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.

Curb Your Enthusiasm has wrapped filming on season 9, with actor Richard Lewis confirming the news on Twitter.

The show regular posted a photo of himself with creator Larry David and co-star JB Smoove, describing them as “two of the funniest comedians I've ever known”.

Little is known about the plot for the new episodes of Curb, which is returning after a five-year hiatus.

"In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, 'I left, I did nothing, I returned,’” David said when HBO announced the show would be back.

A 2017 release date was being eyed by HBO ahead of production, and with everything having apparently gone smoothly we should be good to get the new season before the year is out.

Jeff Garlin (Jeff Greene), Cheryl Hines (Cheryl David), Susie Essman (Susie Greene) are all expected to return, along with Smoove (Leon Black) and Ted Danson (himself).

Last November, HBO posted a video of Smoove at David’s trailer announcing the commencement of filming.

“We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of ‘Curb’ and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” HBO president Casey Bloys previously said.
