HBO iconic sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm has been axed after its upcoming 12th season.
The writer and comedian of the Hollywood show Larry David has announced that he is ending the much-loved series. As The Hollywood Reporter, Larry released a statement about the end of the show.
He said: “As Curb comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be — the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character.

“And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”

Additionally, HBO CEO Casey Bloys said: “It’s hard to say farewell to such a ground-breaking, brilliantly funny and iconic series like Curb Your Enthusiasm, which has left its mark across television and the comedy genre.”
“Working alongside Larry David and Jeff Schaffer as well as all of the comedic masterminds that comprise our producers, cast and crew has been a joy that I will always treasure,” Bloys concluded.
