Fifty-six years after "Sesame Street" debuted on TV screens, the beloved children's show will open its brownstone's doors on Netflix for the first time.
On Nov. 3, the streamer gave a sneak peek at the first season, unveiling its first trailer and images from upcoming episodes. The first looks show Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Rosita and other friends playing together in both animated and live-action formats.
Per Netflix's press release, "Episodes will invite children to play along in new ways, bring viewers inside the world’s most famous brownstone for the first time, and feature celebrity guests, original music, engaging animation, and, as always, lots of laughter."
Guests on the "freshly reimagined" program include NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace.
In late 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery – home to HBO Max – decided not to renew its deal with "Sesame Street" after nearly a decadelong partnership in which new episodes were released on the streaming platform while older content re-aired on PBS.
