‘CoComelon' Animated Series Moving From Netflix To Disney+
Preschool powerhouse CoComelon will have a new streaming home. Disney+ has picked up the hit animated series, which has been a Netflix mainstay since 2020. The move is slated for January 2027. CoComelon, from Candle Media-owned Moonbug Entertainment, originated on YouTube where it continues to be among the most popular channels. It also has been the top preschool title on Netflix, fueling the global streamer's growth in kids and family programming. More from Deadline Netflix Greenlights New Argentine Films As Ricardo Darín & Juan José Campanella Movies Begin Production 'Lilo & Stitch' Director Dean Fleischer Camp, Stars Maia Kealoha & Sydney Elizebeth Agudong & Producer Jonathan Eirich Talk Contemporary Updates To Classic Story 'The Waterfront' Trailer: Coastal Family Turns To Drugs To Save Empire in Kevin Williamson Drama Meanwhile, Disney has always been the preeminent brand for kids programming, and CoComelon, currently the #6 streaming show for preschool kids (2-5) according to Nielsen, will join the top 3 titles in the demo on Disney+: Bluey (#1), Spidey and His Amazing Friends (#2) and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (#3). According to Netflix sources, the streamer opted not to renew the CoComelon license due to decline in viewership for the preschool phenom, which was down nearly 60% from 2023 H1 to 2024 H2 despite four new seasons (S9-S12) launching in 2024, per the streamer's semi-annual reports. Offshoot Cocomelon Lane will continue exclusively on Netflix as well as Moonbug's Blippi. Possibly in light of the pending departure of CoComelon, first reported by Bloomberg, Netflix just secured the streaming rights of another preschool staple, Sesame Street. CoComelon's pedigree is similar to that of Bluey, coming from an independent international animated house. The two are now set to live side by side on Disney+ with the streamer likely to expand the CoComelon brand the way it has been doing it with Australian import Bluey. The series' move to Disney+ will come in the lead-up to the 2027 release of a CoComelon movie by Universal. The exclusive SVOD global rights to the show include future seasons as well as 8 seasons of spinoff Little Angel, which is popular in LATAM. This marks a return of sorts for CoComelon, which was available on Hulu between October 2020 and October 2022 on Hulu where Season 1 was the most watched title among households with preschoolers (by hours streamed).

A 'CoComelon' Movie Is Coming—Here's What We Know So Far
Since it launched as a YouTube channel in 2006, CoComelon has become one of the most iconic kids' shows on the planet. Kids grow up singing the show's songs, and JJ (the main character) might even be your toddler's first best friend. Now we have another exciting addition to the CoComelon empire: A feature-length movie in the works. The film won't hit theaters until 2027, but Moonbug Entertainment, which produces CoComelon, just announced that the movie has been greenlit. There are no details about the plot quite yet, but we do know that the animated film will follow the show's hero, JJ, and friends Cody, Nina, CeCe, and Bella, as well as YoYo, TomTom, and Nico, on a never-before-seen adventure. Given that so much CoComelon content is based around songs, there's a good chance it could be a musical. This isn't the first time CoComelon dipped its toe into spin-off territory. In fact, there are so many different ways for your kids to enjoy CoComelon while you're waiting for the movie to come out. New videos are posted to the show's YouTube account every week. The show CoComelon Lane on Netflix focuses on JJ and his friends working through milestones, from learning to take care of a new pet to getting a haircut. There are currently 4 seasons on the show on the streaming platform—the latest one just came out this year. If you want to take advantage of CoComelon songs, which teach foundational skills like the names of colors, counting, and shapes, without adding too much screen time to your little one's day, there are plenty of CoComelon playlists on Spotify that let you do just that. Of course, kids will be thrilled to hear JJ and company are getting their movie (and once it's streaming, parents might actually get a break from Moana and Toy Story). But there are other reasons to embrace CoComelon in your life. The music-based show has a catalogue of songs that can be a helpful aid when it comes to teaching kids important life skills. CoComelon songs cover a range of important topics, including how to use good manners. Several songs also reinforce positive eating habits. CoComelon both captures kids' attention and educates them, so it's a win for families all around. And with a CoComelon movie on the horizon, you and your toddler can rest assured that JJ and his friends will be sticking around to entertain them for a long time to come.
