Curb Your Enthusiasm season 10: Larry David muses on release date - 'I’m not going to wait five years, that I can tell you'

The signs are prettaaaaaayyy good

Given there was a break of more than five years between Curb Your Enthusiasm seasons 8 and 9, it seemed going into s9 that it would be a last hurrah, a getting-the-old-band-back-together send-off.

But Larry David appears to have quite enjoyed bringing the show back and may not end things with last night's fatwa cliffhanger.

"If I do another season, I’m not going to wait five years — that I can tell you," David told THR with a smile recently, offering a good deal of hope.

Curb executive producer and Larry's right-hand man, Jeff Schaffer, meanwhile, said of the season 9 finale: "If it ended here, it would be a cool ending. But it doesn’t have to end here.

"It does end in a way where it could be the final Curb ever — because there’s always that chance — or not. I wouldn’t bet on Larry running out of ideas. That’s what I’ll say."

Sure, s9 didn't end up quite the water cooler talking point many expected given the hype, but it was a solidly funny season - one of the best - and there's still plenty for Larry to explore. Will he find that the only thing sexier than having a fatwa on you is escaping an assassination by fatwa? Will he ever try and win back Cheryl from Ted Danson?

At 70, Larry wouldn't want to wait too long to make another, perhaps final, season and well, 10 sure is a nice round number.
