Arthur may be leaving the TV screen, but PBS has a slate of digital spinoffs planned to keep the beloved children’s show around. The kids’ TV series will conclude its 25th and final season on February 21, and PBS is already preparing digital spinoffs to continue Arthur’s legacy, including a podcast, video shorts, and digital games. PBS is teaming up with Gen-Z Media for the podcast that will tie in Arthur’s library of stories, characters, moments, and new interactive Arthur games. Arthur is the longest-running children’s animated series in American TV history, and PBS’ plans to continue the show’s legacy signals how they’re adapting the kids’ content for a new generation.
