So what happens now?
This led tothe massive news in August 2015 that it had been purchased by HBO.
Warner Bros.
This is heartbreaking news for the series, and for TV in general, butSesame Streetisn’t dead.
So just why would WBD make such a decision?
As disappointing as this news is, it doesn’t mean that it’s the end forSesame Street.
‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’ was one of the best fantasy TV series in recent years.
This is seen in the on-screen product as well.
Sesame Workshop is a non-profit which produces the series,and nowJoseph Giraldiwill be its chief operating officer.
He has a history in digital media and was a co-founder of the consulting firm CJBK Media Group.
It will be up to him and new CEO Sherrie Westin to secure a new deal forSesame Street.
I look forward to working with the team to help carry on this incredible legacy."
With his vast experience, Joseph Giraldi is certainly qualified to leadSesame Streetinto the future.
Sesame Streetis currently available to watch on Max.
