Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to HBO for a twelfth season. Larry David confirmed the news at a TV Academy event for the Directors Guild of America. David and Curb executive producer Jeff Schaffer were in attendance.
Back in February, HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys stated that “as usual, when [Larry] has an area that excites him, we will do more.”
And it seems David is excited about something.
Curb Your Enthusiasm premiered on HBO in 2000 and was based on an hour-long special that David and HBO originally planned as a one-off project. Since its premiere, the series has been nominated for 47 Primetime Emmy Awards — winning twice, once for directing and once for editing — and won the 2003 Golden Globe for Best Television Series — Best Musical or Comedy Performance three times, hasn’t won the award yet taken home.
Throughout its eleven seasons, the show has featured an impressive roster of guest stars, including Martin Scorsese, Jon Hamm, Michael York, and the main cast of Seinfeld for what some fans consider a much better season finale for the NBC sitcom than what aired in 1998 became.
While no details are available at press time, Curb’s main cast is believed to be returning for another mess with the perpetually testy David, including Jeff Garlin, JB Smoove, Cheryl Hines and the unforgettably snotty Susie Essman.

The previous season ended last December and found the fictional (but probably not so fictional) David dealing with a dead burglar, his pool and his new show Young Larry. Who will be bothering David and Co. this year? Who knows, but there’s certainly no shortage of irritating people in Los Angeles for David to confront.
