While on the face of it this might not seem like obvious Star Wars news, there are plenty of reasons why classic Sesame Streeet episodes heading to YouTube is such a big deal. We have the great muppeteer Frank Oz bringing his skills to Yoda, numerous talents bringing their skills to the GFFA and of course those classic Star Wars segments that saw R2-D2 and C-3PO take the most welcoming street in America to the galaxy far, far away.
The Hollywood Reporter also wrote about this wonderful news, and lets hope one of the outlets who have rescued this beloved global institution will also make those Star Wars episodes (episodes 1364 and 1396) available.
YouTube is picking up some prime new real estate: Sesame Street.
The video platform says that it has inked an expanded partnership with the nonprofit behind the show, Sesame Workshop, which will make YouTube the largest digital library of Sesame Street content available, including hundreds of classic episodes, beginning in January 2026.
Sesame Street, of course, will debut new episodes on Netflix and PBS in November, and Netflix has picked up about 90 hours of library episodes. Warner Bros. HBO Max also continues to make some library episodes available. YouTube, however, will top both of them, alongside new content created specifically for YouTube.
