The twenty-fifth and final season of Arthur aired on PBS Kids in the United States on February 21, 2022.[1] On July 27, 2021, executive producer Carol Greenwald announced that this would be the final season of Arthur for undisclosed reasons.[2][3][4]
During a job-shadowing day, Binky follows Bitzi at the Elwood City Times, and Harry Mills (from "Bitzi's Beau" and "Bitzi's Break Up") teaches him how to write boring stories in an exciting way that will capture the reader's interest.
George struggles to carry on conversations with adults, but makes a new friend with an equally-awkward older man when Mrs. Lundgren brings him to a party.
Muffy's attempts to console Francine after Bubby (from "Is That Kosher" and "Grandpa Dave's Memory Album") passes away, but fails to make her feel better. So George teaches Muffy how to be a good listener.
In the series' final segment, in an old section of the library, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Muffy stumble across a board game that predicts their future careers. However, the game gives vague answers and runs out of battery power before Arthur's future can be predicted. A patron at the library then recommends Arthur keep the book Ms. Turner accidentally gave him about how to draw animals. Twenty years later, Buster has become a college creative writing professor with Kate as a student; Francine runs a business for tennis shoes; Muffy is running for Mayor of Elwood City; George owns the Sugar Bowl, which he has repurposed as the Sugar Bowl Café; Binky works as a TV weatherman; Bud returns to Elwood City, only to be ticketed by D.W., now in the police force; and Arthur is about to publish his own graphic novel based on his childhood, telling the story of his first pair of glasses.
Note 1: Marc Brown, the creator of the Arthur franchise, voices the library patron who encourages Arthur to keep the animal drawing book.
Note 2: Michael Yarmush, the first person to voice Arthur from seasons 1-5, voices Arthur as an adult in the final scene.
