Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback Season 3 Sets Release Date Window in Video
HBO has officially announced Season 3 release date window in a new announcement video, confirming when the Lisa Kudrow-led series will air.
The Comeback Season 3 will release sometime in May 2026, according to HBO. The third and final season of the series comes 20 years after the show first debuted on the network back in 2005 and 10 years after its second season aired in 2015.
Production on Season 3 is set to begin this summer and will see Lisa Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman, and Damian Young all return as series regulars.
Check out the Season 3 announcement video below:
'Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did,' said creator Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow in a statement.
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 season. Throughout its run, The Comeback was nominated for four Primetime Emmys, with Kudrow being nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series twice.

Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal is One of Many Genre-Defying Projects.
Nathan Fielder outside of his full-scale replica of Brooklyn's Alligator Lounge bar from The ... More Rehearsal on April 14, 2025 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for HBO) Sometimes, art imitates life. And sometimes life is a movie. One that imitates life, which imitates art. In season two of HBO's hit comedy series The Rehearsal, comedian and performance artist Nathan Fielder blurs life, art, and TV. He uses his network resources to go big, examining plane crashes and how pilots communicate in the cockpit. Fielder, in typical fashion, takes hair brained ideas to the extreme. Often small details are inflated to comedic levels but prove tangential to the episode. The series, like his Comedy Central series Nathan For You, features Fielder playing a version of himself, working with real people and actors in a kaleidoscopic genre-bending performance art that might be described as quasi-investigative comedic documentary. Alexandra Tanner at The Point describes The Rehearsal: Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder of the Comedy Central show "Nathan For You" comes forward as the ... More brainchild of "Dumb Starbucks," a parody store that resembles a Starbucks with a green awning and mermaid logo, but with the word "Dumb" attached above the Starbucks sign. Starbucks Coffee spokeswoman, Laurel Harper says the store is not affiliated with Starbucks and, despite the humor, the store cannot use the Starbucks name. (AP Photo/Nick Ut) The art critic Dean Kissick in a column for Spike Art Magazine tries to make sense of the life-and-art collapse, As the world around us gets weirder, reality and fiction get ever closer. Here are eight more movies (and one book) for anyone interested in movies that incorporate polymathic combinations of art, film, fiction, and non-fiction. Secret Mall Apartment (2024), dir. Jeremy Workman In 2003, a group of eight artists in Providence, Rhode Island snuck into the local mall and set up a clandestine apartment inside an overlooked gap in the building's architecture. Led by artists Michael Townsend and Adriana Valdez Young, the crew spent four years hanging out in their clubhouse, right under the noses of mall security. With a small hidden camera, they documented their long-term art performance, using the quirks of the mall architecture to expand their joke into something deeply serious. Is it life or art? And is this a documentary or just a snapshot of their time spent deep within the 'nowhere space' of the mall? Pee Wee as Himself (2025), dir. Matt Wolf As a kid growing up, I didn't understand that Pee Wee Herman was played by Paul Reubens. The network TV show Pee Wee's Playhouse and the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure both loomed large, but Paul Reubens, the comedian and artist behind the show, was a mystery. Reubens had purposely foregrounded his alter ego Pee Wee and hid himself from the public spotlight, making appearances on TV shows like The Tonight Show with David Letterman as the character. Pee Wee as Himself is an intimate portrait of Reubens, and sheds light on the man behind the character. The documentary draws on 40 hours of interviews with Reubens, who initiated the documentary while secretly battling cancer. It traces his start growing up in Sarasota, Florida around the circus performers of the The Ringling Brothers, which was headquartered there. It then shows the influence of Reubens's time in art school at CalArts and his experience with the improv group The Groundlings, where he worked with comedians such as Phil Hartman. The character of Pee Wee was an amalgamation of 1950s kids shows like The Shari Lewis Show and the the freneticism of the 1980s LA punk scene. All were swirled together to take performance and pop art into the mainstream in what Reubens described as 'live action cartoons.' Citizen Wiener (2024), dir. Daniel Robbins When the film industry (and everything else) shut down in 2020, actor Zack Wiener was living with his mom on New York City's Upper West Side. He decided to make a movie by running for city council, taking on Manhattan political stalwart Gale Brewer. With a real campaign staff of actors and his friends, he sets out on an extended Jackass-like adventure that is simultaneously sincere and completely ridiculous. (2025), dir. Peter Vack This fictional tale collapses the internet, theater, and the movie screen into a dystopian world where, with the creation of a world blurring online and offline, the three merge into a secret fourth thing. Rachel (Betsey Brown) is trapped in an advertising firm's experiment for which she is made to give user feedback about Mommy 6.0, a pop star. The film has been surrounded by controversy, as a group of New York's downtown art crowd gathered at the Daryl Roth Theatre to film several scenes, which most poignantly comment on what it means to be online today with pressures from both commercial forces and our peers. Videoheaven (2025), dir. Alex Ross Perry Taking the form of an academic essay, Alex Ross Perry's encyclopedic Videoheaven tells the story of the video store in popular culture. Rather than rely on simple nostalgia, the three-hour epic collage uses clips from mainstream and cult films to portray video stores as a third space and cultural touchpoint—sometimes positively, and sometimes less so. Like many academic essays, it can be at times overwhelming to follow both Maya Hawke's dense narration and the action in the associated clips. However, the movie ultimately tells a beautiful story of the video store's complex evolution from an underground portal to new worlds, to ubiquitous sterile corporate space, to zombified ruin. Videoheaven will be showing July 2-5 at IFC Center in New York, with wide release later this year. The Code (2025), dir. Eugene Kotlyarenko The Code is director Eugene Kotlyarenko's latest project. Set in the surreality of the Covid-19 pandemic, it utilizes a toolbelt of different cameras–from cell phones to spy sunglasses to surveillance cams–to construct a kaleidoscopic film. Celine (Dasha Nekrasova) and Jay (Peter Vack) are trying to repair their relationship. All the while, Celine makes a movie about it. Set in a rental house in the desert, the film weaves traditional movie shots, security cameras, phone cameras, screen recordings, and handheld 'documentary' footage, building a unique visual language that mirrors the layered story being told. Pavements (2024), dir. Alex Ross Perry Is it a documentary, a biopic, or a musical? And is it about music history, a reunion tour, or an exhibition? Yes. Alex Ross Perry's chaotic dive into the indie band Pavement follows them on a 2022 reunion tour and traces their history alongside their late spike in popularity. Instead of opting for the documentary format's neat combination of past and filming of the present, Perry serves up a maximalism that plays with reality, taking viewers through a chaotic reconstruction of Pavement's rise and fall via a Broadway style musical and biopic with Hollywood actors. For fans of the band, it is a nostalgic journey across the career of the genre-defining slacker rock band which made a deep impression on their generation. For those unfamiliar with Pavement, it is a wild, multi-angled glimpse of that angst-ridden era of rock music: the 1990s. It will be available for streaming on July 11 via Mubi. Bonus Book: Everything is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde—Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop (2025) by J. Hoberman J. Hoberman's expansive history of 1960s New York shows the range of creative experimentation and influence of the period. From artists Yayoi Kusama and Andy Warhol, to comedian Lenny Bruce and jazz musician Ornette Coleman, the explosion of creative output was tied directly to the social proximity of the neighborhoods—beginning with the Beats of the 1950s, and moving through Fluxus art movement, underground film, and everything in between. As cultural critic Mike Davis says on the book's jacket, 'J Hoberman is simply the best historian of that hallucinatory decade when politics imitated celluloid and movies invaded reality.' The Rehearsal wouldn't be possible without it.

Catch These 7 Movies and TV Shows Before They Leave in July
Several beloved television series are leaving Netflix in the United States this month, so get your binges going. Also departing: an uproarious film version of a classic TV comedy, the prequel to an action movie favorite and the sensational hit movie about a doll and her friends. A ton of the titles this month are leaving on July 1, so we've rounded up those at the bottom. But as a result, the list will be a little tighter — and shorter lived — than usual. (Dates reflect the first day titles are unavailable and are subject to change.) 'Insecure' Seasons 1-5 (July 3) Stream it here. The funny and talented Issa Rae broke out from niche online personality to mainstream juggernaut with this acclaimed and popular HBO comedy series, on which she was co-creator, showrunner and star. Her character (also named Issa) spends the series struggling with her unsatisfying career, continuing romantic woes and roller-coaster relationship with her longtime best friend, Molly (the endlessly entertaining Yvonne Orji). What could have easily been a Black 'Sex and the City' is lent nuance, texture and richness by Rae and her writers' deft intermingling of serious social, sexual and racial themes, turning this half-hour comedy into a pointed portrait of the American Black experience in the late Obama and early Trump eras. 'The Addams Family' (July 5) Stream it here. Barry Sonnenfeld graduated from being one of the best cinematographers on the scene — he shot such distinctive and stylish efforts as 'Raising Arizona' and 'When Harry Met Sally' — to one of our quirkiest directors with this hit adaptation of the beloved '60s television series, itself culled from the cult comic strips of Charles Addams. His whirling cameras, striking angles and rapid-fire pacing prove an ideal match for Addams's weird world, but this isn't just an exercise in aesthetics; the casting is the key to bringing these characters to life. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston find the perfect mixture of cheerful darkness and playful romance as Gomez and Morticia Addams, Christopher Lloyd gives Uncle Fester a delightful innocence, and Christina Ricci found her breakthrough role as the deadpan daughter Wednesday. 'This Is Us' Seasons 1-6 (July 8) Stream it here. When 'This Is Us' debuted in 2016, The New York Times described it as 'skillful, shameless tear jerking,' and that description was apt throughout its six-season run. Its creator, Dan Fogelman, borrows its setup from films like 'Short Cuts' and 'Magnolia': interwoven stories of seemingly unrelated strangers, bound together by random chance (in this case, four characters who share a date of birth). The show isn't exactly subtle — the tragedies and troubles come down like the sheets of rain that seems to accompany every emotional moment — but it delivers what it promises, and the stellar cast (including Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore, Chris Sullivan and Milo Ventimiglia) elevates many of the cornier moments. 'Barbie' (July 15) Stream it here. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Katherine LaNasa was always cast in 'sexual' roles. She's happy to ditch makeup on 'The Pitt.'
As a teen ballet dancer turned actress with a list of credits (including Two and a Half Men and Big Love) as long as her arm, Katherine LaNasa has spent most of her life in the spotlight. But starring as emergency-room nurse Dana on the hit HBO Max medical drama The Pitt has launched the 58-year-old into a new level of fame. It's coming just at the right time, she says. 'I saw an [article] yesterday on GQ about these men that are finding success in their 50s — like Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo and Walt Goggins — and how they already have a well-established self-identity,' LaNasa tells me during our conversation for Yahoo Life's Unapologetically series. 'It's really nice to feel really settled in myself and to have done what I do with very relatively little praise. So getting praise now, it's a nice ride. You see kids get that, and they start thinking they need to adopt some other jaded or cool persona. I already am my grown-up cool/uncool self. This is just career stability and nicer accommodations and clothing.' LaNasa has a lot of self-acceptance when it comes to the subject of aging, and her confidence is infectious. 'I was walking on the street in Atlanta, and [this guy said], 'Your dog almost walked into my dog,'' she recalls. 'I was like, 'Were you inconvenienced?' And he goes, 'You look old.' I said, 'I am old!' [But] I feel like I'm in really good shape; I feel really strong.' Having an 11-year-old daughter, with her husband, '90s heartthrob Grant Show of Melrose Place fame, also keeps her young. But motherhood is hardly a new experience; LaNasa was in her early 20s when she and then-husband Dennis Hopper (30 years her senior) welcomed their son Henry, who is now in his 30s. What has LaNasa learned from her relationships, and why is she happy to let go of playing sexual characters? Here's what she told me during our candid conversation on aging, catcalling and not wearing makeup on TV. I'd always wanted to work for [The Pitt executive producer] John Wells, and I thought, If I could get in front of [casting], if they ever see my tape, I have a feeling I know what they want. And it just worked out. [As for] the success — it's kind of like if you loved making coffee, and you made coffee for someone every day, and you put a beautiful heart on it or different designs every day, and you did that for 30 years or so, and that was your job, and you got paid well, and you liked [it], and then, one day someone looked at you and said, "This is such great coffee. I really love your coffee." That's kind of what it feels like. Getting approval and praise I didn't think was ever coming my way — that I wasn't looking for and I didn't really need — is all just a bonus, and it feels like a nice warm bath. It's very enjoyable. I always played such sexual characters, and I think I always identified myself so much with my sexuality. I thought that if I became less sexually desirable as I got older or if I felt less interested in sex, I would lose a big part of my identity, and it would be terrible. And I find that I just really don't care. You know, this thing about older women being invisible? I'll take a step back. I used to get catcalled all the time, and it's a relief, and it's nice [to not have to deal with that anymore]. I also think [now is] a time in life — if you can let go of this feminine ideal of our physical beauty — it's really a time in life for deeper things, to think about the meaning of your life, to think about your own mortality, to think about what kind of legacy you want to leave and who you are. I really appreciate this season of life. I also appreciate feeling really seasoned in my craft. So often that's the thing I like the most about a day. It's like, 'I really knew how to make that scene work. I knew how to get the guest star to speed up with me. And then I stopped for the camera just so, and I can handle a lot of camera moves, choreography, notes at once, and it feels really easy.' There's a lot of technical aspects about acting that people don't think about, and it's nice to feel at a certain point that you have some mastery over them. I think we are flipping the script on that. I have to say, I think there've been some really incredible, brave women out there that have always portrayed real women — you know, the Allison Janneys and the Patricia Arquettes. And then you get these sex symbols like Pamela Anderson going [on the red carpet] with like almost no makeup. John Wells is a maverick at putting real, complex, imperfect-looking women on television and celebrating them, way before it was cool. So to work for him, it just really feels like I'm getting to step into that. I have to tell you: To play a part like Dana and to wear no makeup, it was really very freeing. It's also really freeing working for a mostly female writing crew. Feeling like I don't have to live up to that ridiculous, feminine, sexual ideal has freed up my acting. And I think it's why the acting's good on the show. Women can feel like they can just relax into being themselves. Yeah, I love clothes and style in general. I used to have an interior design business, and I'm sort of an amateur interior designer now. I'm very visual. I also love ceramics. I feel like I'm in really good shape. Like, I feel really strong. I do yoga every day. I like mixing the hot yoga with the regular yoga. I play a little tiny bit of pickleball. I hike. I really appreciate that my body is still really strong — [something] you take for granted when you're young. I'm glad I can still do all this. The one thing that was really hard was [the doctors] wanting to give me a C-section right away. They wanted to plan a C-section. Because of my age, they were worried. I grew up in a family of doctors, so I'm used to just listening to the doctor. But I wanted to push back a lot. I didn't want to incise my body if I didn't have to. If I had needed one, I definitely would have, but I didn't want to plan for it months early just because I was 47. I had some kind of pre-preeclampsia signs. I went in for some testing, and they kept me in the hospital, and they induced labor with Pitocin. But then I didn't want to have an epidural, because I didn't want to slow [labor] down. I was worried about too many drugs. So I had a natural childbirth on Pitocin, and I don't recommend it. It was super hard. I feel really powerful because I got through that, but it was really, really intense. [And] I fortunately got a doctor who helped me advocate for what I wanted. Don't get married at 22! I think if you marry someone that is so far apart in age, at least for me, there wasn't a lot of intimacy in that. It's nice to have someone that you can grow with — more of a friend as opposed to them being the successful teacher one, and you being the student, less successful, more dependent one. I would opt now for a relationship with more equality. The thing we have between us really is our craft. He wants to audition for a musical, so I'm gonna help him with the choreography. I've helped him with the choreography before when he had to dance on Dynasty. He helps me with all my self-tapes. We have a very artistic home. We're always singing, or he plays the piano, and it's a very creative space. That's the thing I like most. We have the same aesthetic; we like the same things. We move a lot, and he really trusts how I'm going to put together a home. [Despite] my longevity in the business and what I've done and the people that I've worked with already, like Billy Bob Thornton and Will Ferrell and Jay Roach, I never really got that kind of name recognition. I'm hoping that The Pitt will sort of catapult me into getting to work with some more artists that I really want to work with. Slow down, trust your instincts, and say what you mean — [but] don't say it mean. I [also] wish I appreciated that my skin wasn't wrinkly. To all the 30-year-olds out there, wear all the crop tops, wear all the short shorts. Love yourself. Love your body. Enjoy your body. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
