In the video shared online, Seinfeld could be seen acting as an employee of Kellogg's and trying to get a one-up on their rival breakfast brand. The flick’s storyline will follow the ideation and creation of the iconic Pop-Tart that has taken over the world as a fan favorite and easy breakfast. With a cast of Bill Burr, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer and more participating in the movie, it is sure to leave fans in hysterics. The post also revealed that the movie would be added to the streamer’s library on May 3rd for the whole world to see.
While fans might finally be getting the behind-the-scenes of the Pop-Tart story, it ended up taking Seinfeld 14 years to finally make his directorial debut.
