Unscripted Sesame Street Specials On The Way!

Sesame Street has three unscripted specials coming to Max (formally HBOMAX). 


Each special will feature talent from Warner Bros. Discovery shows on Food Network and HGTV. 

The theme of each special is giving back. Sesame Workshop’s head of creative Kay Wilson Stallings said the 22-minute episodes mark “the first unscripted specials where we go into the community to help children and families.”

“Whether it’s holding a bake sale to raise money for a cause, turning trash into treasure to spotlight an animal shelter, or remodeling an underfunded theater classroom, all three specials stress the importance of kindness, teamwork, being resourceful and helping others,” said Wilson Stallings, executive vp, chief creative development and production.

The first special, Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale, launched on the streaming service today, features Cookie Monster alongside former NFL player and season 11 Food Network Star winner chef Eddie Jackson.

Oscar’s Handmade Halloween, coming Oct. 19, sees Oscar The Grouch in a rare helpful mood, trying to assist shelter dogs find homes with Food Network personality Sunny Anderson.

Elmo and Tango Holiday Helpers drops December 7th and features a home makeover theme on par with HGTV as Hidden Potential host Jasmine Roth, Elmo and his puppy reimagine a classroom.

All this as Sesame Street kicks off its 54th season in November on Max as well.
