HBO Max Renews The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo

HBO Max has greenlit The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo for a second season.

New episodes of the live-action preschool variety series will premiere this fall, exclusively on HBO Max. Cookie Monster will continue as Elmo’s co-host, with the rest of the Sesame Street Muppets pitching in as cast and crew.

“We’re thrilled to continue creating new Sesame Street adventures with HBO Max, giving children and families new ways to explore the neighborhood they love,” said Ed Wells, Sesame Workshop’s executive VP and head of global media and education. “This season of The Not-Too-Late Show is packed with all new ways to learn and play together; we can’t wait for kids and families to experience it.”

“Elmo is one of the most beloved characters in the world, and we are so lucky we get to hang out with him on HBO Max,” said Amy Friedman, head of kids and family programming at Warner Bros. “We think everyone, especially our preschool audience, will be delighted with this reimagined second season—it’s the ultimate family playdate.”
