“Sesame Street” is set to launch its 56th season on November 10, 2023, featuring NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace among its list of guest stars. This new season will introduce a revamped format on Netflix, expanding the show’s reach and modernizing its content.
New Format and Expansion on Netflix
The latest season will feature an 11-minute main story, an increase from the previous year’s 9 minutes. Alongside this, the show will maintain popular segments while introducing new ones. Executive producer Sal Perez emphasized that the show is committed to evolving in order to engage a new generation of children. The premiere episode will showcase races featuring beloved characters Elmo, Abby, and Zoe, accompanied by commentary from Wallace.
This partnership with Netflix enables “Sesame Street” to be accessible in 30 languages worldwide, while still airing on PBS. A fresh segment titled “Tales from 123” will provide viewers with a glimpse into the characters’ apartment building, adding depth to the beloved series.

In another development, the Grand Egyptian Museum has been inaugurated in Cairo, aiming to bolster tourism and boost the country’s economy. This venue is now the largest museum dedicated to a single ancient civilization, housing over 50,000 artifacts, including the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun.
