Everyone, hold on. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is not over.
The show just wrapped over the weekend, and Larry David is in the editing room. A wrap party was held on Saturday night. According to my sources, there was NO talk of this being the series finale, or that “Curb” would not return for a 13th season. (Who can keep count after 20 years plus?)
The season final episode wrapped up plot points from the season. There was no big farewell.
I’m told the two people who posted strange Tweets about this being the “series finale” quote “would not know anyway and it wouldn’t come from them.”
So this is all pretty, pretty premature.
Indeed, as one source with the show told me: “There have been other times when we thought it was over, then Larry says come back. We had a six year hiatus once. Anything is possible.”
It’s also possible that those Tweets were sent as contract negotiations. Everyone in TV is belt tightening. “Blue Bloods” just agreed to pay cuts to return for a 14th season on CBS. “Curb” is not a blockbuster in the ratings. But it has a loyal following, it’s good stuff for HBO, and gets awards attention. It could go on for years, frankly.
“Is it over?” says a source, “I don’t think so and there’s been no hint of it. But if it, we had a good run.”
My money is on Season 12.
