The streamer announced on Friday that Jerry Seinfeld's new comedy special, "23 Hours to Kill," will debut on the platform on May 5. It's part of a huge deal Seinfeld struck with Netflix in 2017 that's worth an estimated $100 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The deal includes the rights to Seinfeld's series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and two Netflix specials. The first special, "Jerry Before Seinfeld," debuted in 2017.

Seinfeld isn't the only comedian that Netflix has paid huge amounts of money to.

Ellen DeGeneres made $20 million to $25 million from her Netflix comedy special "Relatable," which debuted last December, Variety reported in December.

Seinfeld and DeGeneres follow stand-ups like Amy Schumer, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock in netting multimillion-dollar deals from the streaming service.

It should be noted that Netflix has also drawn criticism for under-paying some comics. Comedian Mo'Nique came into a pay dispute with the company in 2017 when they reportedly offered her $500,000 for a special. She sued Netflix last month alleging race and sex discrimination regarding the special.
