Sesame Workshop to provide Spanish-language content for HITN’s new SVOD service Edye

HITN announced that Sesame Workshop will be one of the primary providers of Spanish-language content for its new SVOD service for preschool children, Edye.

“We are very excited to include Sesame Workshop’s content in the launch of our new SVOD preschool service Edye. We have been carefully handpicking every single title that will be featured at the launch of our service and having Sesame Workshop content is a shining example of that effort. Their programs combine high entertainment and educational values, presented by well-known characters that are very close to the hearts of both, children and parents”, said Erika Vogt-Lowell, director of Programming and Acquisitions for HITN.

Edye’s content offering includes seasons three and four of The Furchester Hotel, a series set in a cheerfully chaotic inn run by a close-knit family of monsters, co-produced by Sesame Workshop and the BBC’s CBeebies.

“As viewing habits change, OTT services like Edye allow kids and families to enjoy high-quality educational entertainment on their busy schedules. We’re thrilled to work with HITN as the first preschool content provider on Edye. Together, we’ll share engaging Sesame Street programming with Spanish-speaking families across the country,” said Jennifer A. Perry, Sesame Workshop’s VP, and Publisher, North America Media Products.
