Sesame Street Season 56 Will Be Different

Sesame Street has been saved! We are getting a new season of the show on Netflix with some fun new format changes, but also some fan-favorite segments. Not to worry as we are still going to have Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck and expect new things to happy as Cookie Monster now has a Cookie Cart on Sesame Street. We will also explore Abby’s Fairy Garden and get to see new and exciting magical creatures. Also the episodes will now be a bit more focused with them centering on one 11-minute story.
