‘Sesame Street’ for sale as Max cancels deal for new episodes

The cat is out the bag and the Muppet is out of the trash can as streaming service Max has announced it’s unloading its stake in “Sesame Street.”

The premium cable network’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, confirmed on Friday it will end its deal to distribute new episodes of the long-running children’s series.

Max will continue to license episodes from the “Sesame Street” library through 2027, but the upcoming 55th season, premiering in January, will be the last to debut on the platform.
