Parents and children everywhere know Ms. Rachel’s music well, and now the viral YouTube sensation will be coming to Netflix with a brand new show featuring her most popular music.
Premiering Jan. 27, Ms. Rachel stars educator Rachel Accurso performing a “curated compilation of her playful, research-backed videos for every stage of a child’s development, from early language development to phonics and learning to read,” per a Netflix release. Ms. Rachel co-created, wrote, and executive produced the series with her husband and collaborator, Aron Accurso.
The show will likely feature a format similar to the YouTube videos that earned Ms. Rachel a whopping 13.1 billion subscribers on YouTube and an additional 5.6 million on TikTok.
The first season of Netflix’s Ms. Rachel will kick off with four episodes ranging from 30 to 60 minutes long, which will share lessons in language, numbers, shapes and colors.
It also appears that the series will highlight some of her most popular original music; in her colorful announcement on Instagram, Ms. Rachel mentioned, “Some of your favorite @msrachelforlittles songs and lessons are coming to Netflix January 27!”
More episodes are set to premiere on Netflix later this year. Episodes will be available in English with subtitles in 33 languages.
Per Netflix’s Tudum, the first four episodes are as follows:
- Learn to Talk — “What’s in the Box?” Speech and Toddler Learning
- Baby Learning — First words, Milestones, Nursery Rhymes, and Songs
- Learn to Read — Phonics, ABCs, and Preschool Learning
- Hop Little Bunnies — Plus More Songs and Nursery rhymes
Ms. Rachel is an early childhood education expert with master’s degrees in early childhood development and music education. She and Aron launched the Ms. Rachel YouTube account in 2019 after learning that their one-year-old son had a speech delay, per The New York Times.
Now, she is joining the likes of CoComelon and Blippi, both of which translated their YouTube success into hit Netflix series.
She recently announced on CBS Mornings that she will also be releasing a potty training special on YouTube this coming February.
The premiere date for the next batch of Ms. Rachel episodes has not been announced yet.
