It's been almost a year since we were last treated with an episode of
Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO's one-hour mockumentary that stars
Seinfeld creator
Larry David. Network president Michael Lombardo has previously hinted that he has every intention of producing a seventh season despite his reluctance to make any promises, but there hasn't been any production update about show until now.
On the other hand, fans will be pleased to know that
Curb Your Enthusiasm will be back in production in December, according to
Variety. A source close to the series reveals that the 10-episode season 7 is expected to return next year, though a premiere date or an executive producer lineup hasn't been established yet.
When we last saw
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cheryl (
Cheryl Hines) separated from husband Larry, who seems to have moved on by forging a relationship with Loretta Black (Vivica A. Fox). Whether that was just a dream sequence, fans will have to wait and see when the HBO series returns with new episodes in 2009.
Delays of production have been mostly attributed to David working with Woody Allen for a new movie. And though David hasn't shared his ideas for the upcoming season with the network, rumors are already buzzing that the new season story arc will include Larry working on a Woody Allen movie, just like he did in real life.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was originally envisioned as a one-time project by both David and HBO. But the series, which is considered as a more subversive take on
Seinfeld's “show about nothing” premise, has gradually lured both fans and critics as it earned more than 20 Emmy nominations since 2000.
Should Larry and Cheryl stay separated?
