Sesame Workshop has revealed a new partnership with Netflix. For the first time, library episodes and new seasons of Sesame Street will be available on the global streaming service.
The collaboration does not impact Sesame Workshop’s longstanding partnership with PBS. Viewers can continue watching Sesame Street on PBS platforms, and new episodes will be released simultaneously on PBS stations, PBS KIDS online platforms, and Netflix. Communities in the U.S. with access to free public television can watch new episodes on the same day and date as families with Netflix accounts.
This public-private partnership follows Sesame Workshop’s previous licensing deal with HBO, which featured a delay between streaming and PBS platform releases.
Kids worldwide can discover the series’ characters, lessons, and new stories from Season 56 later this year. For more information regarding Sesame Workshop, visit sesameworkshop.org.
