Sesame Street is staying on Netflix for several more seasons. The streamer said on September 24 that its agreement with Sesame Workshop now covers new episodes through Season 62. It also announced a new Sesame Street movie in development with Sesame Workshop and Rideback. The series extension and the movie are separate announcements, so families should not expect the film to arrive with the next batch of episodes.
There is a nearer date for the show. Season 57 Volume 4 is scheduled for November 23, 2026, while Volumes 5 and 6 are planned for 2027. Netflix has not listed specific dates for those 2027 volumes. The company also says the Sesame Street animated spin-off Mecha Builders will join Netflix on October 26. That gives families several distinct releases to look for, rather than one all-at-once launch.
What do we know about the movie?
For now, the confirmed detail is that a new film is being developed. Netflix named Sesame Workshop and Rideback as partners, but did not announce a title, cast or release date. It also did not say whether the movie will use the same format as the current show. We will cover those details when the people making it share them. A plan for a film is good news for fans, but it is not a finished movie that can be watched today.
The long-running show has changed distribution over the years, yet its familiar characters remain the main draw. Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and Grover are part of the current Netflix-era episodes. The new format combines stories and short segments with moments where young viewers can play along. Families who have watched older seasons can recognize the street and the Muppets while finding newer stories in the Netflix collection.
Where can families watch Sesame Street now?
Netflix already carries new Sesame Street episodes, older episodes and specials in its collection. In the United States, new episodes also have free access through PBS and PBS Kids. That matters for families who do not have Netflix. The exact catalog and timing may differ in other countries, so check the local service listing instead of assuming every episode is available everywhere.
Netflix's June collection update said it had more than 100 older episodes and specials, plus Season 56 episodes, with more library episodes added afterward. The newly announced extension means the service plans to keep receiving future seasons as well. It does not say that all seasons from the show's long history will suddenly appear in one place.
The main takeaway is straightforward: the TV show has a longer future on Netflix, Season 57 has another volume coming this November, and a movie is being worked on separately. We have put the current viewing information and more character images on the related Sesame Street page.
