Zach Hyman/NETFLIX After kids and family content brought Netflix 15% of its viewership in the first half of 2026, the streamer is doubling down on its children’s slate.
Netflix announced several family-oriented projects on Thursday, beginning with “Sesame Street,” which it began streaming last year. A new “Sesame Street” film is in development, produced by Sesame Workshop and Netflix film chairman Dan Lin’s company Rideback. The flagship series has been renewed through Season 62, with Volume 4 of Season 57 set to begin streaming on Nov. 23, followed by Volymes 5 and 6 next year. Spinoff series “Mecha Builders,” originally released in 2022, will land on Netflix on Oct. 26.
