As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end.” Much like Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons, we just thought Curb Your Enthusiasm would go on forever. But after 12 seasons on HBO, and 51 Emmy nominations, the iconic comedy series from Larry David, where he plays himself (sorta/kinda) is coming to an end. HBO has announced that the upcoming season, which debuts in February, will be its last. The final season will consist of 10 episodes. Here’s what Curb Your Enthusiasm star/producer/creator Larry David had to say about the show’s upcoming ending, and it’s in typical Larry David-speak:
”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. 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.”
Cast members returning for Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s final season include Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Cheryl Hines, J.B. Smoove, Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Vince Vaughn, and Tracey Ullman. Despite this being Curb Your Enthusiasm’s twelfth season, the show actually debuted on HBO way back in 2000. So, if it were an actual person, it would be graduating from college already, which is wild to contemplate. The reason for there only being 12 seasons over that many years is that the show had a five-year break from 2011 to 2017. And there were other smaller breaks in between.
The final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm debuts on Sunday, February 4. on HBO. It also streams on Max the same day. New episodes will drop every Sunday, with the series finale arriving on April 7. We can’t wait to see how Curb Your Enthusiasm will end.
