NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer have a move-in date for their new home.
All 180 episodes of “Seinfeld” are coming to Netflix on Oct. 1, the streaming service announced Wednesday.
The iconic show found its home on Hulu for the past few years, but Netflix acquired the show’s rights in a five-year, $500 million deal with Sony in 2019, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Larry [David] and I are enormously grateful to Netflix for taking this chance on us. It takes a lot of guts to trust two schmucks who literally had zero experience in television when we made this thing,” Seinfeld joked.
In a trailer for the show’s arrival, Netflix called “Seinfeld” “2021’s hottest new show … Well not actually new. But never seen before … on Netflix.”
“This is the first time we’ve taken a risk of this nature, going all-in on nine seasons at the jump,” Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said. “But Jerry has created something special with this sitcom that nobody has ever done. I truly think he and Mr. David have enormous futures ahead of them.”
“Seinfeld” ran from 1989 through 1998, with over 76 million Americans tuning into the finale.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seinfeld’s on-air rights are also moving to ViacomCBS, and episodes will run on Comedy Central, TV Land and Paramount Network.
