TV simply takes too long to make nowadays. Ballooning “blockbuster” per-episode costs coupled with fewer episodes and a lack of sustained studio contracts means audiences have to wait multiple years between seasons. Even if a show shoots entirely on a state-of-the-art virtual soundstage we don’t get consistent yearly programming.

And it’s Nerdist‘s pleasure to exclusively reveal more information about the upcoming series AND showcase its awesome covers.

The denizens of Sesame Street have been entertaining fans for generations. You’d think after all that time they’ve run out of ways to make us laugh.
