Overview

  • Disney+ will become the exclusive streaming home for CoComelon starting January 2027, following its tenure on Netflix since 2020.
  • Netflix opted not to renew CoComelon’s license due to a nearly 60% decline in viewership between 2023 and 2024.
  • Disney+ strengthens its position in kids' programming, adding CoComelon to a lineup that includes Bluey and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
  • Moonbug Entertainment, owned by Candle Media, will continue to post CoComelon content on YouTube, where the channel has 193 million subscribers and over 2 billion monthly views.
  • Netflix has acquired the streaming rights to Sesame Street and will retain CoComelon Lane, a spinoff series, as part of its adjusted strategy for kids' content.
