Jerry Seinfeld has repeatedly balked at doing a reunion for the highly-popular, long-running sitcom that helped make NBC a success again…but it seems the comedian will stand in the way of Fate no longer. Seinfeld co-creator Larry David has managed to get the cast to agree to appear on his series Curb Your Enthusiasm.

It’s like 1996 all over again.

Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will play themselves playing their characters on the HBO series. They’ve agreed to a five-episode deal that should give fans a good taste of a more amped up, raunchier Seinfeld.

“The idea of working with Larry was just too overwhelmingly appealing to me,” Seinfeld explained his abrupt about-face on the reunion front. “It’s the anti-reunion reunion, and I’d like to copyright that.”
