SESAME STREET Lands New Streaming Home at Netflix With New Format and the Return of Fan-Favorite Segments — GeekTyrant
Sesame Street is moving streaming locations. The classic kids series was not renewed at HBO/Max, and Netflix quickly picked it up. The show will make its debut on the streamer later this year with an all-new, reimagined 56th season — plus 90 hours of previous episodes — available to audiences worldwide.
The new episodes, which will now center on one 11-minute story, will be available same day-and-date in the U.S. on PBS stations and PBS KIDS digital platforms, keeping U.S. kids' free access to early learning for free. In addition to format changes, the new season will feature the return of fan-favorite segments like Elmo's World and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck.
Sesame Workshop is the global nonprofit behind Sesame Street, with Sal Perez and Kay Wilson Stallings serving as executive producers; Emmy, Humanitas, and NAACP Award nominee Halcyon Person (Karma's World, Dee & Friends in Oz) joins as head writer.
Netflix will also be able to develop video games for both Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecha Builders .

‘Ginny & Georgia' Season 4: Everything To Know After That Shocking Season 3 Ending
Ginny & Georgia. (L to R) Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller in episode ... More 304 of Ginny & Georgia. After more than two years, the third season of Ginny & Georgia is now streaming on Netflix. Packed with twists, turns, and plenty of questions heading into Season 4, the saga of the Miller family continues – and Georgia barely makes it out of this scandal unscathed. Season 3 picks up after Georgia is arrested for murder at her wedding to Wellsbury mayor Paul Randolph. As a refresher, in Season 2, Georgia killed Tom Fuller, the husband of Cynthia Fuller, while he was in hospice care at the Fuller home. Georgia's son Austin, who was playing hide-and-seek and hiding in the closet of Tom's room, witnessed his mom smother Tom with a pillow. Georgia is then arrested and driven away in a cop car, setting the stage for an intense court battle and a potential prison sentence in Season 3. If you've finished all 10 episodes, here's what to know about Ginny & Georgia Season 4 – including what the Season 3 ending means for Georgia and her relationship with her kids, who both made major sacrifices for her. Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Ginny & Georgia Season 3. Ginny & Georgia. (L to R) Diesel La Torraca as Austin Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller in ... More episode 310 of Ginny & Georgia. Season 3 largely focuses on Georgia's trial for the murder of Tom Fuller, which her son witnessed first hand. In an unexpected twist, Austin frames his father, Gil, for the murder he saw his mother commit. This happens largely because of Ginny, who doesn't want her mom to go to prison or for her brother to move away with Gil. Ginny blackmails Cynthia (after uncovering her affair with Joe) and forces her to say that Gil could have been at her house the night Tom was killed. 'In the back of her mind, she's aware of how what she's done to him is what Georgia has done to her, over and over again,' Gentry told Netflix's Tudum of Ginny's relationship with Austin. 'Poor Austin, this kid has gone through so much.' Now, with Gil being framed again in Season 3, having his own son turn on him the same way his ex did feels like a betrayal like no other. Gil blames Georgia for Austin's actions – just as his relationship with his son was finally starting to improve. 'He knows Georgia. He knows what she's capable of. For his son to be the one to throw him under the bus is brutal,' Gil's portrayer Aaron Ashmore said to Tudum. Perhaps one of the biggest shockers in Season 3 is that both Georgia and Ginny end up pregnant after all. 'Ginny gets pregnant, Georgia fakes a pregnancy, and then Georgia really gets pregnant, and we don't know who the dad is. And when you say these things out loud, you're like, 'What in the world is this show?!' ' creator Sarah Lampert quipped to Tudum. Ginny realizes her mom might be expecting after seeing her chug a bottle of milk from the fridge. But with Georgia having slept with both Paul and Joe, the owner of Blue Farm Café, there's one big question: Who's the baby daddy? Meanwhile, according to Gentry, Ginny's pregnancy was always part of the plan for Season 3. "The show is really just about how Ginny and Georgia are mirrors and reflections of each other,' she told the streamer. "Ginny going through a pregnancy the same way that Georgia did, but having the support system in her decision for what to do about it, is the key difference between the two.' Ginny & Georgia. Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller in episode 303 of Ginny & Georgia. Yes, Ginny & Georgia has been renewed for Season 4. In 2023, Netflix announced that the series would return for both a third and fourth season. Unfortunately for fans, Season 4 is expected to be the show's final installment. Showrunner Debra J. Fisher told The Hollywood Reporter that the series was originally pitched as a four-season arc and they already have the final episode planned out. "When Sarah (Lampert) and I pitched the show to Netflix, we did pitch four seasons, so we know what we want the end game to be," Fisher told the publication. 'We know what we want the last episode to be.' Ginny & Georgia. (L to R) Nathan Mitchell as Zion Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller in episode ... More 307 of Ginny & Georgia. While Season 3 focused on breaking Georgia down and bringing her to her lowest point, the creators have teased that Season 4 will focus on rebuilding the mother. Lampert revealed to Tudum that the theme for the fourth installment is 'Cycles and Origins.' Viewers will finally meet Georgia's family on screen and dive deeper into her traumatic past with her abusive stepfather and mother. (This season, Georgia's estranged father, who she hasn't spoken to since she was six, calls her from jail to reveal that, despite her mother's claims that he tried to kill both her and Georgia, she hadn't told the full truth about why he went to prison.) Showrunner Sarah Glinski added that 'the most important thing to Georgia are her kids,' and putting them through a trial will likely have major implications in the next season. 'We thought the biggest consequences are how her children are changed through the process. The burden she leaves on Austin and Ginny at the end of Season 3 is what we'll have to deal with in Season 4.' Lampert said that this unhealthy situation 'is a very powerful place' for Georgia to begin Season 4, now that she's "in a position of really wanting to change and knowing that what's at stake is her relationship with her kids.' Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, told Tudum that she hopes Georgia will continue to push herself in Season 4 and step outside her comfort zone now that she's open to therapy. 'There is a glimmer of hope at the end of Season 3. It starts small, but it's starting, so I think it's possible,' she said. As for Ginny, who's becoming more like her mother by the second, she's heading into the summer with a stronger relationship with her dad, Zion. He's filing for joint custody, and the two are about to take a trip to Korea together. Ginny & Georgia. Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller in episode 304 of Ginny & Georgia. Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Ginny & Georgia Season 4, but the good news is that production is already underway. The writers' room for the next season officially began in February 2025. "First day of the Season 4 writer's room!!! Based on today alone, Season 4 is going to be a RIDE," read the caption of an Instagram post shared by series creator Sarah Lampert and the show's official account. The first season premiered in February 2021, followed by Season 2 in January 2023 and Season 3 in June 2025. Given the show's pattern of releasing new seasons every two years, Season 4 will likely debut sometime in early to mid-2027. Stay tuned for more updates on Ginny & Georgia Season 4.

Harvey Weinstein Says He Has ‘Regrets' and ‘Acted Immorally' Ahead of New York Retrial Verdict: ‘But Never Illegal, Never Criminal'
Harvey Weinstein gave a rare interview as he awaits the verdict in his New York sex crimes retrial, saying that he has 'regrets' that he 'acted immorally' but claiming that it was 'never illegal.' In an exclusive phone conversation on Fox 5's 'Good Day New York,' anchor Rosanna Scotto asked the former Hollywood producer and convicted sex offender what he thought of the women who had testified against him, and if he has any regrets. 'I think Arthur said they had 4 million reasons to testify, as in dollars,' Weinstein said, referring to his lawyer Arthur Aidala. More from Variety Harvey Weinstein's New York Retrial Closes With Prosecutors Urging Jury to 'Let Him Know the Rules Apply to Him' Ahead of Deliberations Harvey Weinstein Was the 'One Being Abused,' Defense Says in Retrial Closing Argument; Prosecution Calls Him 'No Victim' Harvey Weinstein Doesn't Plan to Testify at New York Retrial 'I have regrets that I put my family through this, that I put my wife through this, and I acted immorally,' Weinstein continued. 'I put so many friends through this and hurt people that were close to me by actions that were stupid, you know what I mean? But never illegal, never criminal, never anything.' Weinstein, who was found guilty on three of seven charges in an L.A. sexual assault trial in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison, is being retried in New York after his previous convictions in the state were overturned in 2024. He has been charged with two counts of committing a 'criminal sexual act' in the first degree and one count of third-degree rape. Closing arguments in the retrial wrapped on Wednesday, and jury deliberations began on Thursday. Scotto also asked Weinstein why he decided not to testify in the retrial. Though he said he 'wanted to,' Weinstein added that Aidala 'said to me that the jury was very feeling strongly, that the jury understood our case and would be sympathetic to our case and that the DA would try to rip me apart if I took the stand.' Weinstein continued, 'I'm not afraid of the DA, but this was the best advice and this is the advice you often hear: don't take the stand if you don't have to.'

‘Ginny And Georgia' Season 3 Premieres Weirdly Low On Netflix's Top 10 List
Ginny and Georgia Netflix One of Netflix's biggest hits, Ginny and Georgia, has returned for a long-awaited season 3 after an enormous time gap that left season 2 on a cliffhanger. Now, while Ginny and Georgia has returned for season 3, I am surprised to see where it's debuted on the Netflix top 10 list. As we speak, after yesterday's release and today's top 10 list update, Ginny and Georgia is all the way down at #8 on the top 10 list, unusual for a show you would imagine would debut near the top, if not assuredly #1 given its history of success on Netflix. What's going on here? I'm not precisely sure. It just doesn't track that seven other shows would be higher than the return of Ginny and Georgia, which has commanded tens of millions of Netflix viewership hours. Rather, Sirens, the sister-based drama starring Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock has been planted at #1 for two weeks and remains there now. Weirdly, the Netflix banner for the show actually says it's #1 on the Top 10 list despite it saying #8 literally right above that. Maybe this is a technical issue? Ginny and Georgia netflix One theory about Ginny and Georgia's performance is simply that many people didn't get the memo that it's returned, given the sheer wait time between seasons. It has been almost two and a half years exactly between season 2 and 3, where season 2 was out on January 5, 2023, and season 3 just came out on June 5, 2025. Even in this streaming era of lengthy waits, that's usually 1.5-2 years. 2.5 is really pushing it, especially for a series that should not require any vast amount of VFX work or a hyper-busy A-list cast. There have been social media jokes about how the show has taken so long to get through three seasons, Ginny's younger brother Austin, played by Diesel La Torraca, has grown roughly two feet and looks sort of absurd now if the show is claiming he's the same character age in a shorter period of time. I do expect viewership of Ginny and Georgia to pick up, but this is certainly strange to see with a show this high-profile that was supposed to be anticipated by fans. Again, maybe many just didn't know it was out and weren't tracking the marketing being done. Or there wasn't enough marketing in the first place. The moral of the story here is that Netflix has to stop these insanely long gaps between seasons of shows. It's exhausting for audiences and ridiculous for a show like Ginny and Georgia in particular. But who knows when this trend will end. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
