TORONTO and CALGARY – A new comedy series, from the writer of Sex and the City, called The Comeback, will premiere June 5 at 10 pm on The Movie Network and Movie Central, Michael Patrick King
The series stars Lisa Kudrow (Friends) as the embattled Valerie Cherish. Created and executive produced by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King (award-winning writer for Sex And The City), The Comeback is a 13-episode half-hour series airing every Sunday night.
Valerie Cherish was once TV’s "It Girl", but now it’s a different story – and she’ll do anything to get back in the spotlight, says the press release. Desperate for a comeback, she agrees to star in a new reality TV series, allowing cameras to follow her every move as she lands a part on a new network sitcom.
Totally scripted, The Comeback explores themes such as: the madness of television; the absurdity of a Beverly Hills lifestyle; the dual roles of wife and step-mom; the pitfalls of growing older in Hollywood, and the bravery of a comic-tragic 40-year-old woman who is slowly sinking under the pressure of it all.
