Larry David's new HBO sketch comedy premieres June 26. Watch him hilariously skewer American history in 'Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness'.

AceShowbiz - This summer offers plenty to look forward to for fans of Larry David. The acclaimed star of Curb Your Enthusiasm is set to debut a fresh comedy series on HBO titled Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness. The show is scheduled to premiere on Friday, June 26 at 9 p.m., according to the network’s official announcement.

This new project is a seven-episode sketch comedy series originally announced last July. It features Larry David alongside other comedy talents reenacting notable moments from American history. The timing is significant as it coincides with the United States celebrating its 250th anniversary this year.

HBO has provided a sneak peek of the series showcasing David in a humorous reenactment of the iconic World War II photograph of a sailor kissing a woman in New York’s Times Square on V-J Day. In the clip, Larry David plays an onlooker who tries to mimic the kiss but quickly encounters trouble when the woman’s sailor boyfriend reacts. (Viewers can press play on the clip above to watch.)

Larry David will serve as both writer and executive producer of the show, partnering with Jeff Schaffer, his colleague from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Additionally, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama are also executive producers on the series. The official synopsis indicates the cast will include select actors from Curb Your Enthusiasm along with notable guest stars.
