Three seasons. Twenty years. And yet, it felt like it was only yesterday after we watched the official trailer for Michael Patrick King (And Just Like That…) and Lisa Kudrow The Comeback. With the series returning tonight to kick off its final run, Valerie (Kudrow) is faced with one of those good news/bad news situations. The good news is that she's being offered a chance to jump-start her career. The bad news? She's going to have to keep a very open mind when it comes to artificial intelligence. Yeah. That brings us to our preview for S03E01: "Valerie Gets a New Chapter," followed by a preview of the official podcast and a look at what Kudrow and the cast had to say about taking on AI and wrapping up the series with three seasons.
