Curb Your Enthusiasm had aired its original episode in September 2011, and the nearly five-year gap since has seen neither HBO nor David ready to publicly dismiss the idea of revisiting the show.
On the network end, former programming president Michael Lombardo had said he was “cautiously optimistic” about more Curb — while David, in keeping with his schtick, often appeared less than optimistic in the many instances he’s been pressed about the subject. On his decision to revisit his alter ego, David had this to say: “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’”
It is the first big move for newly minted programming chief Casey Bloys, who assumed creative reins at HBO just a month ago. He shared the news during a sit-down at the Banff World Media Festival. In a statement, he said, “We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of Curb and can’t wait to see what he has planned.”
