What they’re saying

“She really blew us out of the water in the way she was able to give the character depth and levels beyond what we had written. She is quite frankly a comedic genius.”

— Jen Statsky, Co-creator and co-showrunner of Hacks (Town & Country)

“The final scene of the final episode has been in our minds since 2015, and we're excited to get there. But that may take more episodes than we can fit in the season. So the truth is that we don't know.”

— Paul W. Downs, Co-creator of Hacks (Variety)

“Comedy feels really good. But I also want to make sure that the projects I join are emotionally fulfilling. Jane [her character in Miasma] is someone I feel so aligned with, and the work that Jane makes is so deeply personal and queer. It's just exactly the type of thing I wanted to do.”

— Hannah Einbinder (Los Angeles Times)
