More Furchester Hotel for CBeebies

LONDON: CBeebies and Sesame Workshop are teaming up for additional episodes of The Furchester Hotel and a double-length Christmas special based on the show, which is a co-production between the two companies.

The 50×11-minute run will continue the adventures of a family of monsters who manage a hotel. It will feature special guests from Sesame Street, including Big Bird, Count Von Count and the Martians. The new episodes will begin production at MediaCityUK in May, and will include more music, creative problem-solving and physical comedy than ever.

Kay Benbow, controller for CBeebies, commented: “The partnership between CBeebies and Sesame Workshop is really special as we both share core values of producing fun, high quality, innovative programming for a younger audience that children love and parents trust. And I can’t wait to welcome Big Bird to Salford!”

“We’re so excited that The Furchester Hotel will be welcoming new guests on CBeebies for seasons three and four,” added Maura Regan, the senior VP and general manager of international media business at Sesame Workshop. “It’s a thrill to co-produce new entertaining and educational episodes of this furry and funny series that we know children around the world love.”
