While Seinfeld fans might be ecstatic about the possibility of a show reunion, there’s at least one cast member who isn’t so sure about a reboot.
“Yeah, I just saw [that news] last night,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus told The Guardian. “And I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”
Louis-Dreyfus’ blunt response comes after Jerry Seinfeld was asked about the sitcom’s ending during his comedy show in Boston last week.
Seinfeld teased the audience into thinking a reboot was in the works, but a comment from a former castmate suggests it’s either not the case or it’s in the very, very, very early stages.
“Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret. Here’s what I’ll tell you. OK? But you can’t tell anybody,” told the audience.
“Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see.”
The show about nothing, which ran 180 episodes over nine seasons, is often described as having a controversial finale.
Although the television event attracted 79 million viewers, the majority considered it “downright awful,” according to Time.
Despite the supremely bad finale, writer Larry David said he has no regrets, though Curb Your Enthusiasm gave Seinfeld‘s finale another try in 2009.
More than 20 years after the sitcom ended, Seinfeld has insisted a reunion amongst the characters would never take place.
He also preferred not “to inflict himself on viewers in a deteriorated state.”
“We could have done one, two, three more years. The reason people still love that show is we didn’t wear it out,” he told Howard Stern.
