Lisa Kudrow is willing to step back into the role of Valerie Cherish that she played in the HBO comedy series The Comeback.
Speaking to Newsweek recently, Kudrow was asked if she’d ever want to revisit the series, and revealed that not only would she, but she’s also spoken to series co-creator Michael Patrick King about it from time to time.
What did Lisa Kudrow say about The Comeback Season 3?
“Oh God, I’d love to. Michael Patrick King and I are always talking about what would happen next. Always,” Kudrow said. “And it’s been 9-10 years now. So, we’re due.”
The actress went on to say that she’s happy to see that the series continues to be something fans talk about when they meet her.
“I’m just thrilled and adore anyone who has the level of appreciation for The Comeback that meets the level of pride I have for doing that show. That is thrilling. I’m happy to hear that,” said Kudrow.
The Comeback originally premiered in 2005 and was created by both Kudrow and King. The series was a satirical look inside the entertainment television industry and is presented as found footage. The show follows Valerie Cherish (Kudrow), a veteran B-list sitcom actress who is looking to revive her career in a Hollywood that is getting increasingly younger.
The show originally ran for just one season but was revived in 2014 for a second. Throughout its run, The Comeback was nominated for four Primetime Emmys, with Kudrow being nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series twice.
