Bo Burnham will contribute songs to the forthcoming live-action adaptation of Sesame Street, set to hit theaters in 2021, per Deadline.
The film will follow the Sesame Street gang as they are expelled from their neighborhood and wind up in Manhattan, where they meet the plucky host of a history show and help her prove that Sesame Street exists.
The Eighth Grade director (whose musical stylings are at the forefront of his two Netflix comedy specials) will be working alongside director Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia), producers Shawn Levy and Michael Aguilar, and writers Mike Rosolio and Chris Galletta to whip the film into shape.
