Helpsters

Helpsters is an upcoming Sesame Street spinoff planned for Apple's new streaming video service, AppleTV+. The project was announced on March 25, 2019 at Apple's launch event, "It's Showtime", in Cupertino, CA. Big Bird appeared on stage at the event to introduce the show, along with Cody, a new Muppet character. The AppleTV+ service will launch in fall 2019.

Helpsters will be an educational show focused on helping kids to learn how to code. Cody explained, "Coding fosters collaboration, critical thinking skills, and is an essential language that every child can learn."

She continued, "By teaching preschoolers about coding, we're giving them the opportunity to change the world." Big Bird replied, "You're helping kids to grow up to be smarter, stronger and kinder," a reference to Sesame Workshop's Kindness initiative.
