According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC will be launching SeeSo, a new comedy-only streaming service available for $3.99 a month. The website will feature a mix of original content and a back catalog of TV shows, some of which have never been made available for streaming before, like Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Among the shows being created specifically for SeeSo is HarmonQuest, an animated series from Dan Harmon (Community, Rick and Morty) about the world of fantasy roleplaying. Also coming to SeeSo will be Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, a new series from executive producer Scott Aukerman spoofing real estate shows. In addition, the service will feature new series from Big Jay Oakerson, Jonah Ray, Wyatt Cenac, Cameron Esposito, Amy Poehler and others.

Aside from the original content, the service will also include sitcoms like The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation, as well as new episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live the day after they air.

SeeSo will be an ad-free service available online and on Internet-connected streaming devices. This will evidently not effect the availability of NBC's shows on Hulu and Netflix.

The service is expected to launch officially in January, but an invite-only beta will open this December. To get in early, check out the service's official website.
