Watch: Lisa Kudrow Announces a the Return of 'The Comeback' to HBO

"The Comeback" is making another comeback.

The cult HBO series stars Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, a former 90s sitcom star whose attempt at a comeback became the focus of the show's first season in 2005. She is convinced to star in a reality series called "The Comeback" chronicling her return to the limelight, but is marred by agism, Hollywood politics, and her own insecurities.

A decade later Kudrow returned for a second season in which Cherish allowed a reality television crew to follow her as she filmed her role on a HBO series where she played a fictional version of herself tortured by a sitcom writer and producer (played by Seth Rogen) years earlier. The third season marks the return of Cherish, but details are scant at this time as to what the narrative will be centered on. It will mark the show's final season.

The series was developed by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King ("Sex and the City," "And Just Like That") from a character Kudrow initially played as part of the improvisational comedy group The Groundlings. The initial season received a mix critical response and low ratings, which led to its cancellation after its first season. Kudrow was nominated for a Prime Time Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for playing the egotistical and clueless Cherish, but the show was considered too much of an inside joke for wide appeal. In the ensuing years, it received renewed critical acclaim. In 2009 Entertainment Weekly named "The Comeback "one of the 10 best shows of the decade, calling it "the most brilliantly brutal satire of reality TV ever captured on screen."

It became a cult favorite, which led to its second season in 2014. Though better received by critics, the show again suffered from low ratings and was not renewed. Again, Kudrow was nominated for a Prime Time Emmy.

"The network gave few details on the premise of the third season, but Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, the 'Sex and the City' producer who co-created the show, said Cherish was gearing up for another turn in show business," reports the New York Times.

"Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape," King and Kudrow said in a joint statement. "Neither of us are surprised she did." HBO released a one-minute video on Friday in which Cherish declares: "I've got a new show."

"The Comeback" will have to navigate its third season without one of its key stars: Robert Michael Morris, the actor who played Valerie Cherish's loyal hairdresser Mickey, died in 2017.

The show will go into production this summer, and the network said this would be the final season.
