TAKE IT EASY - Sesame Street To Get Major Rebrand in 2025

As we reach the midway point of the 2020s, the longest-running preschool sketch-comedy series in American television, Sesame Street is getting a major upgrade. This was recently revealed by the series' showrunner boss Kay Wilson Stallings at a recent press meeting.

Starting with Season 56 in November 2025, the program will be given a more easier on the eyes and more better simplified format, with the typical episodes being two 11-minute stories instead of it just being a random jumble of animations, segments and celebrity appearances. The program will be getting rid of its compilcated magazine style format and going over a major new upgrade, which for the first time will bring the human cast and Sesame Muppets together in the same room like never before.

This isn't the first nor the last time that the Sesame catalog has undergone the 15-minute episode carts treatment, as both spin-off series The Not Too Late Show with Elmo (2 seasons x 27 episodes) and Mecha Builders (1 season x 26 episodes) have also undergone the same format.

But don't worry, the show is not cancelled and is still getting more episodes as the years go by. All your favorite Muppet characters Elmo, Grover, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Zoe, Abby Cadabby, Rosita, Baby Bear, Bert & Ernie, Snuffy, Telly, Julia, Rudy and the Count von Count will still be sticking around for a lot longer, more Letter and Number of the Day and all your favorite Sesame miniseries like Elmo's World, Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck and Abby's Amazing Adventures will still continue despite the upcoming long migration overhaul.

The news comes just ten days before the premiere of the series' 54th season which premieres in a week from Thursday on November 9th on Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, HBO Max and Discovery+, with a cable linear premiere on PBS Kids in September 2024.
