Sesame Street also confirmed the news, expressing their excitement about the move. They revealed that all new episodes of Sesame Street will be available on Netflix worldwide, along with library episodes. In addition, new episodes will continue to be released on PBS Stations and PBSKIDS platforms in the US on the same day, maintaining a relationship that has spanned over 50 years.

This news comes after the White House, in May, directed the CPB Board of Directors and all executive departments and agencies to stop Federal funding for NPR and PBS citing media bias.
