Netflix Secures Sesame Street Streaming Deal

Netflix has secured a new streaming deal for 'Sesame Street' with Sesame Workshop, ensuring that new episodes will run on Netflix, PBS, and the PBS Kids app simultaneously. This partnership allows 'Sesame Street' to expand its global reach while maintaining free access for children in the United States. The move comes after Warner Bros. Discovery decided not to renew its deal for new episodes, which had previously aired on Warner Bros. Discovery — HBO and HBO Max since 2016. Salvador Perez, executive producer, highlighted upcoming changes to the show's format and focus on emotional well-being. Paula Kerger of PBS expressed commitment to the show's educational mission.
