Larry David’s long-running semi-scripted comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was renewed for the 11th season in 2020, shortly after Season 10 concluded. Since 1999, the show has aired on HBO infrequently, with a six-year break between Seasons 8 and 9. However, fans will not have to wait that long for Season 11, as production has already begun.
“Curb Your Enthusiasm” chronicles the adventures of a fictionalized David as he nitpicks and stumbles about Los Angeles. Typically, episodes focus on one or more of David’s pet peeves, culminating in a social gaffe that ties together the episode’s numerous storylines. He’s taken on DVR, appointment scheduling, birthday party schedule, and magic tricks. It’s an exaggeration of George Costanza, David’s persnickety “Seinfeld” character. Jeff Garlin also stars as Larry’s manager and best buddy, J.B. Smoove as his roommate, and Cheryl Hines as his ex-girlfriend. What can we expect from Season 11 of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”?
When is Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 11 premiering?
We don’t have a firm date for the start of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Season 11, but we do have some hints. On April 14, 2021, Jeff Garlin spoke on The Ringer’s podcast “10 Questions with Kyle Brandt” and hyped up the forthcoming season. “I’m filming right now,” he said, “We have three more weeks remaining and we’ll have a season that’ll probably come out, I’m guessing, in the fall.”
Filming on “Curb” is pretty fast and loose. Each scene is outlined, but the dialogue is improvised in each take. “Sometimes the first take truly sings because everything is fresh and no one’s attempting to repeat what they did previously. Sometimes it takes six before we even have an idea as to what the heck we’re doing,” “Curb” director and EP Robert Weide stated in a 2000 interview. “By take eight, we’ll have it down fairly well, then I’ll go in for covering.” That unstructured shooting method necessitates a lot of time in the editing bay, where the show finally comes together.
Who’s in the cast of Curb Season 11?
David, Garlin, Hines, and Smoove have all been confirmed by Variety to be returning their roles for Season 11. Susie Essman, who plays the wife of Garlin’s character and the antagonist of David’s, will also be returning. Season 10 also notably featured Ted Danson, and he could very possibly return. Originally, Richard Lewis was slated to take a vacation from “Curb,” citing health difficulties. But after three surgeries, he felt good enough to return for one episode. “Great news for me! Although I’m still healing from three surgeries and missing Season 11 of Curb, LD called me and asked if there was any way if I felt strong enough to do one episode!” Lewis tweeted on April 22. “I am and here I’m on the set to shoot it. I’m grateful.”
“Curb” is also notable for its liberal use of cameos. Previous seasons have included guest spots from Ben Stiller, Jon Hamm, “Orange Is the New Black” star Laverne Cox, Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson, Jane Krakowski, and Coldplay leader Chris Martin.
What is the plot of Curb Season 11?
In his podcast interview, Garlin claimed that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Season 11 would briefly touch on the COVID-19 epidemic. “Except for the first episode, we don’t do any COVID things,” he said, adding that most people probably aren’t wanting to be reminded of the global pandemic that has impacted every part of life over the previous years half. “The first episode touches on [COVID], there are several things. But it’s a post-COVID world in ‘Curb.'”
Season 10 of “Curb” includes plots regarding sexual harassment charges, as well as Larry starting up a “spite store.” When Larry was disappointed with service at a store called Mocha Joe’s, he pledged to start a cheaper coffee store next door. Named Latte Larry’s, the store eventually burns down along with Mocha Joe’s. Alice – the assistant who accused Larry of sexual harassment — hooks up with Mocha Joe, and the two acquire a property near Larry’s out of spite. It seems plausible that Alice and Mocha Joe will return in Season 11 — if they’re all neighbors.
