“Curb Your Enthusiasm” ended its storied run on HBO.That’s because “Hapless,” premiering April 10 on Peacock, is extremely similar in tone and context to “Curb,” with a few exceptions — and is even described as a “cringe comedy” a la Larry David’s masterpiece.Season 1 of “Hapless” streamed very briefly on Prime Video in early 2020 (under the title “The Jewish Enquirer”) and is getting a shot now on Peacock (Seasons 1 and 2), hoping to fill the void left in the wake of “Curb’s” final episode, which aired April 7.

It was immediately renewed, with Season 2 dropping last October.“I’m really proud of [Season 2],” Hiddleston said.

fellow “American Idol” judge Katy Perry plans to exit the singing competition after this season.“I had heard whispers that she was thinking about it — it wasn’t like a huge shock,” the country star, 47, told Taste of Country. “I think she kinda just got caught up in the moment with Kimmel and maybe announced that she was done.”Bryan said that he and the “I Kissed a Girl” singer, who has been a judge since 2018, developed a very close friendship during their years on the show.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm.” At the end of the HBO comedy, titled “No Lessons Learned,” the show — which aired for 12 seasons, from 2000 to 2024 — circled back to the plot line that began when Larry was arrested in Atlanta for giving water to Auntie Rae (Ellia English) while she was standing on line to vote.
