What hit HBO Max show won’t be getting a spin-off?

Hacks, HBO Max’s hit comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, is set to end following its fifth season. However, rumors of a spin-off series being developed began to surface recently.

Speaking to Deadline in a recent interview, HBO CEO Casey Bloys was asked about those rumors and pretty quickly shut them down. “I’m not sure about that, there are no spin-offs. Not for us,” said Bloys.
