Classic Sesame Street episodes are making a major digital comeback, with hundreds of full episodes set to debut on YouTube starting in January 2026. This move promises to create the largest digital collection of Sesame Street content available anywhere online, according to Sesame Workshop. For parents and nostalgic viewers alike, this represents a significant expansion of accessible educational and entertainment options on the platform.
YouTube already hosts a wide array of popular children’s programming, including major channels like Cocomelon, which is even slated for a theatrical release in 2027, and Ms. Rachel, who also partners with Netflix. The addition of timeless Sesame Street episodes offers families another trusted, enriching alternative for young viewers.
Meanwhile, new episodes of Sesame Street will begin streaming on Netflix starting November 10th. The upcoming 56th season introduces several updates, including a refreshed format centered around a single 11-minute story per episode. These new installments will also air simultaneously on PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms across the United States.
This shift follows last year’s decision by Warner Bros. Discovery not to renew its agreement with Sesame Workshop, ending the run of new episodes on the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max. The redistribution of content across YouTube and Netflix marks a new chapter for the beloved series, ensuring it remains available to audiences through multiple modern platforms.
