Los Angeles, Nov. 24 (Reuters): Former Friends star Lisa Kudrow is mounting a Comeback at HBO.
The premium cable channel has picked up 13 episodes for a series starring Kudrow as a one-time sitcom star who is trying to revive her career.
Kudrow and former Sex and the City executive producer Michael Patrick King co-wrote the pilot script for Comeback and will executive produce the series.
In the pilot, directed by King, Kudrow was joined by co-stars Robert Michael Morris, Damian Young, Laura Silverman, Malin Akerman, Robert Bagnell and Lance Barber.
Comeback is the first half-hour show picked up to series since Sex and the City bowed out in the spring after six years. HBO has been actively pursuing new comedy projects in the wake of the departure of Sex. Friends, meanwhile, ended its 10-year NBC run in May.
