Summary
- Valerie Cherish prepares for her Broadway debut in Chicago.
- The show pokes fun at Real Housewives stars in musical roles.

The highly anticipated third season of HBO's The Comeback has premiered, marking Lisa Kudrow's final appearance as Valerie Cherish. The initial episode immediately delivered sharp commentary on the entertainment industry, this time targeting Real Housewives personalities who have ventured onto the Broadway stage.
Valerie Cherish is depicted preparing for her role as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago. The narrative highlights her struggles with the demanding choreography and lyrics during limited rehearsals. This leads to a pointed question about whether she's receiving a simplified, "Real Housewives version" of the performance.
This satirical jab references numerous Bravolebrities, including Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, and Ariana Madix, who have previously played Roxie Hart. The episode also alludes to other Housewives, like NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss, who took on different roles in the production. Ultimately, Valerie Cherish withdraws from the production, citing her difficulties and conflicts with the cast.
New episodes of The Comeback are scheduled to air on Sundays on HBO, as part of the 2026 television lineup. Despite this being the show's concluding season, anticipation remains high for the remaining installments.
