Larry David is the hero we all need, although he is also quite lazy, in a new trailer forCurb Your Enthusiasm Season 9, which pokes some fun at the superhero genre. The trailer features a few references to the show itself, including a theater marquee that only reads “Mr. Simmington” (Ricky Gervais), the Al Abbas chicken restaurant, and some graffiti in an alley that reads “Respect wood,” before we see a Bat-signal type of device on a rooftop, but instead of shining the iconic Batman logo, it shines Larry David’s face. Upon seeing this signal, Larry decides he doesn’t want to answer the call, since he’s relaxing in bed.
While we still have a few months left before this long-awaited season ofCurb Your Enthusiasm, you may already see some episodes early, if you aren’t opposed to going through illegal channels. As part of the massive HBO cyber-attack, hackers haveleaked Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, months before they are slated to air on HBO. Larry David has yet to comment on the leak of his episodes, which are the first episodes of the hit series since Season 7 aired way back in 2009. These same hackers have also leaked episodes ofBallersandRoom 104, with episodes ofGame of Thronesalso leaking during unrelated incidents.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy seriesCurb Your Enthusiasm, starring Larry David, returns for its ten-episode ninth season Sunday, October 1 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), on HBO. The show starsSeinfeldco-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his life. The new season brings back cast favorites Cheryl Hines as Cheryl, Jeff Garlin as Jeff, Susie Essman as Susie andJ.B. Smoove as Leon, as well as series veterans Richard Lewis, Bob Einstein, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen. The new trailer premiered onHBO YouTubeearlier today.

Weide, Jessie Nelson and Bryan Gordon.Curb Your Enthusiasmwas created by Larry David, and executive produced by Larry David, Jeff Garlin and Jeff Schaffer. No plot details have been released for this season quite yet, and since none of these trailers seem to feature any actual footage, it remains to be seen when we may get any actual story details in regards to this new season.
There has also been talk of aCurb Your Enthusiasm movie, which executive producer Jeff Schaffer mentioned during an interview, long before Season 9 was fully confirmed by HBO. We haven’t heard anything official about aCurb Your Enthusiasmmovie at this time, or whether it would be a theatrical endeavor, or if it would be an HBO movie. Larry David did reach a new level of popularity last year for playingBernie Sandersin aSaturday Night Livesketch.
