Has HBO given Curb Your Enthusiasm season 11 the green light?
It is not often that we come across a comedy show that simply blows our minds away. When HBO first corroborated the pilot of stand-up comic Larry David’s ‘Curb your Enthusiasm’ in 1999 it did not really know what it was in for.
This widely successful series is bold, cheeky, unsentimental, ridiculously funny, and highly addictive. Its unabashed and cynical characters leave you confused and amused at the same time.
Highlights
- ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’: Cynicism at its best
- Larry David’s unapologetic cringe comedy
- Release date and probable storylines
The name ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ itself is a dig at over-enthusiastic people who try to take too many initiatives just to show that they are better than everyone else and is also directed at the audiences asking them to not expect much out of it. The show released 10 seasons between 2000 and 2020, so how soon can we be expecting a season 11?
‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’: An unapologetic cringe comedy
The hilarious, observational comedy chronicles the life of a fictionalized version of Larry David himself and his character, too, is known to be the creator of the iconic sitcom, ‘Seinfeld’. The series mostly revolves around his interactions and relationships with people and shows David quite often at a loss during them.
The show derives its humour from mundane life and is made in the style of a ‘mockumentary’. Every episode usually tells a different story except for a few storylines that are continued through multiple episodes. ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ has come to be known for its unpredictability and celebrity guests.
The show frequently takes on social obligations that David’s cynical character questions. One such social obligation is the “stop and chat” when someone bumps into an acquaintance. Several isolated events often come together at the end of an episode either to David’s advantage or disadvantage.
The award-winning show has been critically acclaimed for the improvisational comedy of its actors and crisp storytelling. It’s an unapologetic and outrageous cringe comedy that will have you hooked in no time. Season 10 saw widespread success and that only leads us to the next question–When is season 11 coming?
Season 11-Release date, probable storylines
Season 10 opened with a sexual harassment allegation against David and ended with his coffee shop burning down due to an accidental fire, in typical ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ fashion. So, what is next in store for the series? When can we get to see a season 11? The answer to this is “whenever Larry David wants”.

The deal between HBO and Larry David is that the network will green-light new seasons of the show at David’s discretion. HBO’s President of Programming, Casey Bloys told “Deadline”, “The deal with Larry is that he tells us when he is ready to go. If he tells us he wants to do more, we’ll do more.”
He continued, “He doesn’t die or anything [in season ten], I can reveal that now. There is nothing that would prevent [more seasons]. He’s thinking about what he wants to do” hinting that the next season might be in works soon.
However, the only inconvenience that fans have felt with this popular show is that the waiting period for the next season is always ambiguous. As memory serves, season 8 of the series premieres six years after season 7 and a couple of seasons premiered two years ahead of the previous one.
There is no official confirmation on the next season from HBO but sources believe that a season 11 is definitely in the works.

The next season might be taking on the pandemic and “social distancing in Larry David’s life”, something that the character has been shown in favour of since the beginning of the show’s run.
Jeff Schaffer, the executive producer thinks that this is a good idea because it suits the character’s beliefs. He was quoted saying, “But look, Larry tried to tell everybody how to behave. He hadn’t been a fan of handshaking for a long time. He puts the Purell on the tables. He doesn’t want you defecating anywhere near him.
And he was practising social distancing long before there was a term for it. I think he was born with it”. When asked about when can we expect to see season 11, Schaffer teased, “Here’s what I would say: Larry doesn’t want to do another season until he has enough great ideas to make a season he’s 100-percent happy with. But I wouldn’t bet on him running out of ideas”.
