CoComelon, known for its simple, plotless, CG-animated shorts accompanied by nursery rhymes, stands as a significant force in children’s programming. It garnered 601 million views on Netflix in 2023. According to Bloomberg, it ranked as the second most-watched show on the platform last year.

Despite its widespread viewership, Bloomberg notes that CoComelon has experienced a decline in views by “almost 60% over the last couple of years.” It dropped from being the fifth most-watched show in 2023 to not even making the top 10 last year across all streaming platforms. Nonetheless, Disney appears to have struck a beneficial deal, reportedly agreeing to pay “tens of millions” annually for the show. This move aligns with the release of the first CoComelon movie in theaters, also slated for 2027.
