‘Sesame Street’ Saved, Inks New Streaming Deal With Netflix

Episodes will also continue to air on PBS, debuting the same day as they launch on Netflix.

The streaming giant has inked a deal with Sesame Workshop for new episodes of the long-running children’s show, just months after Warner Bros. “I strongly believe that our educational programming for children is one of the most important aspects of our service to the American people, and Sesame Street has been an integral part of that critical work for more than half a century,” added Paula Kerger, president and CEO of PBS. Season 56 will be reimagined, with the show dropping its magazine style format in favor of a longer segment, joined by a new animated element called Tales From 123.
