Curb Your Enthusiasm officially back in 2011
For Immediate Release
HBO RENEWS HIT COMEDY SERIES CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM,
STARRING LARRY DAVID, FOR EIGHTH SEASON
LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2010 – HBO has renewed the hit comedy series CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, starring Larry David, for a ten-episode eighth season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, Programming Group and West Coast Operations, HBO. Production of the new episodes will begin this summer in Los Angeles and New York, with debut slated for 2011.
Said Lombardo, “Larry always loves to paint himself into a corner, and after the incredibly wonderful seventh season of CURB, you have to ask, ‘How does he ever top this?’ But he always finds a way. We can’t wait to see what he does in season eight.”
“After much soul searching – and by the way, it was nowhere to be found – I have decided to do another season of CURB,” says Larry David. “I look forward to the end of shooting, when I can once again resume the hunt for my elusive soul. I know it’s here somewhere or perhaps in the rugged mountainous regions of Pakistan.”
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 life. The series also stars Cheryl Hines as David’s wife Cheryl, Jeff Garlin as David’s manager Jeff and Susie Essman as Jeff’s wife Susie.
Concluding its seventh season last November, with 70 episodes to date, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is HBO’s longest-running scripted comedy or drama series. Season seven inspired critical raves, with the Washington Post calling the show “side-splitting,” and hailing David as “the best thing to happen to TV comedy,” while Newsday declared, “Larry David is a comic genius,” and the Boston Globe described the series as “the funniest show on television.”
Season seven credits: CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is executive produced by Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Gavin Polone, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Tim Gibbons and Erin O’Malley.

I'd love to see a reality TV show with Larry. Just hire 2-3 guys with cameras to follow him around with an editor, and tell him to just "be himself". Instant classic that sure to make money.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm officially back in 2011
Well I meant in terms of episode count though. I mean after the 8th season of Curb airs they'll have more episodes but as of now I think The Sopranos is the longest running series they've had. The way that article says it "with 70 episodes to date, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is HBO’s longest-running scripted comedy or drama series." I guess its not a huge deal hah just saying though.

Has anybody heard when Curb Your Enthusiasm will premiere in 2011?
I've heard July and possibly even November..........
I've seen those promos on HBO, so hopefully it will be here by summer.
Thanks for any info.

Awesome. So excited for this show to start up again! Nice surprise having Michael J Fox as a guest star in addition to Ricky Gervais.

Love that new video piece.
Only Larry David could say what he said to Michael J. Fox about his illness.

Looks great.
I did get a kick out of Larry David saying, "I thought that after last season, having the Seinfeld cast on, we needed to do something slightly different, and New York seemed like a good idea," when Seinfeld was set in New York. And of course, immediately after I hear them mention a softball game and I think of "The Understudy."
Great to see J. B. Smoove is returning as Leon. I'm really looking forward to Michael J. Fox and Ricky Gervais guest starring.
Larry: "That was Parkinson's too?"
