After almost 24 years, Larry David and HBO are ready to say goodbye to Curb Your Enthusiasm. There’s one last season to go, the 12th, and it launches on HBO and Max on Sunday, February 4. A trailer landed today with our first look at the final season, and anybody worried that David might inexplicably change things up for the final season can rest assured. This is definitely the Curb we’ve known and enjoyed throughout this entire damn century so far.
Here’s what we’re store for with season 12: more uncomfortable situations, more awkwardness, more yelling, Susie Essman will say “fuck” at least twice, and tons of famous people will pop up. Along with long-time regulars David, Cheryl Hines, Essman, Jeff Garlin, and J.B. Smoove, and regular guests Ted Danson, Tracey Ullman, and Richard Lewis, the trailer also reveals that Sharlto Copley, Dan Levy, and Sean Hayes will be popping up during season 12. You’ll see that for yourself if you click pay on the embedded YouTube video below but we’re also writing it out because we can’t just run a YouTube video with no text as an article. We’re Paste, we do words, and hopefully you read them, if you want to.
If you aren’t one for reading, though, go ahead and skip down below and just watch that trailer already. Of course if you aren’t one for reading you’ve probably already done that without even glancing at all these dumb words up here. That’s not really a Catch-22 but we’ll raise the possibility that some could misconstrue it as such, if only to have even more words to put here. (We haven’t actually read Catch-22 but we think we have a solid grasp on the concept, and this whole time by “we” I’ve been meaning myself, the one solitary guy responsible for all of these words. Hi.)
Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s 12th and final season premieres on Sunday, Feb. 4, on HBO and streaming through Max. Here’s that trailer. Hopefully Larry David does something else after this because it’ll be weird to not have his voice on our TV set after 35 years (y’know, between Seinfeld and Curb).
Oh wait, you know David did the Seinfeld show, right? I could’ve mentioned that at some point, I guess. Damn.
