Palisadian Larry David to Return in Season 12 of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

By LILY TINOCO | Assistant Editor

After more than two decades, HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is ending: Palisadian Larry David is back for the 12th—and final—season, scheduled to premiere on Max on Sunday, February 4.

The comedy television series—created by David, who stars as a fictionalized version of himself—first premiered on October 15, 2000. The plot follows David as a semi-retired television writer and producer, largely in Los Angeles and one season in New York. Previous seasons of the show have featured scenes filmed throughout the Palisades, including a home in The Huntington.

“The iconic Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning comedy series … offers a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the writer/producer/comedian’s fictionalized life,” according to Warner Bros. Discovery. “The comedy series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one’s day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events. To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script, and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.”

The trailer for the show’s latest season was released on January 11. The season is also set to star Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Cheryl Hines, J.B. Smoove, Richard Lewis, fellow Palisadian Ted Danson, Vince Vaughn and Tracey Ullman.

Season 12 comes over two years after the season 11 finale—which is not the longest gap between seasons of the series. There was a six-year gap between seasons eight and nine, according to Collider.

In December 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery announced season 12 would mark the end of the series.

“As ‘Curb’ comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be—the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” David shared in a statement. “And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”

The final season will be comprised of 10 episodes, airing each Sundays at 10 p.m. until the series finale on April 7. Catch up on past seasons on Max.
