Entertainment Weekly, which has 12 covers devoted to the departing HBO comedy, spent the final days of the HBO series as it wrapped production after seven seasons. “I was never going to walk away from this, under any circumstances,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus says of filming Season 7 following her breast cancer battle. “It never occurred to me not to do the show. For a couple of days — not knowing this road I was about to walk down, not fully understanding, and possibly in a sort of state of denial too — I was thinking, ‘Well, we’ll shoot around chemo. We’ll figure it out.’ I had that idea, which is, of course, absurd. But I didn’t think of it as such until reality came crashing in.”
