Sesamestreet.org and PBS Kids will host "Super Grover 2.0 Week" from February 21 to February 25, airing episodes that contain the segment each day, while the website spotlighted various Super Grover 2.0 clips and games.
Jason Weber of the Jim Henson Company's New York office designed the new outfit.[3] Although the segments have yet to air on Plaza Sésamo as of season 13, a costumed version of Super Grover 2.0 appears in the Parque Plaza Sesamo stage show, Gran Musical.
