As the 2025 award season<\/a> (finally) comes to a close, the 2026 season is just getting started at SXSW. Every March, the Austin-based festival sets the tone for the season with a first peek at the year\u2019s most anticipated film and TV projects, and the 2026 lineup is no exception. So far, we\u2019ve gotten the debut of Boots Reilly\u2019s buzzy new film I Love Boosters, <\/em>Lola Tung\u2019s<\/a> first feature post-Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em>, and, for our money, the most crucial premiere of them all: the third and final season of the cult classic HBO sitcom, The Comeback<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Ella Stiller was just three years old when the first season premiered in 2005, and now, nearly 21 years later, she\u2019s landed a role as a series regular on the Lisa Kudrow-led show. Naturally, the vibes were high for the first press day of her career, sneaking away to the photo booth with her fellow cast mates and grabbing a bite at her new favorite vegan restaurant whenever she got the chance. She also attended a Comeback<\/em>-themed drag brunch before walking the carpet in her favorite dress she\u2019s ever worn \u2014 all in a day\u2019s work. <\/p>\n

To experience the festival through the eyes of a rising actor, keep scrolling.<\/p>\n
