NEW YORK (AP) — The upcoming season of “Sesame Street” features an octopus as a chef, an exploration of American Sign Language and Quinta Brunson giving Cookie Monster a little bit of attitude. The 54th season of the iconic children’s show debuts Nov. 9 on MAX with a gentle satire of Brunson’s hit mockumentary “Abbott Elementary,” mimicking that show’s single-camera style and confessional cut-aways. Brunson joins other celebrities during the season like Ariana DeBose, Brandi Carlile, Eugene Cordero, Dan Levy and Kal Penn. Other highlights include Elmo celebrating Alphabet Day by highlighting American Sign Language.
