“We are thrilled that Larry will be back with his uniquely acerbic wit and comedic sensibility,” said Bloys.

And Larry David added:  “As I’ve said many times, when one has the opportunity to annoy someone, one should do so.”

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” has just received two Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series (Larry David) and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Debuting on HBO in 2001 and presenting 90 episodes to date, “Seinfeld” co-creator David plays an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalised life.

Season nine brought back series veterans Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Bob Einstein, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.

The latest season is also streaming on HBO GO via AIS PLAY and AIS PLAYBOX.
