Reimagined Sesame Street to Debut on Netflix November 10
The highly anticipated, freshly reimagined Sesame Street debuts its new season on Netflix on Monday, November 10. Episodes will invite children to play along in new ways, bring viewers inside the world’s most famous brownstone for the first time, and feature celebrity guests, original music, engaging animation, and, as always, lots of laughter.
Sesame Street launched on November 10, 1969. For the first time, the new reimagined season will launch on Netflix in 30+ languages, offering even more options globally for fans to enjoy the beloved show.
Each episode will feature interactive, immersive, and visually engaging 11-minute stories that put young viewers at the center of the action. Episodes will drop in three volumes, and the featured guest appearance in the first volume is professional race car driver and NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace.
Throughout the season, Sesame Street friends will explore compassion, kindness, and social problem-solving in ways little ones can relate to — whether it’s learning to take turns, cheering up a friend, or finding ways to solve problems together.
“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,” said executive producer Sal Perez.
“And, 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 episodes on Netflix come from the Sesame Workshop production company. Each of the four new episodes is about 30 minutes in length.
The new head writer and co-executive producer is Halcyon Person, an Emmy, Humanitas, and NAACP Award-nominated TV maker who’s worked as a writer, director, and producer for everything from preschool to late night. She was the head writer and co-executive producer of Karma’s World (2021) and Dee & Friends in Oz (2024) on Netflix.
