Sesame Street Finds New Home on Netflix

Sesame Street, the beloved children’s show, has been saved from cancellation and found a new home on Netflix. The show will now be available to stream on the platform, ensuring that generations of kids will continue to learn and grow with their favorite characters.

You might be wondering why Disney, the owner of the Muppets, didn’t rescue Sesame Street. Well, the rights to the Muppets are actually split between three companies. Sesame Workshop owns characters like Big Bird and Elmo, while Disney owns Kermit and other Muppet Show characters. The Jim Henson Company still owns Fraggle Rock and other original creations.

Despite the split ownership, Sesame Street will live on thanks to Netflix. The show will be available for free on PBS and the PBS Kids app, showing that public broadcasting is still an essential part of children’s education.

So, rest assured that Sesame Street will continue to bring joy and learning to kids everywhere, thanks to its new home on Netflix. It’s a win-win situation that ensures that the magic of Sesame Street can be enjoyed for years to come.
