We now have a teaser trailer and an official release date for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 11, and we’re feeling pretty… pretty, pretttayy good.

The short clip sees creator and star Larry David’s head slowly come into screen as a subtitle reads “the world has changed” before adding “but he hasn’t”.

It then confirms that the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is set to air on October 24 on HBO Max.

It comes after HBO announced the news of a new season 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.

Along with a release date, we also 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.”

Earlier this year, Curb star Richard Lewis revealed he wouldn’t appear in the upcoming season due to undergoing a number of surgeries.

“What a ride, LD! I love you, buddy,” he wrote in a post on social media.

“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.”

Lewis additionally told Variety: “For 20 years, I had the greatest comedy gig I could have ever imagined with my oldest and dearest friend LD.

“Honestly, I’m crushed that I won’t be part of this season. For sure, I will be screaming with all the other Curb fans when the new season starts. Hope to be there for Season 12!”
