Exciting update for comedy enthusiasts: A well-known comedy series that originally debuted in 2005 has officially confirmed its third season, which comes 11 years after it last aired on television. The show initially ended after just one season but was revived in 2014 and then paused again for over a decade. Now, the third and final season is set to premiere soon. Starring Lisa Kudrow, who gained significant recognition from her role in “Friends”, this series marks one of her most prominent roles since the sitcom’s conclusion.
Indeed, it’s true! The satirical comedy “The Comeback” is set to return after a hiatus! HBO has confirmed that the series, co-created by the famous actor from “Friends,” Lisa Kudrow, will have a third season coming out next year on both HBO and HBO Max. In this new season, Kudrow reprises her role as Valerie Cherish, a former sitcom star who tries her luck in show business again through a reality show called “The Comeback.” Although the release method might be unusual, it seems fitting that Valerie Cherish returns for another round following another decade-long pause.
On Friday, it was officially confirmed that Season 3 will go ahead, with a comical video showing Cherish attempting to tape the announcement for her fictional show’s final season but failing hilariously. Jennifer Aniston seamlessly slipped back into Cherish’s quirks, making it seem as if she hadn’t left the role. Co-creator Michael Patrick King and Jennifer Aniston jokingly commented on the upcoming third and last season, saying “Valerie Cherish has managed to return to today’s TV scene. Neither of us are surprised she made it back.
The Comeback‘s Revival Mirrors Star Kudrow’s Own Second Act
In Season 3 of The Comeback, joining Kudrow and King are Dan Bucatinsky as Cherish’s publicist, Laura Silverman as the producer of the show within the show, and Damian Young as Cherish’s ex-husband. This self-aware and frank satire about the realities of being a woman in the entertainment industry is especially relevant today, given that when we last saw Valerie Cherish, there was no #MeToo movement, no major strikes in the industry, and it wasn’t as fixated on spinoffs, sequels, and reboots as it is now. The past decade has certainly offered The Comeback plenty of material to satirize comically. We can hardly wait to see how Kudrow, King, and the team of The Comeback tackle these topics when Valerie graces our screens again in 2026.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’ve always admired Lisa Kudrow for her exceptional acting skills, particularly her Emmy-winning portrayal of Phoebe Buffay in the iconic series “Friends.” However, it seems that roles like “The Comeback” have been harder to come by than they ought to be for this talented actress. Fortunately, last year, she graced us with two distinct comedic performances – Apple TV+’s whimsical epic “Time Bandits” and Netflix’s humorous heist movie “No Good Deed.” Although neither series was renewed for a second season, both shows were a testament to Kudrow’s acting prowess. The actress doesn’t appear to be slowing down either; there’s even talk of a sequel for the beloved film “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” Though progress on the sequel with co-star Mira Sorvino seems to be moving at a leisurely pace, the success of “The Comeback” gives me hope that we might see Kudrow reprise her unforgettable role as the fabulous underachiever Michele once more.
