YouTube has made history by partnering with Sesame Workshop to create the largest free digital library of "Sesame Street" content - boasting over 100 full episodes available for streaming. This massive collection now resides on both YouTube and the YouTube Kids app, giving fans access to iconic moments from the show's past and present.
The impressive array of episodes features a mix of classic episodes, including the groundbreaking 1983 episode "Goodbye Mr. Hooper," which addressed the death of actor Will Lee who played the neighborhood grocer, as well as more recent seasons. Other standout episodes include the 1969 series premiere "Welcome to Sesame Street" and "Snuffy Is Revealed," where Big Bird finally reveals that his friend Mr. Snuffleupagus isn't imaginary.
YouTube has also expanded its library with content featuring YouTube Shorts starring the Sesame Street Muppets, as well as themed compilations on topics such as ABCs & 123s, STEM, and holidays. The addition of these resources aims to further engage families who already enjoy "Sesame Street" through the official channel.
"We're thrilled to welcome our new friends to YouTube," said Sesame Workshop in a statement. "Our Street just got a little longer." With this move, YouTube has solidified its position as a go-to destination for fans of the beloved children's show.
YouTube is not the only platform offering access to "Sesame Street" content, however. Netflix has secured global streaming rights to current-season episodes and some library content, while HBO Max continues to offer a large collection of episodes in the US. In addition, PBS stations and digital platforms provide day-and-date access to episodes in the US.
For fans of "Sesame Street," this new development is sure to bring excitement - offering more than 100 full episodes of the show at no cost. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, YouTube has made it easy to explore the world of Sesame Street like never before.
