Every episode of Seinfeld is coming to Netflix
Netflix has come up with a great answer to the question: “What will the streaming giant do to replace Friends?”
The company announced Monday that it’s acquired the rights to every episode of another 1990s NBC icon: Seinfeld.
The network says all 180 episodes of the Emmy-winning series are part of the deal and the series will be rolled out worldwide.
There’s just one catch: Seinfeld won’t hit the service until 2021. Until then: No Seinfeld for you! (At least, on Netflix).
The deal follows the news that Friends is leaving Netflix in 2020 for an upcoming streaming service launched by WarnerMedia. Friends gained a newfound following among millennials thanks to its run on Netflix, and the company paid a reported $100 million just to keep Friends around through 2019.
Seinfeld debuted in 1989 and ran for nine seasons, and some consider the show to be the greatest sitcom of all time.

I'm really shocked that this happened...
To me.. .Seinfield is still hands down the best Comedy. Nothing is close... It still holds up today. The series finale is still bullshit though.

Once the deals with Hulu (Disney) and Amazon (UK/International) run out Sony has distribution rights and no true streaming service so it makes sense....
All of Sony streaming services are failing... Crackle and PS Vue...
Sony might as well partner with Netflix and produce original content and make their media library available on Netflix...
Basically take Disney's old spot...

This makes no sense. you can literally go to any free streaming site and watch the whole series.
I’ve been doing it for the past 4 years, especially after they removed it from Crackle. Crackle should’ve kept it. They actually curated the episodes based upon the month or holidays during that month.

My top 3 shows South Park, Martin, and Seinfeld. Other than that all I watch are movies or reruns of Narcos and Mindhunter
For Sony it makes perfect sense...
Netflix paid 100 mil just to keep Friends for one year and was willing to pay 150 for Disney to stay...
No telling was Netflix is willing to paid for the rights...
And it'll be in 4K...
4K is a joke. It’s about photosite density not a shitload of pixels.
I didn’t know you were white Fonz. Cause i could never get into the humor of the show. Hope they don’t take down anything i like for this shiggetty
Big bu$ine$$ among$t the $treaming $ervice$.
I love that darn show, can watch an episode anytime anywhere

All in the family
Honeymooners
Mary tyler moore
Seinfeld
Cosby
Cheers
Frasier
I love lucy
Newhart
Just consistent smart timeless funny...
I'm one of the few who thought yeah it was overblown
But to me thise finals moments in the cell?
Was pure seinfeld
Sidebar...
Always sunny in Philadelphia may sneak up on that all time list
never seen a whole episode of this show.....only clips on the internet.
Dont want to see it either after Kramer's meltdown.
Not rocking with ANY show that employs people like this ^^^....and sweeps that shit under a rug.
I know that pinks are racist as fuck in private....but when it's out in the open......nawwwww
When I think of Seinfeld...I think of that meltdown....that's just me though
*****Edit****
For Dave chappelle haters...if you want to see the difference between being funny and being offensive as fuck.....this Kramer clip is exhibit A.

nope its a great show
i just download the whole series to watch them from the start
The Rich get RICHER
It's weird how everyone is chasing after the white Thursday night line-up, but none of the streaming services are rushing in to lock down the rights to the equally successful BLACK Thursday night lineup that Fox had going on with Martin, Living Single, and NY Undercover. Malik Yoba's current bullshit aside, I would love to watch the first few seasons of NY Undercover again. Ice T's run as Danny Court, all the great cameos at Natalie's, 90s fashions -- make for a great trip down memory lane. I think BET has the Martin reruns and TVOne may have Living Single but no one has aired NY Undercover in years.
I wish Martin was available for streaming. But "equally successful" is more fictional than any of the shows you named. John Starks was my favorite shooting guard of the 90s but I don't have to claim he was equally successful as Jordan to validate him.
Actually it's true, at the time the Fox Thursday lineup was #1 in Black households while the NBC lineup was #1 with everyone else. Fox wanted a slice of that mainstream pie and they started changing (whitewashing) their programming to get it. It's the same model that UPN/WB/CW would later use, build up the network with programming intended for Black audiences then abandon them to go mainstream.
More money for the already filthy rich cast of this honkified (and racist) ass show.
This shit is already on hulu getting in the way.
How was the show racist? I agree that the lack of diversity was shameful but I wouldn't call it racist... Off the top of my head, out of 180 episodes only the Puerto Rican Day parade episode was questionable.
I wondered how that works-- will it just be on both or are the rights exclusive? Obviously the show is worth less to Hulu now.
I believe Parks & Rec is on both so it is not unprecedented. (I couldn't make it through two seasons of that bullshit.)
Bruv ur not. Shit is timeless.
So many classic episodes
The ugly baby
The pool shrinkage episode
Constant jab at Steinbrenner
Parking wars
Vanderlay industries
Festivus
I can keep going. Them fools had true nyc shenanigans

Sony and Seinfeld’s longtime manager made sure that all of “Seinfeld’s” streaming and TV syndication contracts would expire in 2021, setting up an open market
How’s this for a show about nothing? With their mega-“Seinfeld”-to-Netflix deal, which insiders have valued at $500 million-plus, co-creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld continue to make huge money on a show that last aired a new episode during the Clinton administration.
Both David and Seinfeld stand to make nine figures each, two people with knowledge of the breakdown told TheWrap. One pegged the windfall between $100-$125 million apiece, while a second told TheWrap it was significantly higher.
Representatives for David, Seinfeld, “Seinfeld” studio Castle Rock Entertainment and its parent company Warner Bros., distributor Sony and buyer Netflix all declined to comment on this story.
Of course, David, who famously played New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner on the series, and Seinfeld, who played a version of himself, are not the only ones making big bucks.
Warner Bros. TV is taking home a big piece of the pie, due to its ownership of “Seinfeld” producer Castle Rock Entertainment, whose partners include Martin Shafer, Rob Reiner, Andrew Scheinman, Glenn Padnick and Alan Horn. Those parties are profit participants too.
One of our sources told us that Warner Bros. stands to make about $100 million on the Netflix deal.
