Netflix drops first trailer for Sesame Street TV reboot

After more than half a century off air, Sesame Street is being reborn for a new generation, making its return to Netflix with a shiny new reboot. The streaming giant has repurposed the show into an 'interactive' experience, packed with the same heart-warming lessons as the original that launched in the late 1960s. The show first started five decades ago after being created by former classmates Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. Now re-designed to capture a whole new generation of children's imaginations, Big Bird, Elmo, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster will be back for more lessons in counting, sharing, kindness and belonging, all through song. And with the first four episodes already available to stream, and more to come, it marks the first time the series has gone global in over 30 languages. The 11-minute episodes launch on the same day as they did back in 1969.
