After the cancellation of its deal with HBO, popular children’s show “Sesame Street” has struck a new agreement with Netflix. The deal, which was announced on Wednesday, will bring a selection of episodes from the long-running series to the streaming platform. The move comes after HBO decided not to renew its deal with “Sesame Street,” which had been broadcasting new episodes on the premium cable network since 2015. The decision was met with disappointment from fans, who were concerned about the future of the beloved show. With the new deal with Netflix, “Sesame Street” will continue to bring educational content and positive messages to children and families around the world. The show’s producers expressed their excitement about the partnership, stating that they are thrilled to be able to reach a broader audience through the streaming platform. The episodes will be available to stream on Netflix starting in the fall, giving subscribers access to the timeless lessons and lovable characters that have made “Sesame Street” a staple of children’s television for generations.

“Sesame Street” found a new home on Netflix after a surprising cancellation by HBO. The beloved children’s series will have new episodes from its 56th season available on the streaming platform later this year. This new partnership with Sesame Workshop, the production company behind the show, ensures that “Sesame Street” will continue to be offered for free on PBS, where it first premiered in 1969.

The upcoming season of “Sesame Street” will introduce some changes, including a focus on one 11-minute story per episode and a new animated segment called “Tales From 123.” The new season will be released in three batches. Additionally, with Halcyon Person as the new head writer, episodes will premiere on both PBS and the PBS Kids app simultaneously.

Fans can expect to see familiar segments like Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck return, along with new interactive experiences like Cookie Monster’s Cookie Cart and Abby’s Fairy Garden. Netflix will also offer 90 hours of previous “Sesame Street” episodes for viewers to enjoy, and there are plans to develop video games based on the show’s beloved characters.

While an exact premiere date for the new season has not been announced yet, the upcoming episodes are sure to bring joy and education to children and families around the world. The deal with Netflix comes after HBO’s parent company confirmed that they did not renew the previous agreement to air “Sesame Street” on their platform.
