HBO renews The Comeback for a third season
The Comeback has been renewed for a third season.
The hit sitcom - which premiered in June 2005 - has been renewed by HBO, and the broadcaster has confirmed that it will be the "final season" of the show.
The Comeback stars Lisa Kudrow as sitcom actress Valerie Cherish living in modern-day Los Angeles, and the last season of the show aired in 2014.
Lisa and Michael Patrick King - the show's co-creators - said in a statement: "Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did."
Amy Gravitt, the executive vice-president of HBO and Max comedy, is thrilled that the show is returning to HBO, and she "can't wait to see" the new season.
Amy said: "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."
Last year, Lisa revealed that she would love to make another season of The Comeback.
The 61-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Phoebe Buffay in Friends - loved her time on the show, and she felt like another season was "due".
Asked about the possibility of reviving the show, Lisa told Newsweek: "Oh God, I'd love to. Michael Patrick King and I are always talking about what would happen next. Always. And it's been nine, 10 years now. So, we're due."
Lisa is also thrilled that The Comeback still gets praise from fans.
The actress feels "proud" that people are still so fond of the show, even though it previously received a mixed response from critics.
She said: "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."
Despite this, Lisa previously played down the idea that The Comeback might be revived.
She told The Daily Beast: "I don't think we're gonna make it! Not make it ever, but I don't think we're gonna make it in nine years. We also don't know if HBO wants it, by the way."

‘I will always love you': Excited Wiggles meet legend Dolly
Australian music legends The Wiggles have saddled up with country superstar Dolly Parton in a meeting that was extra special for one Wiggle. After collaborating on two songs together remotely, Friends! and We Will Always Be Friends, the country legend and Aussie performers finally met up in Nashville, Tennessee. They had the chance to link while The Wiggles were performing in Parton's home State during their USA tour. 'From growing up singing her songs to actually singing with her, this was truly a dream come true,' The Wiggles said on social media. 'Meeting Dolly in Nashville felt like a big warm hug. Her kindness, joy and sparkle are everything we imagined and more. 'Dolly, you're a legend, a light and a friend for life.' It was an extra special meet up for Red Wiggle and super fan Caterina Mete, who has a tattoo of Parton on her forearm, which the country music singer signed. The Aussie music group met up with the country megastar. Credit: The Wiggles Mete brought along her twins — Dolly and Gigi — with the former named after the country sensation, who Parton was delighted to meet. 'Hello Dolly, I'm Dolly,' the 9 to 5 singer said to the one-year-old. The Aussie music group met up with the country megastar. Credit: The Wiggles After meeting all the current members of The Wiggles, the group came together for a photo with Parton showing her appreciation for the Aussie icons. 'Thank you for being part of my life,' she said. 'Let's get a picture, let's get famous together.' Before saying cheese, the group had to teach Parton how to do their signature 'Wiggle Fingers'. The Wiggles are currently on the US leg of their Bouncing Balls tour, fittingly for their country music album Wiggle Up, Giddy Up where Parton featured on two songs. The album has cameos from other Aussie and international country music singers including MacKenzie Porter, Troy Cassar-Daley, Morgan Evans, Slim Dusty and Travis Collins.

Labubu's mega mark-ups make Pop Mart a $66 billion export giant
Forget electric vehicles or fast fashion. The driver of some of China's biggest retail profit margins is a plush, pointy-eared, serrated-tooth monster called a Labubu. Labubu, Beijing toymaker Pop Mart International Group's star character, is fuelling a global collectibles craze. The company posted a gross profit margin of nearly 67 per cent last year, among the highest of Chinese firms with major international reach. By comparison, homegoods and toy retailer Miniso Group's margin was about 45 per cent, while consumer electronics maker Xiaomi and EV powerhouse BYD came in around 20 per cent. What began as a niche toy obsession among young Chinese has exploded worldwide, with a human-sized Labubu auctioned for up to $US150,000 ($230,000) in Beijing and fans queuing for hours outside Pop Mart stores from Sydney to Los Angeles ahead of new releases. Celebrities like reality star Kim Kardashian and Lisa, of K-Pop mega band Blackpink, have showcased their Labubus, only heightening the doll's cult status. Even actor Brad Pitt and the cast of his new film F1 The Movie filmed a TikTok video unwrapping the toys while promoting the project this month. Morgan Stanley now calls Pop Mart one of the world's fastest-growing global brands on record, and it has a market value of about $US43 billion ($66b). Shares have soared 182 per cent so far this year. Overseas sales will exceed domestic in 2025, the brokerage says. The phenomenon marks a rare mainstream breakthrough for Chinese pop culture in Western markets, long dominated by giants like Walt Disney and Hello Kitty owner Sanrio. Pop Mart is riding the global collectibles trend fuelled by social media toy 'hauls' and unboxings, while also flipping the traditional retail model: It keeps manufacturing costs low and sells mainly through its own stores, relying on a direct-to-consumer strategy that cuts out middlemen. There's 'a growing tendency for consumers to seek fragmented, instant and affordable 'dopamine' — sources of happiness — in the age of mobile internet and social media,' said Chen Luo, head of China consumer research at BofA Global Research. 'We believe such trends are going to sustain in the mid-to-long term.' Many toys are priced higher in Western markets than they are at home in China. Pop Mart can command margins of up to roughly 75 per cent in the US, even with tariffs, Morgan Stanley said, projecting that sales in North America will match China's by 2028-2029. Pop Mart's sales will rise to $US6b in 2027, a more than 500 per cent increase from 2023, the brokerage estimated. Labubus come in various sizes and dozens of outfits and accessories, enticing fans to collect them all. Pop Mart sells many of its toys in so-called blind boxes, where buyers don't know which figure they're getting — leading to repeat purchases in pursuit of specific characters. One keychain-sized Labubu blind box is currently offered online at 99 yuan ($21) in mainland China, compared to $US28 in the US. Pop Mart's rapid success in the West stands out amid growing trade tensions, as it avoids export restrictions that have challenged Chinese firms like Huawei Technologies. While Chinese EV makers saw their first annual sales decline in Europe in 2024 due to trade friction, Pop Mart has expanded its global footprint with little political resistance. Pop Mart didn't respond to an emailed request for comment. Consumers across the US, Europe and Australia are lining up for the chance to flaunt their latest Labubu purchases on TikTok and Meta's Instagram. The craze is proving resilient despite rising living costs and trade tensions. Pop Mart's Western expansion is capitalising on that demand, with more than 70 per cent of its sales in Europe and the US now coming from local consumers — rather than Chinese expats or tourists — according to a China Merchants Securities International note. America revenue soared about 900 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, while Europe surged by roughly 600 per cent in the same period — outpacing the approximately 100 per cent growth seen in mainland China, Pop Mart said in an April business update. Overseas business is proving more profitable, too: Gross margins were about seven percentage points higher than those in mainland China. Markets outside the mainland accounted for nearly 39 per cent of the company's total revenue at the end of 2024. By that point, the company had opened more than 100 stores outside the mainland, including an experiential outlet at Paris's Louvre Museum and a K-Pop-themed space in Seoul. Pop Mart plans to open around 100 outlets outside the mainland in 2025, the company said on its official WeChat account in March. Still, Pop Mart's reliance on Labubu could risk becoming a vulnerability. Its other characters have yet to generate the same global mania, raising questions about long-term sustainability. Chinese buyers are already contending with soaring resale prices and a flood of counterfeits. Pop Mart's shares dropped in Hong Kong in June after China's state media called for tighter oversight of blind boxes, raising concerns over the Labubu business. And unlike legacy intellectual property giants like Disney and Sanrio, Pop Mart's characters lack enduring storylines that can span generations. 'Pop Mart's business model relies on constantly replicating hit products — and it is overly dependent on one or two viral products,' said Chen Da, founder of investment consulting firm Dante Research. 'You will never know if some celebrity endorsements will be able to successfully deliver another product that goes viral.' Bloomberg
