 Daily Beast - The newest adventures of the famous Sesame Street friends are in need of a new home, as Warner Brothers Discovery opted out of renewing its deal to premiere new episodes of the long-running TV show’s on HBO or Max. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the license deal for previously aired episodes from the show’s library remains intact until 2027, so that content will remain available on the platforms despite the change.

A Max spokesperson told THR, that though it’s been “a wonderful, creative experience working with everyone at Sesame Street,” the launch of Max showed the company needed to change strategy: “We’ve had to prioritize our focus on stories for adults and families, and so new episodes from Sesame Street, at this time, are not as core to our strategy.”
