The girls are back and they're still standing, as Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" plays in the background in the trailer for Season 3 of Hacks, which sees Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) reunite.

Officially scheduled to premiere Thursday, May 2 with two episodes, Season 3 of Hacks will feature nine new episodes with two episodes each week until its finale arrives on Max on May 30. The Emmy-winning series, which began as a mentor-mentee story between an aging stand-up comedian and a young comedy writer, picks up one year after the dynamic duo split at the end of Season 2.

Following the success of her stand-up special, Ava starts the season on a high note as she pursues new opportunities in Los Angeles, but as the teaser trailer (above) reveals, it won’t be long before they’re back together. They bump into each other while riding in an elevator, and it’ll be interesting to see where the story takes these two women, whose working relationship seemed to be coming to an end at the end of last season.

Also back for the laughs alongside Smart and Einbinder are returning cast members Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo and Lorenza Izzo. And while comedy still reigns supreme, there’s apparently some serious drama and even one-night stands afoot in the almost steamy teaser, which sees Smart kissing previously announced guest star Tony Goldwyn and Einbinder sleeping with another series newcomer, Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks. Additional guest stars also set to appear include Helen Hunt, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Bucatinsky and George Wallace.
