HBO has picked up another season of its longest-running scripted series, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
The cult hit, that stars Larry David playing an over-the-top version of himself, has run on HBO for 20 years, taking a hiatus from 2011 to 2017, according to Forbes.
“Larry outdoes himself season after season and always manages to come back when the audience needs him most. We’re thrilled for him, Jeff Schaffer, and our phenomenal cast to continue making us laugh and cringe in equal measure,“ HBO Programming Executive Vice President Amy Gravitt said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The series also stars Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Vince Vaughn and Ted Danson.
The official Facebook page for the series posted a humorous statement from David on the challenges of playing ... himself.
“Playing the role of Larry David has been the greatest honor of my life. In researching this multi-faceted, multi-talented man, I discovered that there’s more to him than I ever could have imagined: He speaks six languages, brines his own pickles, and spearheads a national movement to install a bidet in every home. I’ve also been told from numerous sources that he is the most generous of lovers. I am so excited to once again transform into this force of nature. I only pray that I can do him justice.”
Production for the upcoming season has not been announced.
