SESAME STREET is heading to Netflix—the iconic children’s series is coming to the streamer later this year for its 56th season, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.

According to the streamer, the changes in store include…

• New ways to play along. Cookie Monster opens his very own Cookie Cart on Sesame Street. Will there be cookie chaos or a sweet treat with every adventure? Abby’s Fairy Garden is home to surprising and delightful magical creatures. What could possibly go wrong when Abby helps care for them?
• To-camera moments. The characters speak directly to the viewers and invite them into the action—capturing emotions and interactions.
• Animation overlays that highlight music, action, humor, and important story moments while adding visual excitement. Visual effects like wand sparkles, bubbles, and confetti will add a touch of anything-can-happen magic to the storytelling.
• One 11-minute story. The longer format provides the opportunity to tell stories with even more character-driven humor and heart.
• A new animated segment, Tales from 123 that takes viewers INSIDE the most famous apartment building in the world where they can discover the wacky and whimsical building that Elmo, Cookie Monster, and friends call home.
• The return of fan-favorite episodes of Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck.

These episodes will be available same day-and-date in the US on PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms; the upcoming season will be released in three batches. Halcyon Person also joins as head writer, while Sal Perez and Kay Wilson Stallings serve as executive producers.

Additionally, Netflix will be “able to develop video games for both Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecha Builders.”
