A new season of Lisa Kudrow's "The Comeback" could be in the works

Deadline is reporting that talks are underway to possibly bring back a new season of Lisa Kudrow's brilliant HBO series "The Comeback."

HBO is in discussions with the series creators/executive producers Michael Partick King, who also served as director, and Lisa Kudrow, who toplined the show, about doing a new installment almost a decade after the first season. I hear it is being envisioned as a limited/event series.

"Comeback," which debuted in June 2005, was a docu-style single-camera comedy starring Kudrow as washed-up sitcom actress Valerie Cherish, who gets a reality show documenting her attempt at a career comeback with a role on a new sitcom.

The series, whose cast included Malin Akerman, didn’t go beyond the 13-episode first season, which earned three Emmy nominations, including a lead actress nom for Kudrow and a directing nom for King.

While it didn’t get a lot of traction during its original run, Comeback quickly achieved cult status, with fans still buzzing about it.

Viewers are far more used to the style and pace of shows like "The Comeback" and Arrested Development now with a slew of series that also include another TV industry satire toplined by a former Friends star, Matt LeBlanc’s Showtime comedy Episodes.

The Comeback has been listed by many as one of the most undervalued series in the past decade.

I personally LOVED the show. The line Kudrow walked as "Valerie Cherish" was amazing as she straddled being an out of touch loser versus rolling with the obstacles thrown her way.

I agree with Deadline in that the show was probably ahead of it's time.  But audiences will now be more open to the
