I hope you're game for more cringe-worthy comedy because HBO has renewed the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy series CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, starring Larry David, for an eleventh season.
“This past season tapped into the zeitgeist in such an uncomfortably delightful way,” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming. “Larry is already busy writing, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store.”
Curb creator and star, Larry David, then said, “Believe me, I’m as upset about this as you are. One day I can only hope that HBO will come to their senses and grant me the cancellation I so richly deserve.”
Originally debuting on HBO in 2001 and offering 100 episodes to date, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM stars “Seinfeld” co-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalized life. When the series' ten-episode tenth season debuted earlier this year, the show welcomed Curb veterans like Susie Essman, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, J.B. Smoove, and Ted Danson back to the fold.
Presented as a comedic take on how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life – a long line at the coffee shop, a stained shirt, a dull razor – can lead to a series of unfortunate events, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go. While this formula doesn't always yield the best results, this approach certainly has worked for Curb since the show's 2001 debut.
