“Sesame Street” is coming to Netflix. The entire library of episodes will move to the streamer and new episodes will stream as well. Season 56 of “Sesame Street” will air simultaneously on the streamer and on PBS and PBS Kids, the show announced Monday. That means  loveable characters Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Oscar the Grouch, and all their friends will appear in later this year, with “Sesame Street’s” all-new, reimagined 56th season – plus 90 hours of previous episodes – available to audiences worldwide.

The new season will feature fresh format changes and the return of fan-favorite segments like Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck. Expect new ways to play along as Cookie Monster opens his very own Cookie Cart on Sesame Street, and explore Abby’s Fairy Garden, a home to surprising and delightful magical creatures.

Additionally, episodes will now center on one 11-minute story, allowing for even more character-driven humor and heart.

N IS FOR NETFLIX!
