Curb Your Enthusiasm is officially confirmed to be back for another season.

You’ll now need more than two hands to count the number of Curb seasons that exist, as the new season marks its eleventh in the season.

HBO announced the news via Twitter, sharing a post of the show’s star along with a caption: “You’re allowed to be happy, but not in front of me. #CurbYourEnthusiasm is back this October.”

Like the rest of the film industry, the show’s production had been halted due to COVID-19.

While there has been no official release date announced for the show, we do have an idea of some key characters who are set to be returning and some who will not be.

A character who will be returning is of course, J.B Smoove, who joined the crew on Season 6 in 2007.

In an interview with Pop Sugar last year, Smoove spoke on returning to the show. “The crew at Curb Your Enthusiasm is doing so amazing,” Smoove said.

“We have our testing every day. It’s a mini-bubble, almost. We keep the crew and the cast tight. Everyone is tested from the crew to makeup. You name it. Everyone is on a schedule and we just keep everybody safe.”

Smoove also added what we might be able to expect from his Season 11 character.

He said, “I put down a tweet last year… I said, ‘Brand new Curb, Same old Leon.’ You learn your character, you learn who he is, you learn what people love about him. It’s kind of like a golf swing. You keep working on that golf swing to the point where you don’t have to look at the ball no more. You just hit it.”

As per NME, Richard Lewis unfortunately won’t be returning to the Curb set. Lewis announced the news via Twitter.

“What a ride, LD! I love you, buddy. Tragically, these past 18 months I’ve endured a back and two shoulder surgeries and not able to be in #curbyourenthusiasm for season 11. I’ll be watching…⁦@HBO.”
