‘CoComelon' Animated Series Moving From Netflix To Disney+
Preschool powerhouse CoComelon will have a new streaming home. Disney+ has landed the hit animated series, which has been a Netflix mainstay since 2020. The move is slated for January 2027.
CoComelon, from Candle Media-owned Moonbug Entertainment, originated on YouTube where it continues to be among the most popular channels. It also has been the top preschool title on Netflix, fueling the global streamer's growth in kids and family programming.

Meanwhile, Disney has always been the preeminent brand for kids programming, and CoComelon, currently the #6 streaming show for preschool kids (2-5) according to Nielsen, will join the top 3 titles in the demo on Disney+: Bluey (#1), Spidey and His Amazing Friends (#2) and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (#3).
CoComelon's pedigree is similar to that of Bluey, coming from an independent international animated house. The two are now set to live side by side on Disney+ with the streamer likely to expand the CoComelon brand the way it has been doing it with Australian import Bluey.
The series' move to Disney+ will come in the lead-up to the 2027 release of a CoComelon movie by Universal. The exclusive SVOD global rights to the show include future seasons as well as 8 seasons of spinoff Little Angel, which is popular in LATAM.
This marks a return of sorts for CoComelon, which was available on Hulu between October 2020 and October 2022 on Hulu where Season 1 was the most watched title among households with preschoolers (by hours streamed).
Possibly in light of the pending departure of CoComelon, first reported by Bloomberg, Netflix just secured the streaming rights of another preschool staple, Sesame Street.
