Earlier this year, TV fans were delighted when it was confirmed that Return will return for a third and final season, premiering in 2026. In case you didn't know, the HBO sitcom first aired back in 2005, but was canceled after its first season.
Nine years later, in 2014, it was renewed for an eight-episode second season, leaving fans to wait another 11 years for news of an upcoming final season.
Stars of the show Lisa Kudrow as a seasoned sitcom actress named Valerie Cherish, who tries to revive her acting career after a ten-year hiatus – and ends up doing reality TV in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
Despite what one might assume due to the long gaps between seasons, Return has been a huge hit with viewers and has a loyal following, so when details of what we can expect from season three were revealed yesterday, people were keen to find out as much as possible.
At the HBO Max launch in London on Wednesday evening, Lisa and her co-writer: Sex and the City legend Michael Patrick Kingconfirmed that the third season will hit our screens in March, and that Andrew Scott joined the cast.
They also revealed that the series will revolve around Valerie's role in the first-ever sitcom written entirely by artificial intelligence, as Michael explained. Diversity: “The joke that has already been played is that AI is bad. I mean, it was two awards shows ago—everyone was like, “ChatGPT wrote my speech.” So we had to dig deeper and figure out what the problem would be if the AI actually learned quickly and people tried to keep ahead of it. So yeah, I mean, we were worried about what would happen to everyone. It feels like the present moment.”
But unfortunately, when it comes to this plot, there has been a huge misunderstanding with many social media users – somehow! – erroneous interpretation of the report as confirmation that Return itself is the first sitcom written entirely by artificial intelligence.
Wednesday night Pop Crave is harmless tweeted: “In season three's The Return, Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) was cast in the first sitcom ever written by an artificial intelligence,” and all hell quickly broke loose on the social networking site.
And, of course, these responses caused concern among other X users with one incredibly viral tweet. noting: “judging by the quotes and comments, people read “written by AI” and nothing else.”
