“Curb Your Enthusiasm” is going out with a bang, as Larry David couldn’t leave his long-running comedy without making a few more enemies.
In the final season trailer, released by HBO on Thursday, Larry bickers with his usual combatants — Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Ted Danson and of course Susie Essman — as well as a slew of guest stars including Dan Levy, Sean Hayes, Vince Vaughn and Tracey Ullman, who reprises her role as City Councilwoman Irma Kostroski. Series mainstays Jeff Garlin and J.B. Smoove also return.
In one scene in the trailer, Irma explains over dinner how “Larry could grow breasts” by taking antibiotics, to which Larry responds: “I’d be pretty cute. Prettay… prettay… prettay… cute.” The final season will also feature Larry hitting the links, as he pelts a stranger in the back with a golf ball and Jeff accuses him of cheating.
And, in a quote that sums up the essence of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry says, “I really did the best under the circumstances of a person who hates people and yet had to be amongst them.”
The 12th and final season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” premieres Feb. 4 at 10 p.m. on HBO and Max. The 10-episode season will conclude with a series finale on April 7. Announcing that this would be the last batch of episodes of the beloved sitcom, David said in a statement, “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. 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” is executive produced by David, Garlin and Jeff Schaffer. Laura Streicher and Jennifer Corey are co-executive producers.
