🎉 Big Announcement: Sesame Street Is Moving to Netflix — But It’s Still Coming to PBS! 🎉

The iconic children’s series Sesame Street is embracing a bold new chapter — and fans everywhere have reason to celebrate. As of 2025, the beloved show will continue its legacy through a groundbreaking global partnership between Netflix, PBS, and Sesame Workshop, ensuring that the mission to help kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder remains stronger than ever.

What’s Changing — And What’s Not

• ✅ New Episodes on Netflix: All new episodes of Sesame Street, including the upcoming 56th season, will debut exclusively on Netflix worldwide — making the full library of classic and modern episodes accessible to families across the globe.
• ✅ Same-Day Broadcast on PBS: The U.S. premiere will still happen on PBS stations and the PBS Kids platform, preserving a 50+ year tradition of public broadcasting excellence.
• ✅ No New Content on HBO/Max: After a successful five-year run (2015–2024), HBO and Max have chosen not to renew their licensing deal. However, all existing Sesame Street episodes will remain available on HBO and Max through 2027, with no new productions.

A Fresh Format, Familiar Favorites

The 56th season introduces a new, character-driven structure, spotlighting an 11-minute core story per episode — a format inspired by the success of shows like Bluey. The changes are designed to deepen engagement while keeping the magic alive.

You’ll still see:

• 🧸 Elmo’s World (reimagined for today’s audience)
• 🍪 Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck
• And many more classic segments that have shaped childhoods for over 50 years.

Games, Play, and Innovation

In a fun twist, Netflix is expanding into family gaming — and Sesame Street is leading the way. Fans can expect:

• 🎮 New video games based on Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecha Builders
• ✅ Play directly through the Netflix app using your smartphone as a controller — perfect for interactive learning and play.

“This unique public-private partnership with Netflix, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting ensures Sesame Street can keep fulfilling its mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder,” said Sesame Workshop.

💬 Sesame Street on Twitter (May 19, 2025):

“We are excited to announce that all new Sesame Street episodes are coming to @netflix worldwide along with library episodes, and new episodes will also release the same day on @PBS Stations and @PBSKIDS platforms in the US, preserving a 50+ year relationship. The support of… #SesameStreetIsBack”

Why It Matters

Sesame Street debuted in November 1969 and has since become a cultural touchstone, teaching generations about empathy, diversity, and early literacy. The shift reflects a strategic move to balance global reach (Netflix) with trusted public service (PBS) — proving that even in a streaming world, community and connection still matter most.

The journey continues — and it’s better than ever.
