Today, Netflix has released an official trailer for the top-rated NBC drama Seinfeld, hitting the streamer with a "180 episode premiere" on October 1. The trailer amusingly states the series as "this fall's hottest new show," though Seinfeld originally aired from July 5, 1989 to May 14, 1998, spanning nine seasons and winning a whopping ten primetime Emmy Awards.

Seinfeld’s move to Netflix has been long-awaited, however, as the streaming platform bought the sitcom's streaming rights for $500 million all the way back in 2019, and after Netflix losing binge-worthy sitcoms The Office and Friends. Seinfeld was also available on Hulu for a time, but is now removed since its contract expired in June, leaving Netflix as its permanent home for the next five years. The classic sitcom will still be aired on Viacom networks such as Comedy Central, Paramount Network, and TV Land.
