The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning HBO Original comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, starring Larry David, will return for its twelfth and final ten-episode season on Sunday, February 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
New episodes of the final season will debut subsequent Sundays at the same time leading up to the series finale on April 7.
“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,” said Larry David.
“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.”
Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content, added: “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.
“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.”
In Season 12 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself. The iconic Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy series offers a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the writer/producer/comedian’s 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 the lines as they go.
The HBO series also stars Jeff Garlin (The Goldbergs), Susie Essman (Broad City), Cheryl Hines (Suburgatory), J.B. Smoove (Mapleworth Murders), and Richard Lewis (Anything But Love).
The cast is rounded out by Ted Danson (The Good Place), Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers), and Tracey Ullman (Tracey Ullman’s Show).
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 was created by Larry David. The executive producers are Larry David, Jeff Garlin, and Jeff Schaffer. The co-executive producers include Laura Streicher and Jennifer Corey.
