The Hack doesn’t have a confirmed release date as yet, though it is slated to air this autumn on ITV and stream on ITVX. The series also doesn’t have an American distributor, but given the timeliness of the subject matter, as well as the popularity of Mr Bates vs The Post Office, it seems likely some streamer will almost certainly scoop it up sooner rather than later.
