Sesame Street Avoids Cancellation, Finds New Home on Netflix
Everything's A-OK now that Sesame Street has been saved. Six months after Warner Bros. Discovery opted not to renew its deal for new episodes, threatening Big Bird's very existence, the iconic children's series has landed at Netflix. More from TVLine Project Runway Sets July Premiere Date for New Season on Freeform - Watch Teaser YOU Series Finale Almost Ended Very Differently for Joe Goldberg: 'We Were Not All on the Same Page' Star Search Reboot to Stream Live on Netflix - Get Details 'We are excited to announce that new Sesame Street episodes are coming to Netflix worldwide and PBS Kids in the U.S.,' Sesame Place said in a statement Monday. 'The support of Netflix, PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting serve as a unique public-private partnership to enable Sesame Street to continue to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.' After airing exclusively on PBS for nearly 50 years, new episodes of Sesame Street relocated to HBO in 2016 as part of a five-season deal. The deal was renewed in 2019, with new episodes continuing to stream on Max — that was, until WBD opted not to do any further business with Elmo. 'It has been a wonderful, creative experience working with everyone at Sesame Street on the iconic children's series and we are thrilled to be able to keep some of the library series on Max in the U.S.,' a Max spokesperson said at the time. '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.' As part of the Netflix deal, new episodes of Sesame Street will stream worldwide and air on PBS stations in the U.S. the same day. A new season, along with library episodes, will arrive on the service in late 2025 (release date TBA).

YOU Series Finale Almost Ended Very Differently for Joe Goldberg: ‘We Were Not All on the Same Page'
With the final season of YOU still claiming a spot in Netflix's Top 10, fans are clearly savoring every last moment they can spend with Badgley's literal ladykiller, which feels oddly appropriate, considering the series finale ends with Joe Goldberg breaking the fourth wall to judge people who fangirl over monsters such as himself. Speaking of that series finale, it concludes with (spoiler alert!) Joe getting exposed for his many heinous crimes and spending the rest of his days behind bars. But the Lifetime-turned-Netflix drama almost reached a very different conclusion, and it would have been just as divisive as the ending we got.

'We debated it as a room. We were on the same page in terms of him getting his comeuppance, having to face what he is, and giving a voice to the victims and to the loved ones of the victims. We were all very much on the same page about all of that, but when it came down to the specifics of his capture versus death versus seeing him in court and all of that, there were just too many ways to go — and we were not all on the same page.' So, what happened? Basically, the powers that be eventually decided death was 'too easy' an out for ol' Joe. 'We thought he needed to be punished, and we liked the idea of him being in a cage of his own, not being able to enjoy the touch of somebody he loves, and being completely powerless,' Foley explained. 'That was a better punishment, not to mention a better visual than a tombstone.' Do you think YOU should have ended with Joe's death, or are you glad (for whatever reason) that he survived?
