After an extended hiatus, HBO’s hit comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is coming back, the premium cable channel announced on Tuesday.

The eighth and most recent season of the show, created by its star, Larry David, was broadcast in 2011. Mr. David, who was also a creator of “Seinfeld,” has said for years that he was unsure if there would be a ninth season.

HBO did not announce when the series’ ninth season would begin filming or when it would air.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” was broadcast from 2000 to 2011 with a total of 80 episodes. Mr. David’s vaguely autobiographical character became a beloved avatar of misanthropes everywhere. The show was nominated seven times for the Emmy Award for outstanding comedy series , and it won the Golden Globe for best comedy in 2002.
