Netflix is for the children.
On Monday, the streaming giant revealed the trailer for its first Sesame Street season, season 56 overall, which premieres in exactly one week. Netflix promises its version will have an all-new playability, as well as more comedy.
Sesame Street first launched on Nov. 10, 1969 — exactly 56 years prior to its Netflix era. Netflix’s Sesame Street will be available in 30-plus languages.
On Netflix, Sesame Street episodes will be 11-minutes long. The streaming service will drop three at a time, with the first feature guest appearance being professional race car driver and NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace. There will be a total of four banks of episodes.
“Season 56 reimagines Sesame Street, inviting children into the action and bringing them hand-in-hand through high-stakes stories, powerful learning moments and laugh-out-loud surprises,” Sal Perez, Sesame Street executive producer, said in a statement. “As always, Sesame Street’s curriculum is designed to meet children’s most pressing needs — so our focus this season is on kindness and compassion, something we can all use more of today.”
The new head writer is Halcyon Person, who served the same role on Netflix’s Karma’s World (2021) and Dee & Friends in Oz (2024).
