I don’t do want to see that!
HBO is in preliminary discussions to revive Lisa Kudrow’s late, underrated showbiz satire The Comeback, TVLine has confirmed.

According to Deadline, the update is being envisioned as a limited series event, not unlike Arrested Development‘s recent resurrection via Netflix.
The Comeback, which debuted on HBO in 2005, was cancelled after one very low-rated season. The series, and Kudrow’s alter ego Valerie Cherish, went on to develop an avid cult following.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Comeback co-creator Michael Patrick King said, “Lisa and I actually have had a couple of lunches lately where we’ve been missing Valerie and wondering where she’d be. That’s just a creative exploration Lisa and I are doing. We care so much about Valerie and the work that we did that, in hindsight, felt so edgy. Lisa and I have been amusing ourselves, and maybe somebody else might be amused in the future.”
