Right now, Chalamet is working on the Chuck Lorre.

On Tuesday, Twitter Maia Mindel started the rumor that the Young Sheldon. A shockingly significant number of people thought the joke was real — dare I say, bazinga?
“in what world is timothee chalamet the right casting choice for jerry seinfeld?” one Seinfeld fan tweeted, perhaps echoing the sentiments of several Dylan stans who don’t think the omnipresent actor is fit for the role of the folk legend. A more melodramatic fan responded to the fake announcement with, “This is a modern day 9/11.”
It certainly says something about the staying power of Seinfeld fashion that the outfits Fanning and Chalamet wore in the offending set picture reminded so many impressionable Twitter s of the hit sitcom, even outside the intended decades. Chalamet’s jacket may not look like suede, but it’s easy to imagine a twenty-something Jerry spending too much money on it, only to immediately ruin it in the snow. Fanning’s fit looks decidedly Elaine-like as well, even if Fanning herself doesn’t — maybe she could be a Becky Gelke early on in Jerry’s fascination with his neighbor.
Nevertheless, Chalamet will not play a young Jerry any time soon to the relief of many duped Seinfeld superfans. “pls don’t give them any ideas,” one Twitter begged Mindel, while another pondered, “It will be interesting to see who they get to play Shoshanna Lonstein and at what age range (between -2 and 8 years old).”
