While PBS’s future isn’t all that sunny at the moment, Sesame Street is expanding its digital footprint: In addition to finding a new home on Netflix (with episodes airing at the same time on PBS), the beloved children’s TV show will also make “the largest digital library” of content available on YouTube beginning in January 2026.
The show made the announcement via social media (see below), promising that “hundreds of full episodes” are “coming to the Sesame Street channels.” (A far superior viewing option to Cocomelon.)
“Join us as we help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder, one episode at a time,” the official announcement concludes. Hopefully we’ll continue to see great appearances from artists like SZA, Noah Kahan, and Brandi Carlile in the future.
