Summary

• A Seinfeld revival was teased by Jerry Seinfeld in October 2023, but other cast know nothing about the plans.
• The original cast could return, though nothing is confirmed yet.
• Story details for a potential reboot remain speculative, but any revival will have to deal with the fallout of Jerry, George, and Kramer's imprisonment in the original series finale.

It was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1990s, and now three decades later, a Seinfeld revival may finally be on the way. Created by Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Jerry Seinfeld (Bee Movie), Seinfeld dominated the TV comedy schedule throughout its 1989-1998 run, with its only serious competitor being Friends from 1994 onwards. Seinfeld starred Jerry Seinfeld as a fictionalized version of himself. It was a character-driven sitcom anchored by the in-universe stand-up sets delivered by Jerry Seinfeld in each episode.

The show was a resounding success, although the finale of Seinfeld was incredibly divisive, and Jerry Seinfeld has often said over the years there’s much about it he would change. While there’s been demand for a Seinfeld reunion, reboot, or revival over the years, it wasn't until 2023 that comments from Seinfeld himself teased it may actually be happening. With almost three decades ing since the Seinfeld end-credits rolled for the final time, there’s plenty to discuss about what the Seinfeld revival could bring.

Jerry Seinfeld Teases A Revival & His Co-Stars Respond

While the Seinfeld revival isn’t officially in the works yet, there has been news pointing to the 1989-1998 sitcom returning to screens soon (via Variety). On October 10, 2023, co-creator and star of the show Jerry Seinfeld was doing a stand-up comedy set in Boston. One of the audience asked for the comedian's thoughts on the ending of Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld’s answer was surprising, and he teased that there may be more Seinfeld to come.“Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. It hasn’t happened yet,” Jerry Seinfeld revealed.

Seinfeld's Jason Alexander was equally baffled when he heard the news, saying "No one called me. Apparently, they don’t need George". However, both responses seem more humorous than reflective of genuine anger.

The Seinfeld Revival Isn’t Confirmed

The Revival Is Only A Rumor

The Seinfeld reboot isn’t confirmed.

However, with nearly a year ing since Seinfeld's 2023 comments, nothing new has surfaced about a potential revival.

Seinfeld Revival Cast

Could The Original Cast Return?

There have been no confirmed cast for the Seinfeld revival thus far. As the star of the show, it’s a safe bet that comedian Jerry Seinfeld would return to lead the cast. Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed she knows nothing about a Seinfeld reunion, but there’s nothing to suggest she’d say no to returning as Elaine. The same sentiment goes for Jason Alexander who would likely return as George.

One question mark that hangs over the cast is the status of Michael Richards, who played Jerry's neighbor Cosmo Kramer in the show's original run. Richards was embroiled in controversy because of a 2006 incident in which he went on a racist tirade while performing at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. In the nearly two decades since the incident, Richards has largely stayed away from public view, and it's unclear if he would be welcomed back in a modern revival of Seinfeld.
