The comedian will also produce Unfrosted, a film he co-wrote with Spike Feresten and Barry Marder that was inspired by a joke he later deconstructed in a piece for The New York Times.
“At home I was watching endless sad faces on TV and I thought this would be a good time to make something based on pure foolishness,” he said Deadline.
“So we took my Pop-Tart stand-up bit from my last Netflix special and turned it into a giant, crazy comedy.”
Seinfeld is no stranger to the streaming giant as he signed a lucrative deal with Netflix in 2017 for his series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
His Jerry Before Seinfeld show and 23 Hours to Kill have also been released on Netflix.
Jerry recently signed a global deal to stream his most famous work to date, his self-titled 30-minute sitcom Seinfeld, for five years, starting later this year.
“At home I was watching endless sad faces on TV and I thought this would be a good time to make something based on pure silliness,” he told Deadline

In the NYT video, Jerry briefly discussed his writing style and gave a glimpse into the process of crafting the perfect joke.
“With comedy, you think of something that you think is funny, and then you go from there,” he said.
“When I was a kid and they invented the Pop-Tart, the back of my head blew off and that started the whole thing. That particular part of my head blew off, not just my head but just the back of it.”
He continued: “It was the ’60s and we had toast, we had orange juice that had been frozen years in advance and that you had to chop away with a knife to get a few drops and it felt like you were committing murder before.” you got on your school bus.”

He went on to talk about his least favorite breakfast foods and where the idea for the questionable pastry came from.
“How did they know there would be a need for a frozen, fruit-filled, heatable rectangle in the same shape as the box it comes in, and with the same nutrition as the box it comes in?” Seinfeld said at the time.
“In the midst of that darkness and hopelessness comes the Kellog’s Pop-Tart,” he said, explaining how to present the joke for the best laugh.
“They can’t get old because they’ve never been fresh,” he added. ‘In my world, the more wrong something feels, the better it is. So to waste that much time on something so stupid, it felt good to me.”
