Is A Seinfeld Reboot Happening? Jason Alexander's Response Might Disappoint You

In 2021, Jerry Seinfeld claimed he doesn't want a "Seinfeld" reboot, characterizing the prospect of a revival as a desperate measure. "It would seem sad to me. It would seem like we couldn't think of a new idea," he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

While a "Seinfeld" reboot is still just a rumor, the rumor comes straight from Seinfeld's mouth, lending it more credence than typical Hollywood hearsay. Of course, it's entirely possible that the idea of a series revival with a brand new cast could have enticed Seinfeld to work on this project that he previously ridiculed. In fact, Looper writer Melissa Lemieux argued that a "Seinfeld" reboot would only work if it followed the path blazed by "That '90s Show," referring to the latter series primarily focusing on new faces instead of returning "That '70s Show" cast members.

A "Seinfeld" revival without George or Elaine, then, may not be out of the question. Fans may have to accept that even if the show does come back, we might have seen the last of these characters.
