‘Seinfeld’ Hulu Deal: $700,000 Per Episode, Streaming Service to Rerun Famed NBC Comedy

A while back, MStars News reported that there were some struggles in the whole Seinfeld-Netflix deal. But finally, it seems they've reached an agreement... with Hulu. Yes, word has it that Seinfeld is going to Hulu for roughly $700,000 an episode. You read that correctly –– $700k per episode. So, it would seem certain to say that creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are about to get much, much wealthier. Which is good because we hear they are struggling (cue the eye roll). Anyway, many people speculated that the famed NBC comedy would be going to Netflix, largely because that streaming service purchased Friends for $500k. And while things were going somewhat smoothly, things took a turn when Netflix offered money for a five-year contract.

And, well, if you're a Seinfeld fan then you know we're all going to want to watch the show for much longer than five years. So it was squashed...

According to new reports from the Wall Street Journal, Hulu's Seinfeld agreement will be unveiled to advertisers in New York City via a presentation. It's being called "one of the biggest programming acquisitions in the online video site's history," per the report. Part of the reason for this is due to the fact that Seinfeld remains one of the most successful television shows ever created. In fact, many would argue that since leaving the air back in 1998, the series has become even more popular.

As Hulu readies itself for the reruns of the comedy, TBS will continue to air them as well.

But let's be honest, as great as TBS is, now we'll be able to stream whatever Seinfeld episode we want. Which is, well, wonderful.
