Julia Louis-Dreyfus Says She Hasn’t Heard About Jerry Seinfeld’s Plan For A ‘Seinfeld’ Reunion

At a stand-up performance in Boston earlier this month, when asked whether he liked his show’s finale, Jerry Seinfeld said, “Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending [of the show]… but I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret.”

He continued, “Here’s what I’ll tell you. Ok? But you can’t tell anybody… Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending.”

He added, “[it] hasn’t happened yet,” but “just what you are thinking about, [co-creator] Larry [David] and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see.”

A video clip of the exchange was later posted to Instagram.

Seinfeld’s co-star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, told The Guardian on Friday, “I just saw [that news] last night… and I don’t know what he’s talking about.”

The nine-season show debuted in 1989. Seinfeld starred as a fictionalized version of himself, alongside Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.

Seinfeld is famously known as “The Show About Nothing,” driven by cheeky, lovable characters, astute observations and a variety of shenanigans.

It ranked as the number one program on television in its sixth and ninth seasons. Louis-Dreyfus won the first of her 11 Emmy Awards for her performance, and Richards took home three Emmys. 

Despite the show’s popularity, Seinfeld’s finale in 1998 ranked as one of the lowest-rated episodes on IMDb.

Unsurprisingly, news of a potential return to the characters has fans excited. While reboots are inherently risky, especially for shows held in such high regard, many are optimistic that Seinfeld can use this opportunity to fix its original finale.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Louis-Dreyfus reminisced about the last day on set. “Talk about nostalgia. You know, I think we were all caught by surprise by how emotional we felt,“ she said. “We all got together and we all just started to cry… And I remember Jerry saying something like, ‘We’ll always have this, and we’ll always be tied to one another, because of this experience.’”
