HBO Max comedy series “Hacks” receives 24 Emmy nominations for its fifth and final season, marking a record-setting performance. Multiple outlets report the tally is the most nominations ever earned by a comedy series in a single year, surpassing prior benchmark totals. Deadline notes the figure eclipses the previous record of 23 nominations held by FX’s “The Bear” (2024) and that “The Studio” matched 23 in 2025. Variety reports “Hacks” also breaks the record for the most nominations for a comedy’s final season, topping the total previously set by Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek,” which received 15 nominations for its final season. The Hollywood Reporter similarly characterizes the nomination haul as a major milestone as the series concludes. Deadline also notes that other departing shows receive nominations in the same Emmy cycle, including “Euphoria,” “Stranger Things,” and “The Boys.” Overall coverage agrees that “Hacks” ends its run with a high nomination count and multiple record distinctions tied to comedy series and final-season performance.
