Larry David Plans the Ultimate Seinfeld Reunion Fans Have Yearned for Over a Decade

Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 is full of references to Seinfeld’s finale, hinting at a possible sitcom reunion that fans last saw in 2009. Throughout the final season, the show has been dropping callbacks to Seinfeld, which is Larry David’s most famous sitcom creation. Interestingly, these references have been even more frequent than usual. In addition to the season premiere teasing a repeat of Seinfeld’s series finale, each episode has mentioned David’s time on Seinfeld, classic episodes from the show, or former crew members.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12's Seinfeld Finale Teases Mean Jerry Seinfeld Has To Return

Seinfeld’s impact on the real and fictionalized Larry David’s legacy has never been understated throughout Curb Your Enthusiasm. Indeed, the overarching season 7 storyline involved the fictional Larry and Jerry Seinfeld writing and filming a reunion special over a decade after Seinfeld’s divisive finale. Curb season 12 has been similarly building up callbacks in each entry, with episode 4, “Disgruntled,” specifically mentioning how Larry David left Seinfeld after season 7 only to return and pen the series finale. Consequently, it seems as if David could be setting up a bigger Seinfeld cast payoff for Curb’s ending.

Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, episode 2 concluded with Larry facing trial for giving Auntie Rae a water bottle in a voting line. This hints at a possible reunion of Larry's old rivals for his trial, similar to Seinfeld's finale in 1998 where the main characters went to prison. The show is now teasing the return of Jerry Seinfeld as a potential witness in season 12.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating Jerry Seinfeld's return to Curb Your Enthusiasm since his last appearance in 2009. While there has been no official confirmation yet, the abundance of Seinfeld references in season 12 suggests that his comeback is likely. Bringing back the rest of the Seinfeld cast, including Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards, would fulfill fans' hopes even more, considering their collaboration on the iconic sitcom.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Could Be The Last Opportunity For A Scripted Seinfeld Reunion

All nine seasons of Seinfeld can be streamed on Netflix. Catch new episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 airing Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

After years apart, the original Seinfeld cast reunited in Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7. It was a special moment for David, Seinfeld, Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander, and Richards. This remains the last time they worked together in a scripted show, but there's hope for a reunion in Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12. If Seinfeld's main actors make a cameo as witnesses in Larry's trial, it would be a fun way to reference Seinfeld's finale and give fans a final scripted reunion.

While a Friends-style unscripted reunion is possible, Curb Your Enthusiasm offers a unique opportunity for the Seinfeld cast to reunite in a fictional comedy setting. With none of the Seinfeld actors in leading roles on TV, Curb is the best chance for them to come together on screen. However, as Curb Your Enthusiasm nears its end, time is running out to make a Seinfeld cast reunion happen in the show.

Editor's P/S:

The article hints at the possibility of a long-awaited Seinfeld reunion within the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. As a fan of both shows, the prospect of witnessing the iconic cast back together on screen is thrilling. The subtle references and callbacks to Seinfeld throughout the season have fueled speculation, and the mention of Jerry Seinfeld as a potential witness in Larry's trial further ignites the anticipation.

However, the article also highlights the bittersweet reality that time is running out for a scripted Seinfeld reunion. With the cast members no longer actively involved in leading roles on TV, Curb Your Enthusiasm presents a unique and perhaps final opportunity for them to come together in a fictional setting. The article's suggestion that this reunion could serve as a nod to Seinfeld's finale adds an intriguing layer to the potential plot, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the resolution of this ongoing tease.
