HBO Max comedy series “Hacks” receives 24 Emmy nominations for its fifth and final season, setting a new record for most nominations for a comedy series in a single year. The figure surpasses the previous comedy-series single-year benchmark of 23 nominations held by FX’s “The Bear” (2024) and also matches another recent high of 23 nominations achieved by Apple TV+’s “The Studio” (2025).
Multiple outlets report that “Hacks” also breaks a separate milestone for a comedy’s final season, previously held by Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek.” Variety describes “Hacks” as a critically acclaimed series centered on a fading Las Vegas entertainment figure and the younger writer she hires.
The nominations arrive as several other departing or concluding series also secure Emmy consideration, including “Euphoria,” “Stranger Things,” and “The Boys,” according to Deadline. Overall, the Emmy field recognizes both “Hacks” as it concludes and other major series that are ending or wrapping their runs.
