The Best Comedy Series Of The Decade Canceled, Final Season Announced

The series famously held a running green light from HBO, allowing David to come and go with new episodes as he pleased with very few notes or restrictions, making the show some of the sardonic comedian’s most unfiltered and esoteric material ever produced.

Once Seinfeld concluded its historic television run in 1998, series co-creator Larry David could have rested on his mountain of money and never addressed his keen observations to the public ever again.

Luckily, the New York-born comedian was discontent with retired life, opting instead to create Curb Your Enthusiasm for HBO.

The series, which sees Larry David portraying an exaggerated version of himself, has been commonly referred to as ‘Seinfeld on steroids’ by fans, due to the show’s observational humor, combined with the no-holds-barred guidelines on nudity, cursing, and other adult material.

Now, after running 12 seasons in 24 years, Larry David has chosen to say goodbye to Curb Your Enthusiasm finally, and with it, his exaggerated television persona.

In a statement to the press announcing the show’s official conclusion, David released a sarcastic remark regarding his joy at throwing the repugnant persona of television Larry away, and finally embodying the spirit of a kind, humble, and caring person for the first time in all his 76 years.

The series will forever go down in history as one of the greatest turn-of-the-century comedies, inspiring generations of comedic storytellers, and even spawning a prolific meme with its ear-worm theme song.

For now, there are very few details available regarding the upcoming 12th season, though some cast members have been confirmed.

Tracey Ullman’s Irma Kostroski is confirmed to be back for the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, along with series regulars such as Jeff Garlin, Ted Danson, Cheryl Hines, J.B. Smoove, Vince Vaughn, and Richard Lewis.

Like most other seasons of the show, we’re sure to see a few star-studded cameos from A-list actors as well.

Of course, it seems unlikely that Larry David will opt for a massive Curb Your Enthusiasm finale given his past. Though the rogues gallery of guest performers would surely make for an incredible ensemble piece.

Fans have already begun calling for a Curb spin-off starring some of the show’s funniest side characters such as J.B. Smoove’s Leon Black, who joined the cast back in the season 6 episode, “The Anonymous Donor.”

Richard Lewis has already confirmed that this season would be his last with the show, due to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease which has begun to hinder his mobility.

Curb Your Enthusiasm will begin airing its final season on HBO and Max starting February 4, 2024. The final ten episodes are set to air weekly, concluding with a series finale on April 7.

No matter how it all shakes out, one thing’s for sure: it was a prettay… prettay… prettay… prettay good show.
