From Friends to Family: Lisa Kudrow’s Son Joins HBO’s The Comeback
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to go to work with your parents? For most of us, that might mean a “bring your kid to work day” at an office. But in Hollywood, it can mean something a little more glamorous! We just got some exciting TV casting news that’s all about keeping it in the family. The much-anticipated revival of HBO’s The Comeback is adding some fresh faces, and one of them is very close to home for series star Lisa Kudrow.
A True Family Affair on Set
Get ready for this: Lisa Kudrow’s real-life son, Julian Stern, is officially joining the cast of The Comeback! How cool is that? In what’s sure to be an unforgettable experience, this will be his on-screen television debut, and he gets to do it right alongside his incredibly talented mom.
Talk about a supportive environment for your first big gig. While we don’t know the exact details of his role just yet, the possibilities are fun to think about. Will he play a new, young Hollywood type that Valerie Cherish has to deal with? Or maybe a production assistant on her latest project? Whatever the role, seeing that real-life mother-son chemistry on screen is going to be a treat. It adds a whole new, personal layer to a show that’s all about the blurred lines between reality and television.
The New Cast is Stacked with Comedic Gold
As if the Kudrow family connection wasn’t enough, the list of new recurring cast members is a comedy fan’s dream. The show is bringing in some serious talent to fill out Valerie Cherish’s world, and these additions are absolutely perfect.
From Broad City to HBO
First up, we have Abbi Jacobson! If you loved her on Broad City, you know she’s a master of awkward, hilarious, and heartwarming comedy. Her style feels like a perfect match for the cringe-worthy and brilliant humor of The Comeback. We can already picture her sharing a painfully funny scene with Valerie.
A Familiar Face from The Great North
Joining her is the one and only John Early. You might know him from Search Party or as a voice on The Great North. Early is a genius at playing characters who are both over-the-top and deeply relatable. His unique energy is sure to bring something special to the show. The cast is also rounded out by veteran actor Barry Shabaka Henley, adding even more depth to the ensemble.
And In Other Casting News…
The TV world is buzzing with more than just news about The Comeback. In another exciting update, the hilarious Kristen Schaal (you probably know her from Bob’s Burgers or What We Do in the Shadows) has been cast in the new show St. Denis Medical. It’s always a good day when we get more Kristen Schaal on our screens!
This new season of The Comeback is shaping up to be something truly special. Between the heartwarming addition of Lisa Kudrow’s son and the powerhouse comedic talents of Abbi Jacobson and John Early, it seems like the revival is in great hands. It’s a perfect blend of the show’s original spirit with a fresh, exciting energy.
