Hulu paid $1M per episode to stream 'Seinfeld'

NEW YORK, April 29 (UPI) -- Video digital service, Hulu, signed a $180 million deal with Sony Pictures for all 180 episodes of Seinfeld.

The show, which originally aired from 1989 to 1998 on NBC, has been on syndication on several networks through out the years but can finally call Hulu home.

Variety first reported the news that the show landed the SVOD rights. The profit will be divided between "distributor Sony TV, Time Warner's Castle Rock and Seinfeld profit participants, including star/co-creator Jerry Seinfeld and co-creator Larry David."

Seinfeld told the audience during Wednesday's Hulu upfront presentations that fans will get to see full episodes instead the edited ones aired on television today.

"Now you will see the full thing as Larry and I cut it in the '90s as we thought it was best," he said, according to the Verge.

Hulu also announced during the presentation that it made a deal with AMC to stream every new show the network creates within the next several years. It may not include Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but AMC has a track record for airing hit shows.
