Get ready for some exciting news in the world of television! The highly anticipated Season 5 of Hacks is about to get even more star-studded!
Christopher Briney, fresh off his role in The Summer I Turned Pretty, is joining the cast of this Emmy-winning series. But here's where it gets interesting: Briney, who portrayed the beloved Conrad Fisher in TSITP, is now set to make his mark on Hacks.
While The Summer I Turned Pretty recently concluded with its series finale, Briney's journey continues as he reprises his role in an upcoming movie, keeping the franchise alive. And this is the part most people miss: his transition from one hit show to another is a testament to his talent and versatility as an actor.
Hacks, currently in its fifth season, is riding high on the success of its recent Emmy wins. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, who took home the awards for best comedy actress and supporting actress, respectively, are returning for this season alongside an impressive ensemble cast, including Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, and more.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Briney reflected on the end of The Summer I Turned Pretty and his newfound fame. When asked about his experience as a male lead in a popular show, he shared an honest and humble perspective. "I don't really feel it," he said, explaining how he maintains a low-key presence online and in social circles. This, he believes, is key to avoiding the pitfalls of being typecast as his character.
Hacks is created and showrun by a talented trio: Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky. The series boasts an impressive list of executive producers, including Michael Schur and David Miner, among others.
