*For its 55th season, “Sesame Street” will have star-studded visitors that include Michael B. Jordan and SZA.

The duo will be on hand to interact with young ones during the upcoming season, which will kick off Jan. 16 on Max, with episodes releasing every Thursday, Vibe reports.

Emotional well-being will be the focus of season 55. Sesame Workshop, the global impact nonprofit behind “Sesame Street,” described the season as an opportunity for children to “learn accessible strategies to comprehend and cope with big feelings through fun, lighthearted, relatable, and engaging stories.

“New episodes of Sesame Street will help young viewers understand and express their feelings, learn new mindfulness practices, and as always, have a blast with their favorite furry and funny friends,” detailed “Sesame Street” executive producer Sal Perez detailed.

Perez continued: “Whether it’s taking a volcano breath when angry, learning to give yourself a hug when frustrated, or wiggling it out when disappointed, we are empowering children with the strategies to help build resiliency and the foundational skills for emotional well-being.”
