Seinfeld, who worked with the streamer on his 2020 stand-up special, 23 Hours to Kill, will also be starring in the film.

The logline for the project, which is set in Michigan in 1963, reads: “Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar and menacing milkmen.”

Seinfeld will direct from a script he wrote with Spike Feresten, Andy Robin and Barry Marder. Seinfeld, Feresten and Beau Bauman will produce, with Cherylanne Martin, Robin and Marder acting as executive producers.
