The Furchester Hotel is a British-American puppet series for CBeebies (BBC's preschool network). It is a British spinoff of Sesame Street.

In February 2016, The Furchester Hotel was renewed for Season 2 which will begin production in May. It consists of 50 episodes and a double-length Christmas episode as well as guest appearances by Big Bird, Count von Count, and the Yip Yips. The second season began on October 31, 2016.

The Furchester Hotel is a half-star hotel that is owned by a monster family called the Furchester-Fuzz Family. The Furchester-Fuzz Family alongside Elmo and Cookie Monster figure out how to solve different issues that are developed by the guests of the Furchester Hotel.
The show opens with a different character's face shaped as the river and zooms down into where the hotel is and all the Furchester Family can be seen singing where they are joined in by Elmo and Cookie Monster. At the end, all the guests are singing with the Furchester Family and the Tea Time Monsters.
The Furchester Hotel will have 52 episodes span over two series and will premiere every weekday in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Director and his assistant Carol are visiting the Furchester Hotel to shoot a video to promote the establishment. During the filming, the Furchesters solve some problems along the way like the living arrangements for a penguin named Mrs. Iceberger and a lion named Mr. Mainbrie.
When the Furchester Hotel runs out of cookies, Cookie Monster is freaking out and a new guest named Mr. Crumb (who is a cookie) arrives. Can the Furchesters stop Cookie Monster from eating Mr. Crumb?
Funella welcomes the incoming guests with furry arms....until one guest named Pierce the Porcupine arrives.
