Episodes | 35 |
Sesame Streetβs 47th season debuted on January 7, 2017, on HBO, and September 18 on PBS.
Overview
The season continues the previous season's curriculum of "kindness," reflected in several street stories and a new "Kindness Cam" segment, where Elmo replays a clip from the show and kids act out the kindness element.
"Elmo's World" returns with 26, all-new episodes. Each five-minute segment features Elmo in a newly designed "world," still accompanied by Mr. Noodle (played once again by Bill Irwin) and his family, and Dorothy, but joined by Smartie, an animated smartphone.
The season introduces new Muppet character Julia, created to help increase awareness of those with autism. Julia, having been previously introduced in illustrated / animated form in We're Amazing, 1, 2, 3!, appears in two episodes this season. The season also introduces new character Rudy, Abby's new stepbrother.
The season also introduces new dance breaks for the letter and number of the day, starring Abby and Cookie Monster (respectively).
