Has Jerry and the cast definately decided to come back for another season? I remember last year, at this time, they were still undecided.

Yes, they're coming back for one more season. This will be their 9th and most definitely their last.

      LOS ANGELES (AP) - All Jerry Seinfeld's quirky friends will
return to the top-rated NBC comedy ``Seinfeld'' for next season,
the network announced Saturday.
      Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Elaine, Michael Richards, who
plays Kramer, and Jason Alexander, who plays George, will return
for a ninth season.
      The three Seinfeld pals each demanded $1 million per episode
from NBC to film 22 half-hour installments of the show, ranked
behind only ``ER'' as the most-watched series this year.
      The network did not give details of their contracts. An industry
source who declined to be identified said the trio didn't get the
$1 million per episode price tag, but offered no further details.
      Each of the three supporting stars agreed to remain with the
show for two more seasons. But Seinfeld only agreed to appear next
season. He will wait until January to decide whether to return for
a 10th season, the network said.
      ``We're extremely pleased that `Seinfeld,' the `show about
nothing' that means everything to viewers nationwide, will be with
NBC for another year,'' Warren Littlefield, president of NBC
Entertainment said in a statement.
      With NBC set to announce its fall TV lineup Monday, a contract
fight with the show's three supporting cast members had the network
wondering whether ``Seinfeld'' would be back.
      The show has won nine Emmy awards.
      The negotiations were being watched not only by anxious fans but
an industry worried about the precedent a huge contact would set.
      Seinfeld has a separate and more lucrative deal to return but is
anxious to see his friends in the fold. The three supporting actors
were united in an all-for-one, one-for-all negotiation.
      If they didn't get the money, the three stars have also talked
about getting a piece of the show's ownership from Castle Rock
Entertainment, the show's production company. This would enable
them to get some of the lucrative syndication fees the show
commands.
      Alexander, who plays George Costanza, told the Washington Post
on Thursday he believed NBC didn't think the actors were serious.
      ```Seinfeld' changed our lives, changed our careers,'' he said.
``If it's over tomorrow, fine. But our efforts have made some
people very, very, very wealthy. And we're not in that league. We
don't need to have parity, but we need participation.''
      Richards, in an interview with the online magazine Mr. Showbiz,
voiced similar frustrations.
      ``I'm not on the syndication side,'' he said. ``I don't have
anything, and while I've invested eight years of my time, everyone
has gotten enormously wealthy.''
