HBO / Ron BatzdorffLarry David will live to kvetch another day.
Curb Your Enthusiasm will begin production on its seventh season this December. According to Variety, the 10-episode run will air sometime in 2009.
While no exact premiere date has been set, whenever its launch, it will end a lengthy drought of new Curb episodes—the sixth-season finale of the critically acclaimed comedy aired on HBO back in November 2007.
The laugh gap isn't unprecedented for the show, as there was an agonizing 21-month lapse between the series' fifth and sixth seasons.
As it is, confirmation of another season has the added cachet of making David's comic brainchild the longest-running series in HBO's current lineup.
As expected, no plot points have been released for the upcoming run, but the sixth season ended with Larry still separated from his wife. He was also seen to be cozily playing house with hurricane evacuee Loretta Black, played by Vivica A. Fox, though the jury's still out as to whether their coupling was real or simply a dream sequence.
