Netflix has signed an agreement with Sesame Workshop for new episodes of Sesame Street. Not only will the show appear on Netflix, but also on PBS and the PBS Kids app. Sesame Street has been seen on PBS for over 50 years. When they were with HBO, it took months for episodes to reach PBS.
“This unique public-private partnership will enable Sesame Workshop to bring our research-based curriculum to young children around the world with Netflix’s global reach, while ensuring children in communities across the U.S. continue to have free access on public television to the Sesame Street they love,” Sesame Workshop CEO Sherri Westin said in a statement.
“I strongly believe that our educational programming for children is one of the most important aspects of our service to the American people, and Sesame Street has been an integral part of that critical work for more than half a century,” added Paula Kerger, president and CEO of PBS. “We’re proud to continue our partnership in the pursuit of having a profound impact on the lives of children for years to come.”
The new show will begin with season 56, and will have a new format. It will also have a new animated segment called 'Tales From 123'.
