It's the end of an era, as PBS Kids is preparing to say farewell to one of their longest-running and most iconic original series. Arthur will come to an end in winter 2022 after its four-episode 25th season, its executive producer has confirmed. The series, based on Marc Brown's book series that began in 1976, premiered on the public broadcaster in 1996. After Sesame Street's move to HBO and HBO Max in 2016, Arthur became the longest-running current PBS Kids original series. The educational series has been a staple of television over the years, becoming an important part of the pop culture lexicon. Rumors have swirled in recent years that the show was on its way out, but they remained unconfirmed until now.
