HBO Originals

The Comeback, Season 3

The Comeback - Season 3

Stop everything you’re doing, and go binge-watch the first two seasons of The Comeback, before the third season hits the streaming platform on March 22. This Lisa Kudrow-led series, which premiered back in 2005, has long been hailed by fans and critics alike as the hidden gem of HBO.

The series quickly gained a cult following, and after years of fans begging for a season 2, creator Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow finally unleashed a brand new season nearly a decade later, in 2014. Now, 12 years since season 2, the series is back with a third and final season for fans to devour. Lisa Kudrow gives the performance of a lifetime in her leading role as Valerie Cherish, the has-been actress who takes her career a little too seriously- to the deep detriment of everyone around her.

DTF St. Louis

DTF St. Louis

Here’s another HBO original that you’re surely going to want to see. The dark comedy follows a group of middle-aged suburbanites who are on a quest to live before they die. That is, they decide to spice up their bedroom activities by downloading a hookup app called DTF. Their quest to heat up their sex lives takes a fatal turn, with one of the main characters unexpectedly dying while in the pursuit of passion. With a rich ensemble cast including Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini, you know you’re in for something special with this brand new series, premiering on HBO Max March 1.
