David co-created the smash hit NBC sitcom with Jerry Seinfeld and served as a writer before leaving after season 7, though he returned to write the divisive series finale. In 2000, David created and began writing and starring in his own acclaimed sitcom loosely based on his own life, Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is now set to air its final season starting February 4 on HBO.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 premiere, David was asked if there is any truth to the rumors of a Seinfeld reunion in the final season of the HBO sitcom. David was decisively dismissive, stating “No, no, no. No.” As for what to expect from the final season, he said “I think it will provide some laughs.”

Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 will be the show’s final season, giving Larry David the chance to repeat the Seinfeld finale’s best trick.
Curb Your Enthusiasm Already Did A Seinfeld Reunion
The rumors regarding a Seinfeld reunion in Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 were started by Jerry Seinfeld himself who, during a stand-up set in October 2023, made some cryptic comments about him and Larry David making a secret project, possibly a Seinfeld revival. It was speculated that this could be connected to Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, though David has now shot down the idea of a reunion in the final season. Regardless of what the secret project is, Curb Your Enthusiasm already did a Seinfeld reunion in 2009.
Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 acted as an extended Seinfeld reunion with the return of Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards as themselves. The season-long arc sees Larry, after years of resistance, finally agree to do a Seinfeld reunion special, though it’s really just a ploy to give Cheryl a major role and attempt to win her back. The arc largely reinforces the idea that reunions for iconic sitcoms are generally a bad idea. Since there won’t be another Seinfeld reunion in Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, audiences can revisit season 7’s arc.
Curb Your Enthusiasm seasons 1-11 are streaming on Max, while Seinfeld is streaming on Netflix.
