Yahoo News Law & Order's Tony Goldwyn joins Hacks season 3
Law & Order star Tony Goldwyn has joined the cast of Hacks for its upcoming third season along with some other famous names.
According to Deadline, Goldwyn will guest star in season three of the Max drama alongside guest stars Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Bucatinsky, George Wallace, and Helen Hunt.
The hit comedy, which stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, will premiere its third season in May. Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo and Lorenza Izzo are all reported to be returning to the show.
Last week, it was announced that Paul W Downs and Megan Stalter had been promoted from recurring cast members to series regulars.
On Friday, a first-look trailer was released confirming the Primetime Emmy Award-winning comedy series would be back on US screens on Thursday, May 2 with a two-episode premiere.
Following the two-episode premiere, two episodes of the show will be released weekly until Thursday, May 30 when the season finale drops.
Season 3 of Hacks will pick up a year after season 2 ends, with Deborah Vance (Smart) riding off the success of her standup special while Ava (Einbinder) looks for new opportunities back in Los Angeles.
As the teaser trailer shows, Deborah and Ava, who are now on different paths, are set to reunite in Las Vegas where Ava will give Deborah a warning about some of her on-stage material.
Meanwhile, Goldwyn, who is set to replace Sam Waterston on Law & Order, recently shared some behind-the-scenes photos ahead of his debut on that show as District Attorney Nicholas Baxter.
Goldwyn is set to take on the role after Waterston announced his departure from the show. He had starred as District Attorney Jack McCoy for over 30 years.
"Some very large shoes to fill! First episode finished as DA Nicholas Baxter. Thanks to the L&O fam for being so welcoming," he shared on Instagram.
Goldwyn's Law & Order debut will air on Thursday, March 14.
Hacks will return for its third season with two new episodes on Thursday, May 2 on Max.
