It has been five years since fans can delight themselves with the show about nothing. Many of them can be wondering why Netflix decided that now is the the time to say goodbye to Jerry and his gang. The reason for that is not difficult to figure out.

Back in 2019, Netflix bought the rights to stream Seinfeld. With its contract coming to an end, it’s very likely that the show will find it’s way to another platform.

If Netflix decide not to renew the contract, many admirers of the show will feel the urge to cancel their subscription. But there is nothing to worry about.

Here are the some of the best original Netflix sitcoms that will make it worth your time:

Grace and Frankie:

Starred by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, Grace and Frankie have completely different personalities but this minor fact doesn’t stand in the way of their friendship. After discovering that their husbands have been maintaining a secret affair for years, they feel obliged to reinvent themselves and overcome all the obstacles of this new chapter.
