Summary
Netflix is reportedly in talks to have Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert direct a new Sesame Street movie, reviving a film effort that has stalled for years.
The streamer has carried Sesame Street since 2025 and is now looking to expand the franchise with a feature, starting over from an earlier concept first developed at Warner Bros. in 2015.
That prior version cycled through multiple directors and at one point had Anne Hathaway attached, but fell apart amid scheduling conflicts and COVID disruptions.
The new project still has no writer, and if it moves ahead it would become Sesame Street's first movie since 1999's Elmo in Grouchland.
