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.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
