The final new episodes of the PBS Kids animated series “Arthur” will air early next year, bringing the show to a close after an unprecedented 25-season run.
Executive producer Carol Greenwald confirmed the show’s cancellation in a statement obtained by USA TODAY.
“ Arthur is the longest-running kids animated series in history and is known for teaching kindness, empathy and inclusion through many groundbreaking moments to generations of viewers,” Greenwald said in the statement. “In the winter of 2022, the 25th and final season of Arthur will debut. Arthur will continue to be available on PBS KIDS for years to come.”
