At the end of Season 3, Deborah finally got her dream: the network has agreed to green-light her late-night talk show.
In reality, currently no women host late night US talk-shows and the landscape has long been dominated by male hosts.

Names like David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, James Corden, Trevor Noah have shaped the genre for decades.
Hacks Season 4’s plot of having Deborah host a US talk show highlights the absence of women in this space, and will make for an interesting watch with the same wit and humour we know and love from the series.
The series itself is universally praised.
The show has the rare distinction of having a 99 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, plus a legion of adoring fans. Many refer to the show as a masterpiece in comedic storytelling and refer to it as “perfect”.
One fan wrote of the announcement: “Hacks Season 4 in a month – life is worth living.”
“Kinda can’t breathe,” another wrote, wile a third said: “I just binge-watched Hacks and I can guarantee it’s the funniest show of the decade.”

Downs, Aniello, and Statsky also serve as executive producers alongside Michael Schur (The Good Place), David Miner (30 Rock), and Morgan Sackett (Veep).
