After the final episode of The Comeback, where Valerie Cherish bids her final farewell, Michael Patrick King announced that he does not plan to bring this fictional diva out of retirement. The co-creator of HBO's mockumentary-style reality show expressed his satisfaction with the series finale in an interview with Deadline. Despite the ten-year wait between the three seasons, King and co-creator/star Lisa Kudrow have no plans to revive the show in the future.

Addressing the third season's AI-focused storyline, King said, "It took a long time to find the right machine to build a show." He also expressed hope that he would not face any "apocalyptic scenarios" in the next decade. While this provides a definitive closure regarding the show's future, it also requires fans to accept that Valerie Cherish's story ends here.

The creator believes that the final season of The Comeback offers a satisfying conclusion in terms of character and story development. This is seen as a significant milestone for both viewers and producers. King's statements evoke nostalgia among the show's fans while also reminding them that it is time to focus on new projects.
