HBO’s revived The Comeback starring Lisa Kudrow for a third and final…until it’s not…season. Never ever count The Comeback out. Season one premiered way back in 2005, and season two didn’t arrive until 10 years later. Season three is expected to debut in 2026.
Kudrow created the series with Michael Patrick King (And Just Like That) and stars as Valerie Cherish, a former TV star whose career has tanked. The cast of the upcoming final season also includes returning series regulars Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman, and Damian Young.
“Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did,” said Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow.
Filming’s expected to get underway this summer with King, Kudrow, Bucatinsky, and John Melfi executive producing.
“No matter what the industry throws at her, Valerie Cherish is a survivor,” stated Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO & Max Comedy Programming. “On the 20th anniversary of her debut, Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow have brilliantly scripted her return to HBO and we can’t wait to see that.”
A look back at the season two plot: “B-level TV star Valerie Cherish was a pioneer of reality television. Now, it’s ten years later—there’s more TV than ever, and she wants back in. Lisa Kudrow stars as the embattled Valerie Cherish, a fading TV ‘It Girl’ who was once so desperate to stay in the spotlight that she allowed cameras to follow her every move as she appeared on a new sitcom, with disastrous results.
When the comedy series returns for [season two], Valerie thinks she has it all figured out this time. She doesn’t. Valerie has hired a student film crew to shoot footage that she hopes will get the attention of Bravo and put her back on the map. When she discovers her former nemesis Paulie G. (Lance Barber), who’s fresh out of rehab, has a new HBO show called Seeing Red, based on his experiences working with her, an irate Valerie crashes the HBO offices crying defamation—but ends up getting the role that’s based on herself.”
