Curb Your Enthusiasm has been sporadically releasing new seasons for the last decade, with season 10 wrapping up last year, with a renewal announced soon after.
Whenever season 11 is happening, one cast member will sadly have to sit it out.
Richard Lewis, who has played a fictionalised version of himself since season 1, has revealed that he can't join co-star and creator Larry David for the next batch of episodes due to health issues.

"What a ride, LD! I love you, buddy," he tweeted. "Tragically, these past 18 months I’ve endured a back and two shoulder surgeries and not able to be in #curbyourenthusiasm for season 11. I’ll be watching... @HBO."
This isn't a full-time departure for the actor/character, however, as he stated to Variety that he definitely plans to return in the future.
"For 20 years, I had the greatest comedy gig I could have ever imagined with my oldest and dearest friend LD," he said. "Honestly, I'm crushed that I won't be part of this season.
"For sure, I will be screaming with all the other 'Curb' fans when the new season starts. Hope to be there for Season 12!"
