\"Netflix.jpg\"<\/a>As vacations wind down, school supplies stack up and everyone begins to get back into the school-year routine, Netflix has even more to offer families as they head back to school. Recently, Netflix Inc. and Scholastic Media, the global children\u2019s publishing, education and media company, announced a distribution agreement that will make popular television series and video content produced by Scholastic Media available to Netflix subscribers in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland and Latin America.\u00a0 This is the first time many of the Scholastic titles have been available in the streaming format.<\/p>\n

Starting on Aug. 15, The Magic School Bus\u00ae (seasons 1-4; all 52 episodes), will be available exclusively for SVOD to Netflix members in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and Latin America.\u00a0 Additionally, Goosebumps\u00ae (seasons 1-4; all 74 episodes) will be available in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland.\u00a0 The deal also includes several non-exclusive titles based on award-winning and best-selling books from the Scholastic Storybook Treasures\u2122 line \u2013 including such classics as Harry the Dirty Dog, Danny and the Dinosaur, Chrysanthemum, The Snowy Day and The Mouse and The Motorcycle, and movies such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories and Stellaluna, which are now available in the US and Canada. Many of the titles have never been previously available to consumers on TV or online.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first added The Magic School Bus and Goosebumps for our members in the US and Canada earlier this summer we knew they would perform well, but after seeing just how popular they were we decided to expand our relationship with Scholastic and bring these great shows to more of our markets,\u201d said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer for Netflix.\u00a0 \u201cWe are very happy to be the streaming home for popular classics from Scholastic Media.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted Netflix has recognized the power of Scholastic\u2019s iconic and award-winning global brands,\u201d said Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc. \u201cWe are thrilled to see the shows are as popular as ever \u2013 which is validated by the Netflix subscribers we\u2019re so happy to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional series that are available in the U.S. and Canada as part of the agreement include I SPY\u00ae, The Baby-Sitters Club\u00ae, Dear America\u00ae, Horrible Histories\u00ae, Dragon\u2122, Turbo Dogs\u2122 and Sammy\u2019s Story Shop.
