Get ready for even MORE of the longest running preschool series EVER!!!!
HBO and Sesame Workshop have announced a second five-year contract deal, this time airing on the network's streaming platform HBO Max. The episodes will also air on PBS Kids nine months later.
Seasons 51-55 of Sesame Street will be rolling out on the platform between at least 2020-2025.
In addition, the two brands are working around the clock to develop four new spin-off series based on the program, including a kid-friendly late night talk show The Not Too Late Night Show with Elmo and the animated series Mecha Builders. An additional two spin-off series have titles yet to be announced; one being a cartoon while the second being about dogs.
In further addition, HBO and Sesame Workshop are developing a special animated movie adaptation of the classic Sesame Street book The Monster At The End of This Book, originally written and illustrated by fellow Sesame Street employees Jon Stone and Michael J. Smollin respectively and published by Golden Books in 1971, with a sequel in 1996 co-starring Elmo titled Another Monster At The End of This Book, and interactive mobile app versions of both installments produced by Sesame Workshop and Calloway released in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
