Sesame Street Streaming Era on Max Concludes as Network Ends Deal for New Episodes
Warner Bros. made a surprising decision to end new episodes of “Sesame Street” on their Max streaming platform. The upcoming 55th season will mark the end of its run on the network. However, fans can still enjoy the show’s catalog on Max through 2027. A Max spokesperson expressed gratitude for the creative experience of working on the iconic children’s series.
For over 50 years, “Sesame Street” has been a beloved household classic. Initially launching on PBS in 1970, the show later moved to HBO in 2016, and eventually found its streaming home on HBO Max in 2019. This move was crucial for the show’s survival, especially as DVD viewership declined significantly.
While new episodes of “Sesame Street” won’t be available on Max after season 55, the extensive library of the show ensures that timeless lessons, iconic characters, and treasured memories can still be accessed for the next few years. Fans can cherish the beloved show and all it has to offer.
