Sesame Workshop has announced a new partnership with Netflix for global streaming of new Sesame Street episodes, with Season 56 debuting soon. This agreement follows a successful union vote among staff, allowing them to organize under the Office and Professional Employees International Union. The deal marks a significant revival for Sesame Street, which faced challenges following HBO's withdrawal from future broadcasts, threatening its funding and leading to layoffs. The new streaming strategy aims to reassure fans and secure the show's future amid broader concerns for public media funding under the current political climate.
This lifesaving announcement for the beloved, world-changing kids' program also comes just a few days after a hard-earned victory for the people behind the scenes.
This serves as great relief for Sesame Street and its generations of fans, who've been worried for Big Bird, Elmo, and all their friends.
