According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming 12th season of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" will likely close out the series.
Season 12 wrapped production this week, and was apparently treated as a series finale; writer/producer Jon Hayman shared a since-deleted tweet announcing that he was "shooting the last scene of the last episode of the final season."
- Co-star Richard Lewis also sent a tweet from set that had an air of finality, noting that it's "hard to believe we started in 2000."
- HBO and "Curb" star and creator Larry David have a long-standing "open-door policy," allowing David to return with new seasons whenever he feels ready.
- However, 2023 marks the end of David's current HBO contract, so further "Curb" seasons would require him to ink a new deal with the network and streamer.
- Apparently, the creators originally planned to kill David's character off at the end of Season 11, but filmed an alternate ending in which he survived, thus clearing the way for Season 12.
- "Curb" is now HBO's longest-running series.
