HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm aired the final episode of its 10th season on March 22, 2020. That month also saw some of the early effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic register in the United States. At the time, many Americans witnessed shortages of household items such as toilet paper and disinfecting wipes. Government restrictions began going into effect, and soon after wearing masks became the norm. It was unclear after March 2020 ended whether or not the show would film a new season during the coronavirus pandemic. However, not long after fans received good news that production would soon be underway. It’s true that Larry David’s long-running HBO TV series Curb Your Enthusiasm was scheduled to return for season 11, although there was no release date set as of December 2020. In the past, the show had not aired a new season every year, which ran counter to most other TV shows that see annual renewals. On June 30, Variety reported on the series’ renewal: It was also true that the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm began filming in November 2020. The A.V. Club reported that the new episodes would be set in a post-COVID world. The website PopCulture.com exclusively interviewed one of the show’s stars, J.B. Smoove. Smoove provided details on protocols that were occurring on set: News that Curb Your Enthusiasm was filming a new season during the coronavirus pandemic may have surprised some fans of the all-too-neurotic David, who also co-created Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld. On April 4, 2020, The New York Times interviewed David on his thoughts about staying home during the pandemic. Co-star Cheryl Hines said: I bet Larry’s in heaven. He’s been trying to social-distance for years.
