Lisa Kudrowsays there probably won’t be a third season ofThe Comeback— at least not in 2023.
It’s not that the actress isn’t interested in reviving the comedy, but she can’t bring herself to have the conversation with HBO.
Kudrow, 59, said she and co-creatorMichael Patrick King"don’t know if HBO wants it …. But we haven’t asked. We’re both sort of like, ‘I’m not gonna ask, are you?’ ‘No, I don’t want to hear ‘no.'"
She continued in conversation withThe Daily Beast: “It’s something we love so much. That’s why it took nine years the first time!”

“I don’t think we’re gonna make it!” she admitted. “Not make it ever, but I don’t think we’re gonna make it in nine years.”
