"Sesame Street" Officially a Hit on Netflix!
According to a recent post by Sesame Workshop, their recent partnership with Netflix is proving to be a big hit.
Season 56 debuted as the streamer's #1 kids show in the US and regions around the world and new content from the season was streamed more than 9 million times on PBS KIDS platforms.
Below is the original post.
It’s a milestone moment for Sesame Street. Season 56 of Sesame Street debuted last week on Netflix and PBS KIDS and quickly became the #1 kids show on Netflix in the US and regions around the world. In its first week alone, Season 56 content was streamed more than 9 million times on PBS KIDS platforms.
Writer Emily Horgan underscored that this momentum reflects “deliberate, strategic endeavors to cook up the perfect footprint across the most relevant touchpoints of modern-day preschool audiences.” She further noted that Sesame Street’s approach to Roblox “offers a strong reference point for preschool brands… age-appropriate, safe, and genuinely additive for young audiences rather than purely promotional.”
From Netflix and PBS KIDS to YouTube and Roblox, thank you for your continued support as we meet kids where they are and advance our mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.
Sesame Street Season 56 is now streaming on Netflix and PBS Kids!

AppleTV Debuts "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock" Trailer!
The Fraggles eagerly await the first snow of the season and all the traditions it brings, but when only a single snowflake arrives and Gobo can’t write the yearly holiday song everyone is expecting, the season is thrown off course. For the first time ever, Gobo journeys to the human world — or as the Fraggles refer to it: Outer Space — to find some unexpected musical inspiration.And in another first, back at the Gorgs’ castle, Junior is overwhelmed by the arrival of a new baby Gorg joining the family. This holiday season, the Fraggles and Gorgs learn that beautiful moments aren’t always perfect — but they can be as unique and memorable as snowflakes.

Sesame Street Heading to Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics!
“Sesame Street has long been a source of joy and learning for families across the country,” said Lyndsay Signor, SVP, Sports Marketing, Universal Television Entertainment Group. “Bringing Elmo, Cookie Monster, and their friends to the Winter Games in Milan and Cortina after the success in Paris adds a playful and heartwarming touch to our Olympic storytelling. Their universal charm fits perfectly with the global spirit of the Olympics. And Cookie Monster — we’ve got a fresh batch of biscotti waiting for you!”
“We are excited that Sesame Street will once again be featured as part of NBC Sports’ superb coverage of the Olympics, bringing cultural touchstones together,” said Samantha Kennedy, Vice President Marketing and Brand Strategy for Sesame Workshop. “By providing light-hearted content with athletes and NBC talent, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, and their friends will connect with audiences of all ages, promoting kindness and respect—and providing lots of laughter along the way.”
“Elmo is very excited to come to Milan – that’s in Italy! Elmo can’t wait to cheer on all the athletes at the Olympics. Elmo’s mommy is knitting him a special red, white, and blue hat. Yeah baby!” said Elmo.
Cookie Monster added: “Me been practicing curling with a giant chocolate chippie! Me can’t wait to try all the delicious Italian treats. Cannoli, me got me eye on you!”
Said Grover, “And I, your cute, adorable, and enthusiastic friend Grover am available if Team USA needs any help on the ice. I have been trying to work on my camel spin, but it is difficult to find a camel on Sesame Street. Maybe I can drive the Zamboni!”
With unique and unforgettable backdrops throughout northern Italy, the 2026 Winter Olympics will span from Milan to Cortina with events taking place across multiple venues and regions. This will be the second time the Olympics are held in Cortina (1956 Winter Olympics) and the fourth time overall that Italy has hosted an Olympic Games (1960 Rome Olympics and 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, which is the last time there was a Winter Games in the Central European Time Zone).
In February 2025, NBCU announced that the NBC broadcast network and streaming service Peacock will be the company’s primary platforms for its coverage of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, scheduled for Feb. 6-22, 2026.

Sesame Street’s New Reimagined Season Launches November 10 on Netflix and PBS Kids!
Episodes will invite children to play along in new ways, bring viewers inside the world’s most famous brownstone for the first time, and feature celebrity guests, original music, engaging animation, and, as always, lots of laughter. The season premieres on “Sesame Street Day,” which celebrates the 56th anniversary of the iconic show.
Episodes, which will be available on both Netflix and PBS KIDS on the same day, will drop in three volumes and feature guest appearances by music superstar Miley Cyrus and professional race car driver and NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace. Throughout the season, Sesame Street friends will explore compassion, kindness, and social problem-solving in ways little ones can relate to — whether it’s learning to take turns, cheering up a friend, or finding ways to solve problems together. Celebrity friends will also carry on the fun in exclusive digital content throughout the season.
“Season 56 reimagines Sesame Street, inviting children into the action and bringing them hand-in-hand through high-stakes stories, powerful learning moments, and laugh-out-loud surprises,” said Sal Perez, Executive Producer, Sesame Street. “And, as always, Sesame Street’s curriculum is designed to meet children’s most pressing needs — so our focus this season is on kindness and compassion, something we can all use more of today.”
Each episode will feature interactive, immersive, and visually engaging 11-minute stories that put young viewers at the center of the action. Featuring the beloved Muppets of Sesame Street, every narrative is designed to keep the learning going, with ways to inspire children’s play beyond the screen:
Ever wonder what happens behind the front door of the world’s most famous apartment building? The new five-minute animated segment Tales from 123 invites viewers in for a laugh-out-loud look at the wacky and whimsical shenanigans beyond the stoop. Led by Elmo and Tango, the action-packed segments follow fun and surprising adventures with building residents Cookie Monster, Grover, Abby, Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, fairies, animals, shapes, talking food — and everyone’s favorite apartment building superintendent, Oscar the Grouch. From the Mighty Monster Megaphone to the zany elevator and musical stairs, you never know what’s behind the door at 123 Sesame!
“With skills like perspective-taking, listening, and cooperation, children will see how even tough moments can be turned into opportunities for caring, connection, and fun,” said Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, Sesame Workshop’s Senior Vice President of Global Education. “We hear time and again from parents who want to give their children the emotional well-being and problem-solving skills they need to succeed in life. This season’s curriculum is designed to meet the moment for families, all in the joyful way only Sesame can.”
With the launch of this season, Sesame Street will reach more children in more places than ever before in its 56-year history. New episodes will be available in 30+ languages globally on Netflix and released on the same day on PBS stations, the PBS KIDS Channel, and across PBS KIDS digital platforms in the U.S. This unique public-private partnership enables Sesame Workshop to bring its research-based curriculum to young children around the world with Netflix’s global reach, while ensuring children in communities across the U.S. continue to have free access on PBS KIDS to the Sesame Street they love, building on the 50+ year partnership with PBS.

Diamond Select Toys Muppet Line Officially Cancelled!
Sad news as we got the word today that Diamond Select Toys Muppet action figure line has been officially cancelled!
The latest wave was scheduled to include two-packs of Lew Zealand and Lips, Uncle Deadly and Pepe, Sweetums and Robin. This news may not come as a complete shock. They were on display at this year's Toy Fair, only for the company to announce it's closure in May after declaring bankruptcy.
Like many of you, we held out hope they would still be released under the company's new owners, even keeping our pre-order with Entertainment Earth. Sadly, we received the following email this morning confirming our fear.
"We’re sorry to report that one or more of your Diamond Select Toys pre-orders have been cancelled. As you may already be aware, Diamond Select Toys ceased operations following the bankruptcy of Diamond Comic Distributors and sale of the business. We were recently informed that no remaining open orders will be fulfilled.
As a result, the items listed below have been cancelled from your order. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes."

"Rob Lake Magic featuring The Muppets" A Somewhat Spoiler Free Review!
As a Muppet fan, as most in the audience were, of course I went for The Muppets, but truly I stayed for the magic. While I wish The Muppets were featured more, the spectacle of the magic Lake performed held the audience interest, regardless of our fuzzy felt friends not being on stage every minute.
Another thing I’m sure everyone is curious about is if there are the actual Muppet performers puppeteering the characters. And the answer is ....kind of. While the main Muppet performers recorded the audio track, there are some actual Muppet performers underneath the characters too! Just probably not the ones you may be thinking of. Peter Linz is the puppet captain so one of the performers is guiding the performances, but don’t expect to see Matt Vogel, Eric, Jacobson, or Dave Goelz at your show.
So what other Muppet performers are there if not them? You may remember know our friend Noel MacNeill, known as Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House and Emmy winning Sesame Street performer/director, as well as our friend and Sesame Street performer Sebastian Ricci, both of whom are lending a hand to this production, as well as Stoph Sheer, who worked on the Slumberkins and Muppets Mayhem, as well as a few other puppeteers that worked on the stage production of Emmett Otter Jug-band Christmas, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock and more. Point being the people under stage are very familiar working with The Muppets, The Jim Henson Company, and live stage puppetry.
And since our blog is primarily focused on Muppet merch, we should talk about that as well because there are some exclusive items, including a shirt, hoodie, magnet and two different pins - one with the heads of Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Miss piggy - and another with Kermit and Miss Piggy with Rob Lake.
After the show, I recommend having your reservation secretary, make a reservation for you at Sardi's directly across the street. There, among the many caricatures of famous Broadway performers (and Muppet guests) ....
I truly recommend seeing the show. It’s definitely a different kind of Muppet production. Again, keep your expectations in check as The Muppets are not there every second, but the performances, the writing, and everything else is exactly what you would expect.
| View of the marque from Sardi's |

Kids of all ages will appreciate it and there’s exclusive merch! What more could you ask for? Well maybe a little more Muppets, but I will let the magic speak for itself!
