‘Curb Your Enthusiasm‘ is set to end, for good this time, as Larry David announces the 12th Season of his hit Emmy and Golden Globe-winning show will be the last when it premieres in February 2024 on Sky in the UK and HBO & MAX in the USA.
Starring Larry David as an over-the-top version of himself, the iconic comedy series offers a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the writer/producer/comedian’s fictionalized life. The show continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one’s day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events. To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.
“As Curb comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” joked David about the series ending. “And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
The Season 12 cast also includes Jeff Garlin (“The Goldbergs”), Susie Essman (“Broad City”), Cheryl Hines (“Suburgatory”), J.B. Smoove (“Mapleworth Murders”), Richard Lewis (“Anything But Love”), Ted Danson (“The Good Place”), Vince Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers”), and Tracey Ullman (“Tracey Ullman’s Show”).
“It’s hard to say farewell to such a ground-breaking, brilliantly funny and iconic series like Curb Your Enthusiasm, which has left its mark across television and the comedy genre,” adds Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content. “Working alongside Larry David and Jeff Schaffer as well as all of the comedic masterminds that comprise our producers, cast and crew has been a joy that I will always treasure.”
The series had previously taken a break back in 2011 after eight seasons before returning with season nine in 2017. However, this time it does seem to be ending for good. Over the years the show has received critical acclaim and has grown in popularity since its debut, particularly for its writing and the actors’ improvisational comedy, which has amassed a staggering 51 Emmy nominations and two wins; five Golden Globe nominations and one win, as well as multiple nominations and wins across the various guilds, including SAG, DGA, and WGA.
‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ is created by Larry David, who also executive producers alongside Jeff Garlin and Jeff Schaffer. The co-executive producers are Laura Streicher and Jennifer Corey.
‘Curb Your Enthusiasm‘ Season 12, the final season, is set to premiere Sunday, 5th February 2024 on Sky Comedy in the UK, and will air Saturday, February 4th, 2024, on HBO and streaming service MAX in the USA.
