Production and announcements
On March 28, 2018, Jessica Kardos (voice of Sue Ellen) stated on Twitter that she and Holly Gauthier Frankel (voice of Fern) were recording new episodes of Arthur.[2] New episodes were still being recorded as late as November 2018.[5][6]
On May 25, 2018, Bruce Dinsmore (voice of Binky, Mr. Read, and Bailey) confirmed that he had also recorded new episodes, saying: "we've got lots more coming"[7] and "there's some good surprises."[8] Dinsmore also revealed that there will be a guest star this season, who is "an actress that everyone would know."[9] (This was later revealed to be Jane Lynch.)[10]
The first official announcement came on June 4, 2018, when Oasis Animation confirmed that it would produce four more seasons, up to Season 25.[3][11]
On November 16, 2018, Dinsmore announced that he had recorded his "very last session" for Arthur.[5][note 1] He later clarified that he "didn’t intend to make an announcement of any kind," and that Arthur had "lots of new episodes coming."[12] This is true, since the final four seasons were recorded together, the voice work for this season would have coincided with the voice work for Season 23, 24 and 25, the final season.
The season has a total of four half-hour episodes instead of seven.
