Added Amy Gravitt, executive vp comedy programming for HBO and Max, “No matter what the industry throws at her, Valerie Cherish is a survivor. On the 20th anniversary of her debut, Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow have brilliantly scripted her return to HBO, and we can’t wait to see that.”

Michael Patrick King, the show's creator, is reuniting with Kudrow for the third and final chapter in Valerie Cherish's story. They both will also executive produce the season. Other returning series regulars include Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young.
