What’s coming in November:
Esme & Roy
Episode #12
Debut date: Saturday, Nov. 3 (9:30-10:00 a.m. ET/PT)
“Cloudy Comet Calamity”: Simon is visiting Monster Sitters’ HQ and brings his telescope so that he can see the Great Swoozle Comet fly across the sky when the time is right. But when he heads outside, he discovers large clouds blocking his view. The Monster Sitters look for a new vantage point and even try moving the clouds, but don’t have any luck. Will Simon ever get to see the Great Swoozle Comet?
“Training Day”: Today is Monster Sitter Training Day! Instead of watching little monsters, Esme and Roy are brushing up on their Monster-Sitting skills. But the challenges turn out to be harder than they expected, and they can’t seem to pass any of them. Have Esme and Roy lost their touch?
Episode #13
Debut date: Saturday, Nov. 10 (9:30-10:00 a.m.)
“Monster Mash”: Hugo, Tillie and Simon go to Monster Sitters’ HQ for a dance party. Every time Simon tries to dance like his friends, though, his arms start to wiggle and get in the way. But when Esme and Roy teach Simon a dance pattern to follow, he’s able to boogie down!
“Block Party”: Esme and Roy are watching Tillie. Mr. Plink tells them that Tillie needs to clean up her blocks in the backyard before she can play with her new truck, but she keeps getting distracted. Cleaning up blocks isn’t fun, and Tillie really wants to play with her new bulldozer. Can the Monster Sitters convince Tillie to clean up so that they can all play together?
Esme & Roy is also available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand and partners’ streaming portals.
