Hulu Shows Off Jerry Seinfeld, Deal with AMC Networks

Los Angeles Times: Jerry Seinfeld took the stage at Hulu’s annual presentation before potential advertisers to promote the company’s deal to stream all 180 episodes of the 1990s sitcom juggernaut. Snagging the deal is a major coup for Hulu, and came with a hefty price tag estimated at $700,000 to $1 million an episode. Another big deal is the pact with AMC Networks that will make Hulu the exclusive streaming home for all future shows AMC will produce for its networks, including “Walking Dead” spinoff “Fear the Walking Dead.” CEO Mike Hopkins said: “If you take away one thing, it’s that 2015 is the year Hulu will break out.”
