Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind Sesame Street, is cutting staff in an effort to “downsize significantly”, its president and CEO, Sherrie Rollins Westin, told employees this week.
The news of layoffs at the organization came just shortly after more than 200 employees at Sesame Workshop revealed their plans to unionize and comes several months after Warner Bros Discovery decided not to renew the distribution deal for new episodes of Sesame Street, the long-running, beloved children’s program.
