The Emmy Award-winning sitcomCurb Your Enthusiasmwill come to an end with its upcoming twelfth season. Starring Seinfeld creatorLarry Davidas a semi-fictionalized version of himself,Curb Your Enthusiasmfollows Larry’s life as a semi-retired television writer and producer…focusing on all manner of social scenarios that irritate him along the way. Season 12 is scheduled to premiere in February on HBO and Max, with David confirming that it will be the last outing for the show.
“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’re able to reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
Curb Your Enthusiasmhas been expected to end multiple times over the years, with executive producer Jeff Schaffer once saying toVariety, “Every season is the final season.” But, it sounds like the twelfth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm will indeed, finally, for real this time be the last.
HBO CEO Casey Bloys said of the hit sitcom coming to an end…
“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.”
