Michael Patrick King Hopes Nothing “Apocalyptic” Happens In Hollywood To Warrant ‘The Comeback’ Season 4
- Why Valerie Cherish is staying in retirement.
- What Michael Patrick King thinks about the ending.
- Why the show’s look was so special.
We just heard some news that makes us want to put on a bright red tracksuit and hide. It looks like Valerie Cherish is done for good. Michael Patrick King says he has no plans for a fourth season of The Comeback.
He told Deadline that he is very happy with how the show ended. He thinks the finale was a perfect bow for our favorite fictional diva. Unless something ‘apocalyptic’ happens in Hollywood, the cameras are staying off. This hurts. It really hurts.
We loved the specific vibe of this show. It had a raw, shaky-cam aesthetic that made everything feel real. The colors were often bright and harsh, just like Valerie’s personality. It felt like we were right there with the camera crew.
Speaking of crews, we were worried when a CBS News cameraman had a medical emergency recently. It reminds us how much work goes on behind the scenes. TV people really give it their all. Just like Valerie did.
It is always hard to say goodbye to icons. We are still thinking about the health details shared about Donald Gibb after he passed. These stars become like family to us over the years. We hate to see them go.
If you need a new show to fill the void, there are other great things out there. You should see this review of the new Camp Miasma slasher. It has that dark humor and style we crave. It might help you forget about the lack of Season 4.
Our Take
Valerie Cherish is a one-of-a-kind character. She taught us to keep smiling even when the world is laughing at us. While we want more, maybe it is better to leave a perfect story alone. We will just keep rewatching the old episodes and saying ‘I don’t want to see that!’
