Valerie Cherish, portrayed by Lisa Kudrow, is making another push for her comeback in the highly anticipated third season of HBO’s mockumentary sitcom “The Comeback”, set to premiere on March 22. Following its first appearance at the SXSW Film & TV Festival, the series has gained significant attention, with the recently released trailer announcing this season will be its final installment—a claim that some fans hope will indeed hold true, considering the show’s history of revivals.
In this latest season, Kudrow’s character takes center stage in a new sitcom, continuing her journey of self-documentation on and off the set. The writers’ room features a mix of talents, including John Early and Abbi Jacobson, along with the unexpected addition of AI, reflecting the show’s setting in the modern landscape of 2026. As part of promoting her new series, “How’s That?”, Valerie also engages with audiences on popular platforms, including a guest spot on the viral series “Hot Ones,” further showcasing her self-deprecating charm.
“The Comeback” masterfully chronicles the struggles of a once-popular sitcom star as she attempts to revive her career. The first season depicted Valerie’s attempts to regain her footing through a lackluster comedy about roommates, while the second season saw her navigating a toxic workspace in a dark comedy series titled “Seeing Red,” which featured Seth Rogen and drew fascinating parallels to Kudrow’s real-life experiences.
Season 3 sees the return of familiar faces, including Andrew Scott, Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman, and Damian Young, alongside a fresh ensemble that includes Tim Bagley, Matt Cook, and more. Following a nine-year hiatus since Season 2 concluded in 2014, and with the original season airing back in 2005, viewers are eagerly waiting to see how Valerie’s journey culminates.
Fans can find excitement in watching the trailer for Season 3 of “The Comeback”, which promises more of the witty humor and poignant moments that have characterized this unique series.
