‘Sesame Street’ is heading to Netflix.

BBC News says the deal with Netlfix was struck after US President Donald Trump pulled funding for the free-to-air channel, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

Netflix said the iconic programme is a “beloved cornerstone of children’s media, enchanting young minds and nurturing a love of learning”.

Netflix will offer its 300 million subscribers a new season of the show and 90 hours of previous episodes.

It adds that the new season will feature fresh format changes and the return of fan-favorite segments like Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck.

Under the deal, PBS will get access to Sesame Street episodes on the same day they are released on Netflix.

‘Sesame Street’ was also facing an uncertain future after entertainment giant Warner Bros Discovery, which owns the HBO platform, did not renew its deal with the half a century old programme.
