway—where Deborah seems poised to claim victory. The trailer also provides quick looks at supporting characters Jimmy (Paul W. Downs), Kayla (Megan Stalter), Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins), and DJ (Kaitlin Olson), all of whom appear to be reveling in Deborah’s talk show triumph, despite the underlying tension.

*Hacks* Season 4 debuts on April 10.
