Sesame Street signs deal with Netflix for its 56th season

Sesame Street has a new home at Netflix, where the children's show's 56th season will air later this year. 

Ninety hours of previous programming will also become available on the streaming platform, Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind the show, announced Monday. 

The new season will feature format changes that provide for more interaction and highlight familiar segments like "Elmo's World" and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck, Sesame Workshop said. New episodes will focus on an 11-minute story instead of shorter-format storylines.
