We have some pretty, pretty, pretty good news: Larry David is coming back to HBO with a whole new season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

The cable network announced plans for a ninth season of the award-winning show, five years after the last episode aired in 2011. We tried, but we just can’t contain ourselves.

“We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of ‘Curb’ and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” Casey Bloys, the head of HBO programming, said in a statement released Tuesday.

Asked why he wanted to come back, David said, “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’”

Welcome back, Larry! How we have missed you, let us count the GIFs.
