HBO and Max End 'Sesame Street' Episode Deal

Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service Max has decided not to renew its deal for new episodes of 'Sesame Street,' shifting its focus to adult and family programming. However, Max will continue to license existing episodes of the iconic children's show through 2027. Sesame Workshop is now seeking a new platform for its original episodes and plans to "reimagine" the show for its 56th season, introducing longer narrative segments and a new animated series. Potential new partners could include major streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+, or Prime Video.
