Seinfeld Cast To Reunite On Screen
August 1st, 2009
Larry David has confirmed what Seinfeld fans have been holding out for: after more than a decade, the sitcom’s principal cast members will once again team up in prime time TV! David says viewers will “get an idea of what happened to the characters 11 years later”.
Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will all appear together in the season seven finale of David’s show, Curb Your Enthusiasm. It will be the first time that the four actors will act together since 1998.
On the show, we’ll see David and Seinfeld both playing themselves and writing an episode of Seinfeld.
The other three actors, also playing themselves, will take part in script-read throughs and rehearsals before the show-within-a-show is filmed – so viewers will “get an idea of what happened to the characters 11 years later”, David confirmed. “You won’t see a show from beginning to end, but you’ll see parts of it.”
David, 62, who co-created Seinfeld in the early ’90s, said the four cast members will appear separately in five episodes during the series, before joining together for the last episode.
During an appearance at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Pasadena, California, yesterday, David explained, “I always said no to a reunion. We would never do that, it’s a lame idea. And then I thought it might be very funny to do that on Curb. And I kept thinking about it, and started to think of different scenarios. I called Jerry, and Jerry was game. I called the others, and we did it.”
