Where to Watch The Comeback in the UAE

The Comeback streams on OSN+ in the UAE. All three seasons are available, making it the complete Valerie Cherish experience from her 2005 reality TV debut to her 2026 comeback attempt.

The Comeback Official Trailer

Here's the official trailer for The Comeback's latest season:

What Is The Comeback About?

The Comeback follows former sitcom star Valerie Cherish as she desperately tries to revive her career through increasingly humiliating television projects. Created by Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, this mockumentary series is a razor-sharp dissection of Hollywood's treatment of ageing actresses.

Season 1 saw Valerie agree to star in a reality show whilst landing a supporting role on a new sitcom, allowing cameras to capture every mortifying moment. Season 2 jumped forward eight years to show her attempting a comeback through an HBO series about her original reality show experience — meta doesn't begin to cover it.

Kudrow's performance as Valerie is both painful and brilliant, creating a character who's simultaneously delusional and tragically aware of her declining status. The show earned critical acclaim for its unflinching look at ageism, sexism, and the entertainment industry's casual cruelty, with Season 2 receiving Emmy nominations including Outstanding Lead Actress for Kudrow.

How Many Episodes Does The Comeback Have?

The Comeback has 29 episodes across three seasons. Each episode runs approximately 30 minutes.

The series has a unique release pattern, with nearly a decade between each season — perhaps mirroring Valerie's own struggle for relevance.

Watch Order

Watch The Comeback in chronological order:

1. Season 1 (2005) — Valerie's reality TV and sitcom experience
2. Season 2 (2014) — Her HBO comeback attempt
3. Season 3 (2026) — The latest chapter in Valerie's journey

Each season builds on the previous one's events, so starting from the beginning is essential for the full cringe experience.

Lisa Kudrow transforms completely from Phoebe Buffay into Valerie Cherish, proving her dramatic range whilst maintaining her comedic genius. The supporting cast, including Laura Silverman as her long-suffering assistant Jane and Damian Young as her agent Mark, creates a perfect ecosystem of Hollywood dysfunction around Valerie's delusions.

Is The Comeback Kid-Friendly?

The Comeback is definitely not suitable for children. With a TV-MA rating, it contains strong language, adult themes, and sexual content throughout.

The show deals with mature themes including workplace harassment, ageism, and the darker aspects of the entertainment industry. Recommended age: 18+

Is The Comeback Free to Watch?

No, The Comeback requires an OSN+ subscription. At AED 49/month for standard quality or AED 65/month for 4K Premium, there's no free trial available.

However, du customers can text OSN to 3232 or etisalat users can text OSN to 1741 for potential bundle deals. With 29 episodes at 30 minutes each, you're getting about 14.5 hours of content — roughly AED 3.38 per hour of Valerie Cherish's spectacular self-destruction.

Can I Watch The Comeback While Travelling Outside the UAE?

Your OSN+ subscription works globally, but the available catalogue may vary by region. The Comeback should be accessible in most territories where OSN+ operates.
