Larry David excoriated Californians months ago in a public service announcement for failing to social distance and advised them, “Go home! Watch TV!”
At some point they’ll have a chance to tune in for new episodes of his “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
HBO announced Tuesday that it would renew the show created by and starring David for an 11th season, Variety reported.
“Believe me, I’m as upset about this as you are,” David, the co-creator of “Seinfeld,” said in a statement. “One day I can only hope that HBO will come to their senses and grant me the cancellation I so richly deserve.”
It’s not clear when filming will begin due to restrictions in place because of the coronavirus.

The show is filmed with only an outline, no script, and cast members improvise their lines. It premiered in 2000, took a hiatus in 2011 after eight seasons and was revived in 2017.
In his PSA for the state of California released April 1, David called on “the idiots out there” to stay home in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
“You know, if you’ve seen my show, nothing good ever happens going out of the house, you know that. It’s just trouble out there,” he said. “It’s not a good place to be.”
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
