On 16 January 2016, ‘Sesame Street’ will launch season 46 of the show on HBO with the boldest changes to the Street to date, including 30-minute episodes, new preschool-relevant themes, new show open and closing songs, an updated set, a new segment called Smart Cookies and a new cast member, Nina.


Earlier, the show was on US pubcaster PBS. Content will be available on PBS Kids.

On 16 January, two new episodes of ‘Sesame Street’ will debut on HBO. New episodes will also simultaneously debut on HBO Latino and will be dubbed into Spanish.

Families will also be able to watch new and past seasons of ‘Sesame Street’ daily on HBO Family, as well as five years of library episodes available for streaming on HBO Now and HBO Go. Episodes will also be available on HBO On Demand and affiliate portals.

‘Sesame Street’ content continues to be available to PBS Kids viewers on weekdays and Sundays on local stations, and on the PBS Kids Video App.

Season 46 episodes will begin airing on PBS KIDS next fall. Sesame Workshop executive VP, creative director Brown Johnson said, “Families will see fun and fresh changes to Sesame Street and can depend on their favorite Muppet friends to provide them with engaging and educational content.

We’re excited to bring the timeless lessons of ‘Sesame Street’ to HBO viewers; like learning numbers from The Count, inner strength from Elmo, and kindness from Abby.”

In a departure from the show’s longstanding one-hour format, every episode now runs for 30 minutes, helping kids focus their attention and engage with each story. ‘Sesame Street’ will continue to deliver lessons in ways that aim to delight viewers.
