Fans of Larry David's long-running HBO comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm" will have to finally say goodbye after the series airs its finale in 2024.
In a statement to Variety, the "Seinfeld" co-creator confirmed the show's upcoming season 12 would be its last, with the finale for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" set to air April 7, 2024.
“As ‘Curb’ comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” David said in a statement to Variety. “And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" first aired as a one-time hour special on HBO in 1999, but after the special's success it was launched into a full series.
