Max has opted out of renewing its contract with Sesame Street .

The streaming service will continue to license the show from Sesame Workshop through 2027 .

PBS , Netflix , YouTube and Amazon Prime Video have also been mentioned as a future distributor.

The show, now in its 55th season , is competing with massively popular shows like Paw Patrol .

For now, Sesame Street is reportedly examining its options while also preparing to launch production on its revamped 56th season in April , complete with formatting changes like more comedy and animation that seem to acknowledge that competitive landscape. While plans for Sesame Street are apparently still under construction, Sesame Workshop president and CEO Sherrie Westin told the Times that she’s “confident that we will get through this.” She added, “It’s critical because the world needs Sesame Street more than ever before.”.
