In addition to its partnership with Netflix, Sesame Street will continue to air new episodes on PBS stations and PBS Kids platforms in the US. This collaboration ensures that the show’s legacy of educating and entertaining children will be preserved. Executive Vice President Kay Wilson Stallings shared that Sesame Street will be reimagined on Netflix with longer segments, more sophisticated stories, and the introduction of a new animated series, Tales From 123.

Furthermore, Netflix will be developing video games for Sesame Street, including the exciting Sesame Street Mecha Builders. With these new developments, viewers can look forward to an enhanced viewing experience while still being able to catch daily episodes of Sesame Street on PBS stations and PBS Kids digital platforms. The future looks bright for this iconic series as it continues to inspire children to grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.
