HBO Max Debuts Three-Part Charlotte’s Web From Sesame Workshop

The Sesame Workshop production expands the novel into three 46-minute episodes under showrunner Luke Matheny.

Overview

  • All three episodes are now streaming on HBO Max following the October 2 premiere.
  • Amy Adams voices Charlotte with Elijah Wood and Griffin Robert Faulkner sharing Wilbur, as Jean Smart narrates and Randall Park plays Templeton.
  • The adaptation is directed by Yurie Rocha with CG animation by Toronto-based Guru Studios.
  • Matheny developed the project in consultation with the E. B. White estate, receiving notes from the author’s granddaughter, Martha.
  • Early reviews, including The Hollywood Reporter, praise the story’s inherent poignancy but fault the CG look, some performances, and added subplots.
