American actress Hannah Einbinder has high praise for co-star Jean Smart ahead of the second season of Hacks.

Hacks explores the dark mentorship between Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and a young, entitled writer named Ava (Hannah Einbinder).

Hannah told Deborah Knight that Jean is a “legend”.

“She wants everyone around her to be so comfortable,” she said.

“She’s just such an incredibly generous person in every way.”

The brand new season of Hacks premieres 13 May, same day as the U.S. and only on Stan.
