Elmo needs a new streaming home after Max drops Sesame Street

Big Bird is a free agent.

Discovery has decided not to renew its HBO and Max deal with producer Sesame Workshop, which means new episodes of the series will need to find a new home. According to THR, ending its deal for new Sesame Street episodes is part of a change in strategy to focus on adult and broader family content, such as the upcoming Harry Potter series for 2026. Sesame Street moved over to HBO in 2016, where new episodes aired before eventually making their way to PBS for free viewing months later.
