Lisa Kudrow, ex-Phoebe, has signed on to guest star alongside Busy Phillips and former Friend Courteney Cox on the ABC comedy Cougar Town, an ABC spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
“If it all works out, she’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though the doctor is mean to me,” Courteney says of the guest spot, which is expected to air early next year. “She’s the best in town at what she does and I become addicted.”
The pairing of Lisa and Courteney will be the second time the two have reunited for a project in recent months. In June, Courteney played the part of a psychic on Lisa’s Internet series, “Web Therapy.”

“I fell in love with my wife on ‘Scream,’ so the opportunity to bring [Deputy Dewey Riley] back to life and for my wife to play that really bitchy character again, it’s just going to be really fun,” David said. “It’s just great.”
He added, “Kevin Williamson is writing the script at this moment, and hopefully Wes Craven is going to direct.”
Although Williamson recently said Neve Campbell — series heroine Sindey Prescott — is not on board for the next installment, David is still hopeful that she’ll reprise her role.
“I hope Neve does it,” he said. “I really hope so.”
