Comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld is hinting at a possible revival of his iconic sitcom ‘Seinfeld’, which concluded its run 25 years ago. The 69-year-old comedian, during his recent show at The Wang Theatre in Boston, teased the audience with the prospect of something significant related to the ending of the beloved series.
Seinfeld, while keeping details under wraps, intriguingly suggested that he and Larry David, the show’s co-creator, have been considering a development connected to the series finale. “Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet,” he told his fans. This revelation has sparked speculation about what form this ‘something’ might take.
The sitcom’s lasting appeal and enduring popularity were confirmed when Netflix purchased its rights for more than $500 million in 2019. However, the show’s finale, originally aired in May 1998 and watched by 76.3 million viewers, still remains a topic of debate among fans and critics alike for its departure from the sitcom’s typical format.
The final episode saw the leading quartet – Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer – sharing a prison cell in an unexpected twist. Seinfeld himself has expressed reservations about this unconventional conclusion in past interviews.
In a 2017 discussion with The New Yorker, Seinfeld confessed: “I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it. There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy.”
Meanwhile, Larry David has consistently defended the series’ finale despite facing criticism over it. Speaking to Grantland in 2014, David admitted: “I got so much grief from the Seinfeld finale.”
As we await further news about this hinted development, fans worldwide are undoubtedly eager to see what Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David have in store for their much-loved characters.
