Sept. 20.

Just a few short weeks and the man we love to hate — or, at least, dislike a lot, even as we laugh both with and at him — is returning to HBO.

Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm are coming back for their seventh season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The story arc this season brings the cast of Seinfeld back together, too. A couple of episodes in, the four cast members — Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Michael Richards — play themselves and agree to a revival of the NBC series. They’ll be in five episodes and we’ll get to see everything but the full revival episode. We’ll see a read-through, rehearsals and filming.

James Hibberd at THR said there’d be other “familiar faces,” too (Newman!)

David even said it was “possible” the show would address Michael Richards N-word-laced comedy club tirade.

“It was like getting on a bicycle,” David said of writing “Seinfeld” dialog again. “Coming up with the right ideas about what they’d be doing 11 years later … that took some thought.”

As to whether the reunion show will be portrayed as good or a disaster, he wasn’t talking.

What I’ve loved about Curb is that Larry David is an incredibly stereotypical New Yorker, living in Los Angeles. On top of that, he’s also completely self-centered and even though he always wants to do the right thing, he has a helluva time doing the right thing.

If you recall, the end of last season had Cheryl divorcing Larry and Larry marrying the matriarch of the Black family, who came to live with him after Hurricane Katrina. Well, she (Vivica Fox) is still around, though that doesn’t mean Cheryl won’t appear, according to BuddyTV.

And the site also says Meg Ryan’s going to be on board.

I just pray, pray, pray that J.B. Smoove is back. The interplay between him and Larry was one of the funniest on-screen pairings ever.
