“Sesame Street” is coming to Netflix with a new season later this year.

The show, which has been a hallmark of children’s TV for over half a century, will release a new season with “fresh format changes” and the return of fan-favorite segments like “Elmo’s World” and “Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck,” Sesame Workshop said in a press release.

The deal announced Monday comes months after Warner Bros. Discovery said it was not renewing its deal with the long-running children’s show.

In the new season, Cookie Monster will open his own Cookie Cart on Sesame Street, and Abby Cadabby’s Fairy Garden will be home to “surprising and delightful magical creatures,” the release states. The episodes will also center on one 11-minute story to allow for “even more character-driven humor and heart.”

“Sesame Street” will continue to be available on PBS Kids. Season 56 will be released in three batches.

“We are excited to announce that all new Sesame Street episodes are coming to @netflix worldwide along with libr episodes, and new episodes will also release the same day on @PBS Stations and @PBSKIDS platforms in the US, preserving a 50+ year relationship,” the show said in a post on X.

“The support of Netflix, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting serve as a unique public-private partnership to enable Sesame Street to continue to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.”
