Streaming and Tradition: Expanding the Global Reach of the Beloved Series

The popular children's series is stepping into a new era by joining a major streaming platform. In a move that promises to expand its reach while keeping its longstanding traditions, plans have been set in motion to introduce the cherished program to audiences around the world.

The future of the series is well secured. Sesame Workshop has reached an agreement with a leading digital platform to stream the classic show globally, while also scheduling new episodes and seasons. These episodes will debut simultaneously on the streaming service and on familiar U.S. based channels that have been home to the show for over 50 years.

According to an official statement by Sesame Workshop, two key points were announced:

  • Additional seasons and a collection of older episodes will soon be accessible worldwide on the streaming platform.
  • The upcoming episodes will also air on the same day via select public television stations and digital channels in the United States, reinforcing a a connection that has lasted for over fifty years.

This collaborative public-private initiative is designed to bring an educational and research-based curriculum to children across the globe using the expansive reach derived from the streaming platform. Simultaneously,, it guarantees that families in American communities will continue to enjoy free access to the program on public broadcasting networks.

While an exact launch date on the streaming platform has yet to be confirmed, a recent social media update from the service indicates that the arrival will occur later this year.
