Link: Classic Sesame Street episodes are coming to YouTube

Starting January 2026, YouTube will host hundreds of classic Sesame Street episodes, enhancing its kid-friendly content offerings. This move positions YouTube with the largest digital library of Sesame Street episodes, according to Sesame Workshop.

YouTube's extensive array of children's content already includes popular channels like Cocomelon and Ms. Rachel. Adding Sesame Street to its repertoire offers another educational choice for parents seeking quality programming for their children.

Meanwhile, Netflix will premiere new Sesame Street episodes starting November 10, featuring significant format changes, such as 11-minute stories per episode. These episodes will also be simultaneously available on PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms in the U.S.

Last year, Warner Bros. Discovery ended its agreement with Sesame Workshop regarding the airing of new Sesame Street episodes on HBO Max. This shift has influenced the distribution strategy for these beloved children's shows.

Through acquisitions and strategic partnerships, major streaming platforms are continuously evolving to capture diverse audiences. This includes securing content that not only entertains but also educates the younger demographics.

As consumers increasingly turn to streaming services for varied content, platforms like YouTube and Netflix are keen to diversify their offerings to meet the changing demands of viewers worldwide. #
