Wednesday was a historic day for Hulu.
During an event at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, it announced a deal to bring every episode of "Seinfeld," the most sought after television sitcom among streaming services, to its subscribers, and also made a deal with AMC to exclusively stream every future show the network airs, Deadline reported.
The flagship program for both Hulu and AMC on that front moving forward is going to be "Fear the Walking Dead," the highly anticipated (and poorly named) spinoff of "The Walking Dead." Hulu struck a similar deal with FX.
"FX and AMC are the most important contributors to the new golden age of television," Hulu programming chief Craig Erwich said. "Our competitors have some of their libraries, but we will have all of their future."
Few details are known about "Fear The Walking Dead" yet. Notably, the show will not delve into the how the zombie virus actually started. It will premiere at some point this summer and take place in Los Angeles.
It's important to note that "The Walking Dead" is currently available on Netflix, Hulu's biggest streaming service competitor. With Hulu getting the upcoming spinoff, AMC is sharing the wealth it has gained from having the rights to the biggest show on television, which is a smart financial move.
Similarly, the complete series of "Breaking Bad" is on Netflix. It's spinoff, "Better Call Saul," does not have a streaming home yet. According to the announced agreement, it seems that the spinoff will be on Hulu, but it was not mentioned at the event. Then again, the first season of "Better Call Saul" only ended a few weeks ago.
