Summary
- HBO renews Curb Your Enthusiasm for season 1
- Larry David’s approach to each season as potentially the last adds intrigue to the creative process.
- The show’s irregular release history hasn’t affected its consistent cast, who will likely return for the upcoming season.
- Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, set to release in February 2024, suggests that post-production is nearing completion, ensuring a timely release.
HBO has confirmed it has renewed Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm for season 12. Larry David has previously said that he approaches each season of Curb as if it was his last, so it will be interesting to see how this impacts on the creative process for the upcoming season. Originally debuting in 2000, the show follows a semi-fictional version of comedian, writer, and producer Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld as he gets himself into all manner of awkward situations.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is noted for its irreverent humor and biting social satire, and the series hasn’t been on a very strict schedule since it returned from a six-year hiatus in 2017. The cast of Curb Your Enthusiasm has been mostly consistent in the 20-plus years since the series debuted, and their return is the anchor that has kept the show going throughout its rather sporadic release history. Since the show’s 2017 return, David and the rest of the Curb crew have always been evasive about the show returning for new seasons, but the upcoming season 12 is definitely happening.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Latest News
The most recent update regarding Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 came in early November 2023, when Curb was finally given a more firm release window. The release window for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 is set for February 2024 and comes as welcome news after the show wrapped principal photography all the way back in March 2023. A specific air date hasn’t been revealed yet, but the weekly half-hour comedy institution will likely receive an exact update very soon.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Production Status
With a February 2024 release window established, it is clear that Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 is most likely either completely finished with its post-production, or nearly there. Perhaps because a release window has been given instead of an exact date, that means that finishing touches are being put on the latest batch of episodes and HBO isn’t pigeonholing themselves into a release date that isn’t going to be reached.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Cast
It’s highly likely that the core Curb cast will return alongside Larry David for season 12. Jeff Garlin, who plays Larry’s friend and agent, Jeff Green, is also a producer on Curb Your Enthusiasm, so he is a safe bet for returning. With Jeff Garlin back, he’ll likely be joined by Susie Essman as his on-screen wife. Other recurring cast members like Ted Danson, Cheryl Hines, J.B. Smoove and Vince Vaughan will also be expected to return, given the loyalty that David appears to foster in his co-stars.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Story
Aside from Larry’s day-to-day awkward interactions with those around him, each season of Curb has had an overall story arc. Beginning with a burglar drowning in Larry’s pool, season 11 followed the production of Larry’s new TV show, Young Larry. Blackmailed by one of the burglar’s relatives, Larry cast terrible actor Maria Sofia and made increasingly elaborate attempts to end his ordeal. As Larry has clearly survived his drowning in the season 11 finale, perhaps Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 will make another attempt to kill off Larry David.
