Curb Your Enthusiasm (new on HBO / Crave)

The biggest news this week has to be season 11 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which premieres on the 24th. Many have commented their impatience on seeing Larry David take on the pandemic, which we have to assume will take up a large part of the season. On Oct. 28, Crave has the premiere of the newest Star Trek animated show, Prodigy. Kate Mulgrew returns to voice her cult character Captain Janeway, with other voices handled by Jason Mantzoukas, Ella Purnell and more. Other highlights include the newest season of Insecure starring Issa Rae (it starts airing, once a week, on Oct. 24), a new documentary about Oscar Peterson (Oct. 22) and the supposedly batshit police thriller Fatale starring Hilary Swank (also out today).
