Long live Valerie Cherish. HBO and Lisa Kudrow delighted fans with a surprise announcement of The Comeback Season 3 on Friday, June 27. But when does The Comeback come back? Here, we’re breaking down everything there is to know.
The Comeback stars Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, a former sitcom star who attempts to revive her career by starring in a reality show that documents her return to television as a supporting character on a new series. Twenty years after the first season debuted on June 5, 2005, and 10 years after Season 2 on November 9, 2014, HBO announced the original comedy series from Michael Patrick King (And Just Like That…) and Kudrow will make one last run.
