The Comeback, which also stars Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young, aired its first season in 2005, and returned for a second season in 2014.

The series, created by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, stars Kudrow as an actress named Valerie Cherish who attempts to revive her career.

"Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did," Kudrow and King said in a statement.

The series is executive produced by Kudrow and King, alongside John Melfi and Dan Bucatinsky.

"No matter what the industry throws at her, Valerie Cherish is a survivor. 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," Amy Gravitt, executive vice president for HBO & Max Comedy Programming, said in the announcement.

The Comeback's third and final season is expected to debut on HBO and HBO Max in 2026.
