Longtime children’s TV show “Arthur” has been canceled after 25 years on PBS Kids.
“In the winter of 2022, the 25th and final season of ‘Arthur’ will debut,” EP Carol Greenwald told
IGN on Tuesday. “‘Arthur’ will continue to be available on PBS KIDS for years to come. Producer GBH and PBS KIDS are continuing to work together on additional Arthur content, sharing the lessons of Arthur and his friends in new ways.”
According to
TVLine, “Arthur” first premiered in 1996 and has aired more than 240 episodes, becoming the longest-running children’s animated series in U.S. television history, and the second longest-running cartoon behind “The Simpsons.” The show, which aimed at children ages 4-8, has multiple generations of fans and screenshots often circulate on social media as memes.
