Hulu, Amazon and Yahoo are said to be among the bidders for the sitcom, while Netflix has apparently passed after taking a “hard look at the series last year”.

‘Seinfeld’ ran for 180 episodes and 9 seasons before bowing out in 1998 and moving into the world of syndication. The series’ syndication success was so that, according to Variety, TV stations wound up paying more to renew the rerun rights than they did in the first round of dealmaking.

In 2010, Warner Brothers said the series had generated nearly three billion in syndication revenue, some of which goes to creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David who are also profit participants in the show.
