HBO's 'Curb' will feature 'Seinfeld' reunion

HBO 's announced the renewal of  "True Blood," "Hung" and "Entourage" for next season, but are still talking about the future of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," which stars Philadelphia's Jill Scott as a "traditionally built" detective in Botswana.

Programming president Michael Lombardo cited cumulative ratings -- totals for multiple showings -- of 11 million for "True Blood," 10 million for "Hung" and 8 million for "Entourage."

Other HBO nuggets:

-- "Curb Your Enthusiasm" returns for a  seventh season on Sept. 20, with an arc that will focus on the "Seinfeld" reunion that the real Larry David -- as opposed to the "Curb" Larry -- has avoided for years.

-- Filming's wrapped on the pilot for Martin Scorsese's "Boardwalk Empire," and Lombardo said he's waiting to see it before ordering a series. "Our fingers are crossed."

-- Emmy-nominated "Big Love" will be back in January.

-- As for a third season of "In Treatment," "we're trying to put it together," in light of the fact that it's adapted -- pretty closely -- from an Israeli series that's only had two seasons, said HBO co-president Richard Plepler.

-- Asked if "Flight of the Conchords" will return for a third season, Plepler said, "When they're ready, we're ready," but stars Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have an album to write first.
