Against the odds, Curb Your Enthusiasm is coming back. The Larry David vehicle finished up its 11-year, eight-season run on HBO back in 2011, and that seemed like the end.

It was announced last year, however, that we would be returning to Larry's life, with Season 9 set to hit on October 1. It'd take an insane effort to make it through all 80 episodes of the show but, whether you've seen it before or not, it's certainly worth either having a go or just watching some of the classics.

The series is one of HBO's biggest comic successes, with the actors playing heightened versions of themselves, an improvisational style, and the very particular worldview of its star, who finds a great deal of annoyance (and realism) in everyday situations, with often hilarious results. Shows can struggle after an extended period away, but something like Curb shouldn't be affected too much by the break. When the return was announced, David said:

"In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, I left, I did nothing, I returned."

This should be pretty, pretty good.

Return Date: October 1
