Jerry Seinfeld jumps to Netflix
The comedian is leaving his long-time TV home at Sony to go to Netflix, in a deal that's been rumored to be massively expensive.
By Matthew Belloni • • 3m ListenJerry Seinfeld's new deal means episodes of his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee will move from Crackle, Sony's streaming service, over to Netflix, which will also be the home for new episodes. He'll also do two stand-up specials for the streaming giant.
