‘Arthur’ To End At PBS Kids After Season 25

, the longest-running children’s animated series in the history of American television, is set to end with its 25th season.Kids with its final season debuting in the winter of 2022.

The news emerged from an interview with Kathy Waugh, who originally developed the show from the books by Marc Brown, on the Finding DW podcast with Jason Szwimer. “Arthur is no longer in production. We had our wrap party two years ago,” Waugh told Szwimer. “I think [PBS] made a mistake, and I think should come back and I’m know I’m not alone in thinking they made a mistake. I don’t know if it was a ratings issue or if it felt like it needed to be retired. To me, it felt evergreen, like it was never going to end but it did end, we finished the last episode, season 25 two years ago.

Over the years, Arthur has examined numerous social issues. It most recently drew headlines with a 2019 episode, which examined the same-sex marriage between third-grade teacher Mr. Ratburn and Patrick the chocolatier. That episode, titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone”, was boycotted by Alabama Public Television.

It’s crazy to think how long this show has been on for, I used to watch as a kid (and I’m in my early 30s now!) Did anyone read the article- apparently Season 25 wrapped 2 YEARS AGO? It’s not even expected to air until Winter 2022 😮

pretty good run 😂

I remember growing up I used to come home from school and loved watching Arthur & Wishbone on PBS. Sad.

I see his past has finally caught up with him.

Wooooow

Nooooooo
