Running time: 25 minute episodes (6 total)
Starring: Isaac Arellanes, Amadi Chapata, Hannah Levinson, Justin Sanchez

In Season Two of "Helpsters," premiering Friday, October 16, preschoolers continue to explore the power of teamwork as puppets Cody, Scatter, Mr. Primm and Heart join a cadre of new celebrity and musical guests to solve problems. The Helpsters approach any challenge – from party-planning to magic trick mastery, and even mountain-climbing – with a can-do attitude, because everything starts with a plan. 

Season 2 of Helpsters continues the popular series format from the first season.  The Helpsters love helping people, and celebrity guests will come in with problems that need solving.  The Helpsters come up with a cute plan to solve the problem, teaching planning, problem-solving, and creative thinking.  And it has this warm, happy mentality that is reminiscent of Sesame Street but with a more problem oriented mentality.  The guest stars really make this a great show, as it makes every episode feel fun and different.  In season 2, the guest stars expand to include Terry Crews, Danny Trejo, Gabby Douglas, Christopher Meloni, Richard Kind, Michael Ian Black, Janeane Garofalo, Michelle Buteau, and Judah Friedlander.  

The Helpsters always end every 25 minute block with a musical guest, who makes up a fun song using acapella singing from the Helpsters monsters.  This is an especially fun part as the songs are creative, as are the musical effects that the Helpsters create to accompany the lyrics.  Season 2 includes Talib Kweli, Matt Berninger, Jason Mraz, K. Flay, Norah Jones, and Ingrid Michaelson.  And most importantly for all involved, Helpsters season 2 is just as entertaining as last season.  In a time when more parents and kids are spending even more time together at home, having something to entertain the kids while teaching them important lessons is invaluable.  And sometimes solving the problem of what to do with your kids for 30 minutes is a great accomplishment unto itself!  

Helpsters Season 2 continues the great format of Season 1 with more celebrity guests, musical guests, helpful plans, and important lessons for kids and adults to enjoy.
