Just in time for Festivus, sort of.
‘Seinfeld’ Is Coming to Netflix in October
Seinfeld is coming to Netflix.
It’s finally time for Rachel Green of Friends to take a break, because Elaine Benes and her button-down dresses, chunky blazers, and iconic dancing are about to take over streaming.
That’s right: Netflix just announced that all 180 episodes of Seinfeld–which aired for nine seasons on NBC from 1989 to 1998–will be available on the streaming service globally on October 1. That’s just in time for Festivus, which seems to come quicker and quicker every year.
The series, created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, became known as the show where nothing ever happens. And yet I will binge-watch it as quickly as I did Stranger Things, a Netflix show where a lot of things happen all the time. By exploring the minutiae of the life of stand-up comic Jerry and his friends, Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), noted Glamour reader George Costanza (Jason Alexander), and Kramer (Michael Richards) in New York City, the show broke ground for sitcoms. It’s regarded as one of the most influential television shows ever made. Throughout its nine-season run, Seinfeld won 10 Emmys and 68 nominations.
“Larry and I are enormously grateful to Netflix for taking this chance on us. It takes a lot of guts to trust two schmucks who literally had zero experience in television when we made this thing,” said Jerry Seinfeld in September. “We really got carried away, I guess. I didn’t realize we made so many of them. Hope to recoup God knows how many millions it must have taken to do. But worth all the work if people like it. Crazy project.”
Watch a teaser for the Netflix drop, below. I’m so excited!
