US EditionSesame Street’s new season: Bubba Wallace, Netflix and a whole lot of chickens
Sesame Street's 56th season features a new 11-minute story format and guest NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace, streaming in 30+ languages on Netflix and airing on PBS.
- Sesame Street launches Season 56 on Nov. 10 on Netflix and PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms, opening with NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace as a guest.
- The distribution shift followed a planned reimagining, with Netflix picking up the series after HBO Max opted not to renew at the end of last year, says Sal Perez.
- Episodes will arrive in three volumes and feature immersive 11-minute main stories, plus new Tales from 123 and returning segments like Elmo's World and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck.
- Producers expect the extra runtime will allow the creative team to add songs in every episode and emphasize Sesame Street curriculum focusing on kindness and compassion.
- Netflix will roll out episodes four at a time over three periods, keeping the 30-minute runtime, while producers say celebrities like Miley Cyrus add unique flavor to the show.
