A little show called ‘Seinfeld’ will begin streaming soon on Netflix
LA TimesJerry Seinfeld, left, plays a version of himself, Michael Richards is Cosmo Kramer and Jason Alexander is George Costanza in the sitcom “Seinfeld.” “Seinfeld” fans can again watch — or fall asleep to — the show once again when the comedy begins streaming on Netflix next month. The announcement arrived with a tongue-in-cheek trailer and statement, underselling the show’s enormous success by claiming that Netflix had landed all 180 episodes of a situational comedy “called, simply, ‘Seinfeld,’” that was “created by rising New York comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, who wrote for ‘Saturday Night Live’ for a single season.” “This is the first time we’ve taken a risk of this nature, going all in on 9 seasons at the jump,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in the facetious statement. I truly think he and Mr. David have enormous futures ahead of them and I’m thrilled Netflix could be the home for them to grow their fanbases.” All 180 episodes of Seinfeld hit Netflix on October 1 pic.twitter.com/H73RZvNUw9 — Netflix September 1, 2021 “Larry and I are enormously grateful to Netflix for taking this chance on us. Crazy project.” The NBC show completed production in May — of 1998 — and, as they put it, explores “the minutiae of the comic’s everyday life as he navigates his relationships with a talented ensemble cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander.” After losing NBC’s “Friends” in 2019, Netflix fired back amid the battle for popular network sitcoms by landing the global streaming rights to “Seinfeld” as part of a five-year deal with Sony Pictures Television, which controls distribution of the iconic show.
