Netflix adds that all 180 episodes will be available for viewers, which span across nine memorable seasons.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the deal was struck with Sony Pictures, which controls the distribution of Seinfeld. Hulu currently has the streaming rights to the show, and is reportedly paying, "about $130 million in a five-year deal that expires in 2021."
