Plaza Sésamo[]
Plaza Sésamo is the first international co-productions of the American children's television program Sesame Street. Its first season premiered inMexico in 1972. With a multinational cast, it was later co-produced entirely by CTW and the Mexican television network. Currently the program is developed by Sesame Workshop (formerly CTW) and Televisa. The last season ended in2018 during the holiday season and the 50th anniversary of Sesame Street, and was immediately a ratings hit. It also aired throughout Latin America, to a potential audience of 25 million children in 34 countries. Unlike some of the earliest co-productions, which consisted of dubbed versions of Sesame Street with local language voice-overs, was a true co-production. Half of the show was adapted from the American show, and half was original material, created in Mexico by Mexican writers, performers, and producers.
In2016, Plaza Sésamo changes into simply Sésamo. Three seasons have been produced as of December2017, with a total of 65 episodes.
