8 September 2025

Bea's Block S1

From the makers of Sesame Street, Bea’s Block is an animated comedy series about compassionate and curious five-year-old Bea and her two best friends, Ty and Lexi. The trio models kindness through friendship and empathy as they embark on playful adventures in their diverse community, Blocktown.

In their five-star review, Common Sense Media recommends Bea’s Block for ages 2+, saying, “This spectacular preschool show proves creativity knows no bounds as it stacks up fun, warmth and wooden wonders ... A lively mix of comedy, kindness and great role models.” 

Showmax is adding a wealth of Sesame Workshop content this July, including Sesame Street S49 on 10 September, S50 on 16 September, and S51 on 24 September.
