Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, comedy specials headed to Netflix
10th season to debut on Netflix later this year
Jerry Seinfeld and Netflix have announced a deal that will bring the star's web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to the streaming service later this year.
Netflix says new episodes of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee will premiere in late 2017 and previous episodes will also be made available.
The show, which debuted its ninth season earlier this month, has streamed on digital network Crackle since its debut in 2012.
Emmy-nominated and a two-time winner of the Producers Guild of America Award for best digital series, the unscripted series revolves around Seinfeld driving in a vintage car, chatting with a guest comedian (or two), before heading to a cafe or restaurant for coffee and more snappy conversation.
Seinfeld's highest profile guest was U.S. President Barack Obama. Otherwise, his companions have been a who's who of American comedy, including Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Aziz Ansari, Amy Schumer, Garry Shandling, Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah, Margaret Cho, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and Will Ferrell. He's also had his former Seinfeld collaborators Michael Richards, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Larry David on.
Seinfeld, who regularly tours the stand-up circuit, is also set to film two new comedy specials for Netflix, to be released later this year, and will "help develop scripted and non-scripted comedy programming," according to the streaming service.
Terms of the deal haven't been announced.
