My Favorite Show of All Time Just Got Renewed After 10 Years and I'm Seriously Freaking Out

It takes a lot to get me excited about an upcoming TV show or movie—and to get me to "freak out" level? Nearly impossible. And yet, it's 2025. Katy Perry has gone to space, Beyoncé is dominating in country music and I am freaking the hell out.

My favorite show of all time, HBO's The Comeback starring comedic genius Lisa Kudrow, has just been renewed for a third and final season. Normally a show renewal wouldn't be a huge deal. But season two of The Comeback premiered in 2014 meaning it's been more than ten years since the show last aired. And before that? It was ten years between the show's first season (which hit HBO in 2005) and sophomore season. So guys? This is a big deal.

I've texted all my friends. I've posted on Instagram. And now I've calmed down enough to share the (much-needed) good news with you.

Today, Kudrow—in character as the show's leading lady, Valerie Cherish—appeared in a new video put out by HBO. And to see that iconic red-haired actress grace my screen has gotten me emotional.

HBO also released a press release about the news, saying, "20 years after the first season debuted in 2005, and 10 years after season two, HBO has announced the original comedy series The Comeback, from Michael Patrick King (And Just Like That…) and Lisa Kudrow, will return again for a third and final season."
