The HBO Max sitcom Hacks, starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, has been picked up for a third season.
News of the renewal was reported in Variety just two weeks after the acclaimed series aired its season two finale.
Smart, 70, won her fourth Emmy Award for season one of Hacks, which also picked up prizes for its writing and direction.

She stars on Hacks as a pioneering comedian called Deborah Vance who at the start of the show has settled into a comfortable but uninspiring life as a Las Vegas act.
Meanwhile Einbinder, 27, whose mother Laraine Newman was in the original cast of Saturday Night Live, plays Deborah's protégé Ava.
Ava is a rising comedy writer who shortly before the start of season one has been canceled for a joke she made on Twitter.
As Ava struggles to salvage her career and Deborah attempts to revitalize her own, the older established comedian hires the young gun to work for her.
