Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow didn’t mean to be so on the nose with the title of their HBO comedy “The Comeback.” But, it turns out, that has actually been the case for the show — every ten years, it makes another comeback.

“It’s more meta than we tried to be,” Kudrow tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. Adds King: “The second season we thought was going to come back right after the first season, and that did not happen, and here, it became our brand to be this thing that comes back every decade!”
