Ms. Rachel is heading to Netflix!
The hit kids TV series, which started as a web series on YouTube, is set to hit the streaming giant on Monday, Jan. 27 and will be available worldwide. The four-episode season will feature a compilation of Ms. Rachel’s videos for each stage of a kid’s development, ranging from early language development to phonics and learning how to read.
Although there are only four 30 to 60-minute episodes that will be available in January, more episodes of the new show will be available to stream later this year.

In August, Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Accurso, shared that she’d partnered with SpinMaster and Melissa & Doug to create a toy line that’s created with both parents and kids in mind.
Speaking with Parents, Accurso said that she wanted to prioritize toys that could age up with kids so they’re able to play with them for an extended period of time, instead of only a few days.
“Something that grows with a child; something they’re not going to play with for two days and then not want to play with anymore,” Accurso said as she described her toy line. “Something that inspires imagination and creativity; something that you can use in multiple ways.”
“I love Play-Doh, kinetic sand, things that kids can be creative with, and it never gets old, just like classic, toy dolls,” she continued. “Dolls are so wonderful. You can do so much with a doll.”
Accurso’s toy line features 10 new toys that span across multiple different play experiences, including blocks, plushies, puzzles and a rattle. All the toys were designed and created by Accurso herself, who also partnered with development experts.
