Larry David Adds Fuel to Seinfeld Series Finale Redo Speculations

A hint dropped in Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, episode 4, "Disgruntled," suggests that the speculation about Larry David potentially revisiting the controversial Seinfeld finale may hold some truth. The finale of Seinfeld featured Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer facing a court trial, where all their past adversaries appeared as witnesses. The series concluded with a dark scene showing the main characters being sent to prison. As Larry David faces his own trial in Curb Your Enthusiasm, it appears that a similar conclusion may be in the works.

After delivering water to Auntie Rae at the polling station in Georgia, Larry faced arrest and maintained his innocence, initiating a complex legal battle. Leading up to the trial, various adversaries of Larry, including Mocha Joe and Mr. Takahashi, have emerged, hinting at a potential revisit of the divisive Seinfeld finale. The latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm has further fueled speculation about a reimagined ending.

In one of the subplots of “Disgruntled,” Larry and Irma find themselves in couple’s counseling with therapist Dr. Melanie Stainback. Interestingly, Dr. Stainback is married to Hobie Turner, a former Seinfeld writer. Initially, Larry is bothered by the fact that he knows their counselor personally. However, Dr. Stainback reassures Larry that doctor-patient confidentiality prevents her from sharing any information with her husband. Despite this assurance, Larry is taken aback when he discovers that Dr. Stainback has broken this confidentiality during a lunch meeting with her husband, Hobie.

Larry seems reluctant to discuss the finale, but confirms that he did come back to write it. During their lunch, Hobie mentions that he wrote for Seinfeld in its last four seasons: two when Larry was still working on the show and two after he left. Melanie mentions that after leaving the show between seasons 7 and 8, Larry came back to write the series finale. This blatant reference to the Seinfeld finale seems to make a redo of that ending all the more likely to happen on Curb.
