‘Hacks’ Spinoff Focusing on Jimmy and Kayla Possible

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Paul W. Downs, co-creator of the HBO Max series *Hacks*, has expressed interest in developing a spinoff centered around his character, Jimmy LaSaque Jr., and Meg Stalter's Kayla Schaefer. However, he also emphasized a desire to leave the original show as it is.

The revelation came during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s *Watch What Happens Live*. Downs was asked about storylines he had to fight for, leading to the discussion of potential expansions of the *Hacks* universe. He stated, “We would love to do a spinoff with Jimmy and Kayla.”

Despite this enthusiasm for exploring those characters further, Downs clarified that any spinoff wouldn't come at the expense of the existing series. According to Downs, “We also want to leave the show as it is,” indicating a reluctance to dilute the impact or narrative integrity of *Hacks* by overextending its storyline. The co-creator did not specify a timeline or platform for such a spinoff.
