Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm will be hanging around for at least a 12th season. HBO officially renewed the award-winning comedy series for season 12.
Commenting on the renewal, series creator and star Larry David said, “Playing the role of Larry David has been the greatest honor of my life. In researching this multi-faceted, multi-talented man, I discovered that there’s more to him than I ever could have imagined: He speaks six languages, brines his own pickles, and spearheads a national movement to install a bidet in every home. I’ve also been told from numerous sources that he is the most generous of lovers. I am so excited to once again transform into this force of nature. I only pray that I can do him justice.”
In addition to Larry David, the cast includes Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Vince Vaughn, and Ted Danson. Larry David, Jeff Garlin, and Jeff Schaffer executive produce, with Laura Streicher and Jennifer Corey co-executive producing.
“Larry outdoes himself season after season and always manages to come back when the audience needs him most. We’re thrilled for him, Jeff Schaffer, and our phenomenal cast to continue making us laugh and cringe in equal measure,” stated Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming.
The critically acclaimed comedy has won Emmy, AFI, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild of America, and Writers Guild of America awards.
Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s synopsis: “Originally debuting on HBO in 2001 and with 110 completed episodes to date, Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Seinfeld co-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalized life.
The comedy series 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.”
