Did you think for a moment that the Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm wouldn’t have that creative Larry David angle? David explained the Seinfeld reunion, which he was always against… but in the fictional world of Curb Your Enthusiasm… it just works.

Larry David spoke to reporters about the upcoming Seinfeld reunion on the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which kicks off September 20.

The TV version of Larry David will agree to the reunion, and it will go down within the context of Curb, with Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards all playing themselves.

Larry David explains the show-within-the-show concept for a Seinfeld reunion, telling reporters at the Television Critics Association, “For years, I’ve been asked about a ‘Seinfeld’ reunion,” which he refused, but, “Then I thought it might be very funny to do that on ‘Curb.’ And I kept thinking about it.”

Jerry Seinfeld will appear in five episodes throughout Curb’s season, and the rest of the Seinfeld cast is likely to be in four or five episodes, though not always together.

David explained, “We’ll see writing, see aspects of the read-through, parts of rehearsal, see the show being filmed, and see it on TV. You won’t see the entire show. You’ll see parts of the show. You’ll get an idea of what happened (to the ‘Seinfeld’ characters) 11 years later. Within the show, it will be incorporated into regular ‘Curb’ episodes.”
