Curb Your Enthusiasm to Return for Another Run

LOS ANGELES: HBO has renewed the hit Larry David comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, with ten episodes slated for its eighth season, which is set for 2011.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is HBO’s longest-running scripted comedy. The show concluded its seventh season last November, with 70 episodes to date. Production on the new episodes will begin this summer in Los Angeles and New York.

Michael Lombardo, the president of the programming group and West Coast operations at HBO, said, “Larry always loves to paint himself into a corner, and after the incredibly wonderful seventh season of Curb, you have to ask, ‘How does he ever top this?’ But he always finds a way. We can’t wait to see what he does in season eight.”

“After much soul searching—and by the way, it was nowhere to be found—I have decided to do another season of Curb,” added David, who stars in the series and also serves as executive producer.  “I look forward to the end of shooting, when I can once again resume the hunt for my elusive soul. I know it’s here somewhere or perhaps in the rugged mountainous regions of Pakistan.”
