The new season, which comes from the show’s original creators Michael Patrick King and Kudrow, premieres to HBO and will stream on HBO Max on March 22. A new episode will debut each week leading up to the series finale on May 10.
The trailer shows off what this third and final chapter in Valerie Cherish’s (Kudrow) journey will consist of. We see her starring in and executive producing a sitcom called How’s That?!, which she loves, before she discovers the show is being written by AI.
This new trailer comes more than 20 years after the first season of the show debuted in 2005 and more than 10 years after season 2. King and Kudrow will both executive produce the season, which will include other returning series regulars Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young.

Michael J. Fox is quashing fears that he had died with humor and reassurance.
The Back to the Future actor took to social media on Wednesday to confirm he is alive and doing “OK” after a CNN package mistakenly posted online appeared to indicate that Fox had died.
“How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” Fox wrote on Threads after a now-deleted CNN package titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” was shared online, according to media reports.
Fox went on to list a few theoretical ways one may react to seeing reports of their own death.
“Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”
“I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok,” he added.
The actor signed the post “Love, Mike.”
A CNN spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday that the package “was published in error.”
“We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family,” the spokesperson added.
Fox has been open about his health issues since announcing his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 1998.
The actor spoke to People in 2020 about his decadeslong experience with the disease, saying, “Optimism is sustainable when you keep coming back to gratitude, and what follows from that is acceptance. Accepting that this thing has happened, and you accept it for what it is.”
He continued, “It doesn’t mean that you can’t endeavor to change. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it as a punishment or a penance, but just put it in its proper place. Then see how much the rest of your life you have to thrive in, and then you can move on.”
Fox attended PaleyFest in Los Angeles this week, appearing at the Shrinking season 3 wrap celebration on Tuesday evening, according to an Instagram post that Fox reshared on his Instagram Story Wednesday.
The actor appeared in three episodes of the Apple TV+ series this past season, guest-starring as Parkinson’s patient Gerry.
Poster for RZA’s ‘One Spoon of Chocolate’ (36 Cinema Distribution)
RZA’s film One Spoon of Chocolate has moved from the 2025 Tribeca Festival to U.S. movie theaters. The film stars Shameik Moore as Unique, a just-released prisoner and military veteran trying to rebuild his life in Ohio, where RZA spent his teenage years. RZA confirmed parts of the story draw from his own experiences in the state.
“There was a lot of corruption in that town that I spent time in, to be quite honest with you,” RZA tells ABC Audio, recalling what he was told following his 1991 arrest and subsequent acquittal. “My lawyer said to me … ‘I fought so hard for you to win your case because I knew this whole town was corrupt and they wanted you to go down, not because of the case, but because of how you look.'”
“There was some experiences there that definitely found its way into the film,” he says, including racism, though RZA clarifies the story is “less about the villains, but more about the hero.”
“Like how about we get a hero like Shameik Moore … who’s trying to find a better life and yet gets to a place where they’re trying to stop their life from flourishing,” he says.
In the film, Unique makes it his duty to physically confront the sheriff and his team who have been targeting Black men. He reads a survivalist handbook, prepares himself for the moment and ends up victorious.
While there are many themes in the story, RZA emphasizes preparation.
“Every man should walk in the world in peace, but he should always be prepared for the war,” he says, before referencing a quote from in the film. “He says, ‘I didn’t win because I was Black or that I was better than you.’ He said, ‘I was better prepared.'”

Michael B. Jordan won best actor at the Academy Awards Sunday for his dual role in Sinners, becoming the sixth Black actor to take home the award.
Speaking backstage, he reflected on the honor and the balance between being ambitious and trusting the path meant for you.
“There is a selfishness in understanding that in your craft, in your industry, this is a pinnacle,” he said. “This is what our industry standard is, it’s what we put value on in a big way. That competitiveness, you do want that.”
At the same time, he said success comes down to timing.
“What’s for you is for you,” he continued. “And you can’t take anybody’s blessings away…So I’m just like walking my path, man, and just trying to be locked in.”
He encouraged actors and artists “to keep that in mind” during their journeys, to remain honest and continue dreaming big.
In Sinners, Jordan played twin brothers Smoke and Stack. To prepare, he imagined the history they shared after spending their whole lives together.
“Just imagine you being in a partnership for like 30-something years. How many times they would argue? How many times they would keep score on who’s right and who’s wrong?” he said, noting he built those layers so it could feel like they had a real history.
Director Ryan Coogler said he always believed Jordan was perfect for the role.
“I knew I had to call Mike,” he said backstage. “He ended up calling me before I got to him and asking me if I would be interested in something he was working on independently. And I told him it wasn’t the right time.”
He said Jordan got upset, forcing him to tell him about Sinners earlier than he intended. “Thankfully he said yes,” Coogler said.
Sinners also won the Oscar for best original screenplay.
