Seinfeld is moving — not to Del Boca Vista, but to Netflix. All nine seasons and all 180 episodes of “this fall’s hottest new show” will be available for streaming starting October 1 on Netflix, two years after the streamer won the rights for $500 million in 2019. Yada, yada, yada, a trailer for the Emmy-winning series on Netflix (re)introduces four New York friends: the comedian (Jerry Seinfeld as Jerry Seinfeld), the coward (Jason Alexander as George Costanza), the cynic (Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes), and the wild card (Michael Richards as Kramer).
Netflix will launch 180 episodes of a situational comedy called Seinfeld, created by rising New York comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, who wrote for Saturday Night Live for a single season.
The show completed production in May (of 1998) and is slated for release on the Netflix platform in its entirety on October 1, 2021.
Bookended by Seinfeld’s stand-up material, the 180 episodes of the sitcom explore the minutiae of the comic’s everyday life as he navigates his relationships with a talented ensemble cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Troll, Family Ties), Michael Richards (UHF, Fridays) and Jason Alexander (Pretty Woman).
