It was canceled after one season, but became a cult favorite, and so the show was revived for a second season in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>After that, it was shelved <em>again<\/em>. But now, a dozen years later, it&#8217;s back for season three, starting on HBO tonight.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To watch a trailer for &#8220;The Comeback&#8221; click on the video player below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/p1rVpVCNBgE?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com&amp;playsinline=1\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" title=\"The Comeback Season 3 | Official Trailer | HBO Max\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption>\n    <span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/p1rVpVCNBgE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Comeback Season 3 | Official Trailer | HBO Max<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hbomax\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">HBO Max<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We went to a taping at Warner Brothers in November, and it was clear that even after a decade away from Valerie Cherish, Kudrow hadn&#8217;t missed a step.<\/p>\n<p>Asked how it feels to be back in Valerie&#8217;s shoes, Kudrow described it as &#8220;unsettlingly comfortable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/07b9149d-2de7-4f53-a04a-0c0752f2d77e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/61ca3b0a73739bc72eda4a54986da277\/lisa-kudrow-filming-the-comeback-wide.jpg#\" alt=\"lisa-kudrow-filming-the-comeback-wide.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/07b9149d-2de7-4f53-a04a-0c0752f2d77e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/61ca3b0a73739bc72eda4a54986da277\/lisa-kudrow-filming-the-comeback-wide.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/07b9149d-2de7-4f53-a04a-0c0752f2d77e\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/7ac6a4f038668ec6bd4eea38ee37465d\/lisa-kudrow-filming-the-comeback-wide.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Lisa Kudrow filming the HBO comedy &#8220;The Comeback.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some things were missing. Actor Robert Michael Morris, who played Valerie&#8217;s loyal hairdresser, Mickey, died of cancer in 2017. And after that, Kudrow thought &#8220;The Comeback&#8221; was over. &#8220;It was a no for me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to do it without Mickey. Unh-uh. Don&#8217;t know how to do it without Mickey. No. No, no, no. No, no, no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But eventually she and King figured out a way to do a third season and honor Mickey, all while tackling issues like AI and a rapidly changing TV world. Among the new faces on the set: a tech guy played by Kudrow&#8217;s real-life son, Julian Stern.<\/p>\n<p>What was it like to have her son on set? &#8220;Oh, it was heaven,&#8221; Kudrow said. &#8220;It&#8217;s my baby! But he&#8217;s a grown man and beard, you know? Yeah. I was nervous for him, his first, like, table read. But he was great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julian&#8217;s been on a TV set before. When her &#8220;Friends&#8221; character Phoebe was pregnant, Kudrow was actually pregnant with Julian. What&#8217;s more, &#8220;The Comeback&#8221; is being shot on Warner Brothers&#8217; Soundstage 24 \u2013 the very same set where most of the 236 episodes of &#8220;Friends&#8221; were filmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/e9db7d96-27c7-4285-be8f-eebc913a6a43\/thumbnail\/620x349\/8fadb92600fd8bfc90b13ec003d36432\/lisa-kudrow-tracy-smith-on-set-of-the-comeback.jpg#\" alt=\"lisa-kudrow-tracy-smith-on-set-of-the-comeback.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/e9db7d96-27c7-4285-be8f-eebc913a6a43\/thumbnail\/620x349\/8fadb92600fd8bfc90b13ec003d36432\/lisa-kudrow-tracy-smith-on-set-of-the-comeback.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/21\/e9db7d96-27c7-4285-be8f-eebc913a6a43\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/2754373019f0f715f4c3c758f842408c\/lisa-kudrow-tracy-smith-on-set-of-the-comeback.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Lisa Kudrow and correspondent Tracy Smith on the set of &#8220;The Comeback,&#8221; filmed on the same soundstage where &#8220;Friends&#8221; was shot. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Was it special being back in the same place? &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Kudrow said. &#8220;On different levels, it definitely is. We finished up &#8216;Friends,&#8217; which was one of the biggest things in my professional life, and life, period. And now I&#8217;m finishing up &#8216;The Comeback&#8217; trilogy, same place where I finished the other most important thing. So, yeah, that made me a little emotional. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe more than a little? &#8220;Maybe more emotional. It did, yeah. And my nose is running now. I don&#8217;t cry, but my nose runs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I never went through that period of, &#8216;No, no, I don&#8217;t want to talk about &#8220;Friends.&#8221; I have to move on, and I want to play other characters. And no, you have to know me from \u2026&#8217; No, no, that&#8217;s fine,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And why is that? &#8220;Because &#8216;Friends&#8217; gave me everything. It just did. And I loved being Phoebe. I loved the whole experience. And it&#8217;s fine if all you know that I&#8217;ve ever done is &#8216;Friends.&#8217; How could I not be okay with that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, some of the memories are bittersweet. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/matthew-perry-friends-star-dies-age-54\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Castmate Matthew Perry died in 2023<\/a><\/span> from a drug overdose at age 54. During the 2021 &#8220;Friends&#8221; reunion special, Kudrow admitted she rarely watched the series. But after Perry&#8217;s death, she says she found solace in old episodes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I was self-conscious if anyone walked by and saw me watching my own show; it embarrassed me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But then, when Matthew passed away, there were marathons, and I watched it. And it really, it did comfort me. So, I very recently just started watching &#8216;Friends&#8217; before going to bed. &#8216;Cause I didn&#8217;t see all of &#8217;em.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She says she&#8217;s even surprised by some of what happens. &#8220;And it&#8217;s funny!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked if she thinks there&#8217;ll be another reunion of the cast, Kudrow said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t think so. You never know, like, why or how. Maybe it would make sense. I don&#8217;t know. Right now, I don&#8217;t think it does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Kudrow is focused on &#8220;The Comeback,&#8221; and Valerie Cherish, yet another iconic character that audiences just can&#8217;t seem to let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible she would revisit Phoebe Buffay? &#8220;I don&#8217;t know; that&#8217;s a good question,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not out of the realm.
