Sesame Street is coming to the big screen with producer Shawn Levy (Arrival, Stranger Things). Levy has plans to develop the beloved children’s show into a film at Warner Bros. Levy expressed his excitement to ScreenRant about the project.
“Sesame Street is at Warner Bros and we are right now working on a treatment for what I think is going to be a really imaginative and entertaining take on that beloved and decades-old global brand. The trick there is to honour these characters that are beloved, but in a movie that feels entertaining for the kids who we might bring to the movie – and humorous for those parents who bring their kids. It’s early – we’re still at the treatment stage, but very bullish on that.”
Sesame Street has been on the air for 46 years, first at PBS and recently on HBO.
