HBO Max

Max (formerly known as HBO Max) is a streaming service launched on May 27, 2020, from WarnerMedia Entertainment. 
In October 2019, Sesame Workshop announced that it would enter a five-year deal with the service, producing original content exclusively for the platform. Five new seasons of Sesame Street made their debut on the service, beginning with Season 51.Sesame Workshop: HBO Max and Sesame Workshop Announce New Content Partnership Cementing a Shared Commitment to Kids and Families, October 3, 2019
Sesame Workshop also developed new programs for the service, including Sesame spin-offs The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo and Mecha Builders, plus animated and documentary series unrelated to the Sesame franchise. Annual Sesame Street specials, beginning with The Monster at the End of This Story, premiered on the service as well. The short-form compilation series, My Sesame Street Friends, premiered on the service in November 2020.
The deal also included legacy content including The Furchester Hotel and "a broad collection of Sesame Street episodes selected from the past 50 years – many available to the public on-demand for the first time ever." Warner Media's April 21, 2020, press release announcing the service's debut on May 27 also noted that content from the Sesame Street library would be available at launch ("Highlights of the extensive WarnerMedia portfolio of programming and acquisitions that will be available on day one include the libraries of... Sesame Street"), but did not specify if the extent of coverage would go beyond what HBO On Demand has already made available.WarnerMedia "HBO Max to Launch May 27th" Press Release, April 21, 2020
In a similar agreement to the deal made with HBO in 2015, all original Sesame content produced for the service aired on PBS as well at a later date (while The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo initially re-aired on Cartoon Network).
On December 13, 2024, it was reported that HBO and Max had chosen not to renew their deal for new episodes of Sesame Street, though Max's library would continue to license episodes from the series through 2027. New episodes of the program were placed on the market, though it was not immediately clear if this would mean that any new broadcaster for the program would not be able to license library episodes of the program as well. The move was part of an overall shift by Max to pull away from children's programming to focus more on its core adult content as well as more general family fare.The Hollywood Reporter - ‘Sesame Street’ Hits the Market: HBO and Max Opt Not to Renew Deal for New Episodes (Exclusive) by Alex Weprin, December 13, 2024
==Sesame Street episodes==
HBO Max includes a number of Sesame Street episodes in its library, although not all of them. Several episodes are new (✔) to the format that had not previously been released in a syndication package, physical home media, or distributed digitally.
HBO assigns their own numbers to the episodes, relative to the season they were produced for. These are non-reflective of the original episode numbers which are still shown on screen at the beginning of each episode.
On November 1, 2020, episodes that had been new to the platform at launch in May 2020 were merged with content previously available streaming on HBO (such as the Sesame Street Classics collection). For a period of time, Episode 3136 was incorrectly placed a second time in their season 31 listing. Episode 4085 was also placed a second time in their season 40 listing.
On August 19, 2022, all episodes from before Season 39 were removed, with the exceptions of seasons 1, 5, and 7.Todd Spangler, "HBO Max Removes About 200 ‘Sesame Street’ Episodes" Variety, August 19, 2022
