Sesame Street's future was uncertain with Max discontinuing new episodes distribution. However, it will begin streaming on Netflix this year with new episodes and fan-favorite segments. PBS will air episodes on the same day as Netflix, ensuring access to quality children's content. Amid these changes, Sesame Workshop announced significant staff layoffs due to the shifting media landscape, stating it was necessary to fulfill its mission. Additionally, Cookie Monster is set to have new adventures in the series, expanding his role with a Cookie Cart.
Public media is essential, and we know from years of research that providing new, high-quality content to children across the country for free helps prepare them for success in school and life.
Amid the changing media and funding landscape, we have made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our organization. These changes are necessary to ensure that the Workshop is poised to continue to deliver on its mission for years to come.
