Sesame Street Moves to Netflix Amid Funding Threats
Sesame Street will have its 56th season on Netflix, accompanied by 90 hours of previous programming, featuring more interactive formats and an emphasis on familiar segments. New episodes will be available on PBS stations and PBS KIDS streaming platforms simultaneously, ensuring continued free access while leveraging Netflix’s global reach. This partnership arises as President Trump has signed an executive order aiming to eliminate federal funding for PBS and National Public Radio, prompting concerns about public broadcasting’s future.
