Every Season of 'Seinfeld' Is Coming to Hulu
by Andy Neuenschwander
Attention all quiet-talkers, marine biologists and puffy-shirt afficionados: "Seinfeld" is coming to Hulu.
The ad-based streaming service has won the exclusive rights to the show after a bidding war broke out between Hulu, Amazon, Yahoo and other providers hoping to be the streaming service that could be known as the home of the Show About Nothing.
Hulu reportedly shelled out approximately $700,000 per episode of the classic NBC series. When you consider that the service will stream all nine seasons of the show, it doesn't take a math genius to know that the exclusive rights had a large price tag.
Jerry Seinfeld himself weighed in on the show's new home during Hulu's NewFront presentation this week. "We loved doing it so much," he said. "We thought the show was so funny. We were really doing it for ourselves for a long, long time. to be here and have everyone else catching on to it, this is a pretty mind-blowing moment."
No official release date has been set, but you can bet that with an acquisition of this size, Hulu will be rushing to get "Seinfeld" on their servers faster than you can say "Newman."
