‘Sesame Street’ Streaming Rights Head to PBS Kids, Netflix

The next era of “Sesame Street” streaming rights are here, with the beloved kids series heading to PBS Kids and Netflix.
New episodes of “Sesame Street” as well as library episodes will be available to watch on Netflix worldwide, and new episodes will also release the same day on both PBS stations and on PBS Kids.
“The support of Netflix, PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting serve as a unique public-private partnership to enable Sesame Street to continue to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger and kinder,” the official “Sesame Street” account said in a statement on X.
The news comes months after HBO and Max opted not to renew their deal, which saw new episodes head to HBO before airing on PBS. The deal had been in place since 2016, but came to an end in 2024 as part of a strategy shift for Max as the streamer focuses more on adult and family programming.
