Fans of Seinfeld may soon need to clear about 90 hours off their schedule.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Hulu has reached an agreement with Sony Pictures Television to bring all 180 episodes of the Jerry Seinfeld-led sitcom to the binge-watching era at a cost of between $700,000 and $1 million per episode, reportedly close to double what Netflix paid for rights to Friends.
While reruns of Seinfeld have aired non-stop in syndication since the 1998 series finale, the Hulu deal will mark the hit series' first availability via subscription video on demand (aka SVOD).
The news is expected to be made official at Hulu's upfront presentation on Wednesday.
