Sesame Street Teams Up with Netflix for Exciting 56th Season

Big news for Sesame Street fans! The beloved children's show is making its way to Netflix, and its 56th season is set to drop later this year. I mean, how cool is that?

Along with the new season, Netflix will also host a whopping ninety hours of classic episodes. Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind the show, shared this exciting update on Monday. So, if you’ve got little ones, or if you just love nostalgia, you’re in for a treat!

This upcoming season is shaking things up a bit. Instead of the usual short stories, the new episodes will focus on an 11-minute storyline, which should make for some pretty engaging content. Plus, fan-favorites like "Elmo's World" and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck will still be around, so you won’t miss those classic segments.

And here’s the kicker: the new episodes won’t just be on Netflix. They’ll also air on PBS stations and PBS KIDS streaming platforms on the same day. So, whether you’re a Netflix subscriber or prefer traditional TV, you won’t miss out.

Sesame Workshop mentioned that this partnership is a big deal. It allows them to spread their research-based curriculum to kids worldwide, thanks to Netflix's global reach. At the same time, they’re ensuring that kids in the U.S. can still access the show for free on public television. It’s a win-win!

This deal comes right after President Trump signed an executive order aimed at cutting federal funding for PBS and National Public Radio. So, it’s interesting to see how Sesame Street is adapting to these changes.

With all these updates, it looks like Sesame Street is ready to keep entertaining and educating kids for years to come!
