Sesame Street will make format changes and add a new animated series, Tales From 123, for season 56.
Word on the street is that 123 Sesame Street is getting an overhaul. Sesame Street will undergo a"reimagining" for its upcoming 56th season in 2025, with the beloved PBS and Max educational children's series moving away from the classic"magazine format" for more story and narrative-driven segments.
"With any change you have evolutions, and then you have things that are slightly bigger steps, while still staying core to who we are," Sesame Workshop CEO Steve Youngwood told The Hollywood Reporter. "We felt like this was a moment to step back and think bigger about how we evolve it." Kids' and parents' favorite puppets — classic characters Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Grover, Oscar, and the Count, and more recent additions like Abby Cadabby, Rudy, Rosita, Tamir, Gabrielle, Julia, Gonger, and Elmo's dog Tango — will continue to appear in the live-action and animated segments.
These new Tales will include the core characters but won't"necessarily link into the 'A' story or the 'B' story," Wilson Stallings explained of the 11-minute story segments. Instead, these are five-minute installments that will be"very characterful, that has a lot of humor, that really kind of highlights the best components of who our characters are."
