Writer-actor Jerry Seinfeld has joined hands with Netflix for a multi-faceted production deal, starting this year.
The 62-year-old star will film two all-new stand-up shows exclusively for the members of the giant-streaming service.
In addition, Seinfeld's series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" will also be relocated to Netflix.
"Jerry is known the world over as both a great TV innovator and beloved comic voice. We are incredibly proud to welcome him to the Netflix comedy family," said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix.
While Seinfeld said, "When I first started thinking about Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the entire Netflix business model consisted of mailing out DVDs in envelopes. I love that we are now joining together, both at very different points.
"I am also very excited to be working with Ted Sarandos at Netflix, a guy and a place that not only have the same enthusiasm for the art of stand-up comedy as I do, but the most amazing technology platform to deliver it in a way that has never existed before.
