The transmission date has been confirmed for the return of Larry David's acclaimed series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
It will start airing on January 28 at 2am on Sky Comedy, the brand new dedicated comedy being launched by Sky on January 27. It will also be on NOW TV and should be available as a boxed set.
Other shows on Sky Comedy will be Mrs Fletcher, starring Kathryn Hahn, The Righteous Gemstones starring John Goodman and Sunnyside, starring Kal Penn, who used to work in The White House.
Larry David cannot open his mouth without putting his foot in it – which is why he makes for such a splendid comic. Playing a heightened version of himself in this widely adored comedy, the co-creator of Seinfeld continues to get disproportionally annoyed about the most trivial things. He ties himself in knots, for instance, trying to work out who he should hold the door open for.
Having previously featured cameos from stars including Michael J. Fox, Ricky Gervais and Hugh Hefner, the series is a great example of that age-old comic notion of schadenfreude, the idea that nothing is funnier than someone else’s unhappiness.
Curb Your Enthusiasm. Sky Comedy & Now TV from January 27.
