Netflix may be losing two of our fave NBC comedies (so long Rachel Green and Michael Scott), but things seem to be looking up once again for the streaming service.
Netflix just struck a five-year deal with Sony to streamSeinfeld. The platform will offer all 9 seasons (180 episodes) starting in 2021.Los Angeles Timesreported Netflix will have global streaming rights, a deal different from Hulu's domestic-only rights and Amazon's foreign territory rights.
Seinfeldwas one of the most popular shows in the '90s right up until their last episode in '98 (which wasone of the most watchedof all time). The timing comes after Netflix lost streaming rights toFriendsandThe Office,which are both headed to other platforms in 2021.
