Sesame Street's 48th season premiered on HBO on November 18, 2017, and premiered on August 6, 2018 on PBS. The season was preceded the week prior with the prime-time special, The Magical Wand Chase.

Overview

The season continues applying its kindness curriculum to new material, as this season adds a focus on celebrating diversity. The season features special guest appearances by international Sesame Street characters Chamki (from Galli Galli Sim Sim), Lily (from Zhima Jie: Da Niao Kan Shijie) and Zuzu (from Takalani Sesame).

The season introduces a new segment starring Cookie Monster, "Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck." Aided by Gonger of The Furchester Hotel, the five-minute segments introduce the origins of certain food items as the monsters cook up orders in their food truck.

Starting this season, Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson perform Big Bird and Oscar's voices respectively in new material, though Caroll Spinney still receives on-screen credit. This is also the last season to feature Billy Barkhurst as Ernie, with Peter Linz having taken over the role mid-2017.
