HBO Max Shows 200 Fewer Episodes Than ‘Sesame Street’ but without clarifying exactly the reason. Warner Bros. Discovery recently acquired HBO Max. On Friday, the streaming service recorded 456 episodes of “Sesame Street” available, compared to about 650 previously available. HBO Max did not have access to all episodes of the series.

HBO Max only shows episodes from seasons 1, 5, and 7, as well as recent seasons 39-52.

An HBO Max spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “‘Sesame Street’ is and always has been an important part of television culture and the crown jewel of our preschool offering… We are committed to continuing to bring ‘Sesame Street’ into the homes of families, including the newest season premiering this fall and the nearly 400 episodes from the most recent and historic seasons that remain on HBO Max’s Cartoonito.”

The upcoming 53rd season will be available on the streaming service, the note said.

HBO and “Sesame Street” joined forces in 2015, and gave the streaming service priority to air all new episodes first, before they aired on PBS, the show’s original “home.” This agreement is still valid.
