Overview

• Netflix secures exclusive global streaming rights for Seasons 56–58 of 'Sesame Street,' while PBS will air episodes on the same day in the U.S.
• Season 56 will feature a reimagined format with 11-minute story-driven episodes, the return of beloved segments like 'Elmo’s World,' and new animated content such as 'Tales From 123.'
• The deal also includes 90 hours of past episodes and grants Netflix the rights to develop video games for 'Sesame Street' and its spin-off 'Mecha Builders.'
• The agreement provides financial stability for Sesame Workshop, which faced a budget crunch and layoffs earlier this year after HBO/Max ended its decade-long partnership.
• The partnership combines Netflix’s global reach with PBS’s free public access, supporting Sesame Workshop’s mission to deliver educational content to children worldwide.
