Hacks Season 5: They Built 135 Feet of Vegas for One Scene | Collider BTS

Hacks Season 5 production designer Rob Tokarz reveals how the show built Deborah Vance’s world for its final chapter. In this Collider behind-the-scenes interview, Tokarz breaks down the biggest production design challenges of Hacks Season 5, from Deborah’s evolving mansion to Ava Daniels’ growing presence in her space, the working soda fountain in Deborah’s kitchen, and the hidden Season 1 details inside her closet. Tokarz also explains how the team pulled off one of the season’s most ambitious sequences: The Cube. Because the real Las Vegas Strip could not be darkened for the scene, the Hacks team built 135 feet of the Strip on a soundstage, recreated street details, and used practical lighting to make the blackout work. The conversation also covers the Who’s Making Dinner sitcom set, the contrast between Madison Square Garden and Central Park, The Diva hotel’s Art Deco design, Bob Mackie artwork, Paris locations, and the elaborate Amazing Race-style episode.
