Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

What with all the Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks hype this summer, it's easy to forget that a brand new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm will follow these shows.

The long-awaited, almost-never-happened ninth season arrives on HBO and Sky Atlantic (TBC) in October, and there was a panel for it at the Television Critics Association event this week.

Bryan Cranston, Nick Offerman, Jimmy Kimmel and Elizabeth Banks were confirmed by HBO to be among its guest stars, though there was no word on whether they'll play themselves a la Ben Stiller, John McEnroe or fictional characters a la Vivica A. Fox, Dustin Hoffman.

Long-serving cast members Cheryl Hines, J.B. Smoove, and Jeff Garlin have been confirmed for a return, alongside Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.

Elsewhere during the panel, Larry David stunned the audience by confirming that he has discovered he's related to Bernie Sanders.
