Bo Burnham Writing Songs for Sesame Street Movie!

Stand up comedian and film writer/director, Bo Burnham has been hired to write songs for the upcoming Sesame Street movie.

Burnham evolved from comedy musician to award winning film writer/ director with his debut feature Eighth Grade.

The Sesame Street movie follows Big Bird and his friends as they are mysteriously expelled from their neighborhood, and stuck in Manhattan. They team up with Sally Hawthorne (Anne Hathaway), a plucky history-show host who’s on a quest to save her program and prove that Sesame Street actually exists. Obstacles are created by the “evil” mayor, with reasons of his own for keeping Sesame Street hidden from the world.

Directed by Jonathan Krisel, the Sesame Street movie is expected to be released by Warner Bros. in 2021.
