SESAME STREET Loses HBO Address for New Content

SESAME STREET, the beloved children’s program, will no longer have new episodes available on HBO/Max after its 55th season. Although this change may come as a surprise to fans, older content will still be accessible on Max until 2027. The decision was made as part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s shifting focus away from children’s programming in the years ahead.

While the latest season of SESAME STREET is set to premiere in January on HBO/Max, it will mark the end of new episodes being available on the platform. Warner Bros. Discovery has not officially announced this shift, but recent restructuring within the company, including the removal of shows from Max, suggests a change in strategy. SESAME STREET may potentially find a new home at Disney or other outlets in the future.

A quote from Max to THR expressed appreciation for the collaboration with Sesame Street and highlighted that, based on consumer feedback, the platform is prioritizing stories for adults and families. Sesame Workshop, the organization behind SESAME STREET, confirmed that their library will remain on Max through 2027 and hinted at new distribution plans to come.

In light of these changes, by 2027, HBO Kids programming, including SESAME STREET, will be phased out completely on Max. Fans can share their thoughts on this decision in the comments below and anticipate future updates on the distribution of Sesame Street.
