Lutz will appear in multiple instalments of The Comeback's six-episode second season.

Chris's storyline will reportedly see him romantically involved with fellow Room and Bored star Juna Millken (Malin Åkerman).

The first teaser for The Comeback's return premiered in May, two weeks after HBO announced that it will air the new episodes in the fall.

The Comeback originally aired for a single season back in 2005.
