Sesame Street has a brand-new streaming home! Netflix announced that they will be streaming the beloved children’s program after the split with Warner Bros. Discovery. Sesame Street on Netflix will enjoy the same quality that’s won over generations. The 56th Season of the show will stream alongside 90 hours of previous episodes.
Interestingly enough, the episodes will be available day-and-date on PBS stations in the United States. (PBS Kids streamers will also get access after the premieres on Netflix.) The streaming giant will also have 11-minute stories in the new episodes. Sesame Street on Netflix will be hitting a little bit of a format refresh with the move. (This was planned from before the acquisition.)
