Christopher Briney enters Hacks season 5; Read on to see the first photo with Jean Smart.
New Move, New Energy
Christopher Briney, the charming star of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” has announced his entry into the fifth season of HBO Max’s hit comedy series, “Hacks.”
This marks a shift for Briney—moving from romantic teen roles to the world of adult comedy.
At first glance, he was seen with Jean Smart, and the photo has piqued fans’ curiosity.
What the First Photo Revealed
In the first photo released, Briney and Jean Smart are dressed in silk tops; Briney’s top is slightly unbuttoned, revealing her character’s tattoos.
In the photo, Briney holds Deborah’s (Jean’s character) waist, and they are smiling.
The photo is cute, but doesn’t reveal anything major—it’s just clear that the chemistry between the two could work on screen.
Briney’s Career Turn
Hacks is Briney’s first project since “The Summer I Turned Pretty”; he will also return to the same franchise as Conrad in the film.
This means he’s juggling both genres—a young-killer romance and a mature comedy—at the same time, which bodes well for his range.
Jean Smart and the Team’s Creative Openness
The show’s producers and cast have repeatedly stated that Jean Smart is confident in her role and works openly with the production team.
Producer-writers Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky say that while some things may surprise Jean, audiences love whatever she brings to the screen.
Furthermore, the fact that Hacks is the final season makes it an emotional one for fans.
What can fans expect?
Whether Briney’s character will be romantic, comic, or something different is still unclear.
The pairing of Jean and Briney could add a new flavor to the gritty screen stories.
The announcement that Hacks is coming to an end has made Season 5 even more significant—it will feel like a finale, but expectations are also high.
A final word:
Christopher Briney’s entry into Hacks will add a new twist to the show’s final chapter: new relationships, new comic moments, and a finale that will keep fans laughing and crying.
Briney and the entire team are now tasked with filling in the gaps left behind—and the first photo shows they’re ready for the challenge.
