Larry David will return to television screens with a starring role in Clear History on HBO. 

The film is about a man who loses his stake in a start up after a petty argument. The business goes on to become a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Larry said he's been waiting for the right moment to make his comeback.

"It's an idea I had been thinking about for a while and then I read about the guy from Apple who sold 10 percent of his shares before the company took off, and I thought yeah, this might be a good time to do it now."

Clear History will premiere on HBO in the USA on August 10th.
