The twenty-second season of Arthur started airing on PBS Kids in the United States from May 13, 2019 to May 16, 2019. Jane Lynch guest starred on the episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone".[1] Roman Lutterotti replaced Jacob Ursomarzo as Arthur, Ethan Pugiotto replaced Christian Distefano as D.W., and Evan Blaylock replaced Max Friedman Cole as Brain.
On May 25, 2018, Bruce Dinsmore (the voice of Binky Barnes, Mr. Read, and Bailey) confirmed that he had recorded new episodes, saying, "we got lots more coming" and "there's some good surprises".[5] Dinsmore also revealed that there will be a guest star this season, who is "an actress everyone would know".[5][nb 1]
The first official announce of Season 22 came on June 4, 2018 when Oasis Animation confirmed that it would produce four more seasons of Arthur, up to Season 25.[7][8]
On November 16, 2018, Dinsmore announced on Twitter that he had recorded his "very last session" for Arthur.[3][nb 2] He later clarified that "he didn't intend to make an announcement of any kind", and that Arthur had "lots of new episodes coming".[9][nb 3]
Arthur and Buster play a Dark Bunny video game, and when the game breaks, both of them accuse each other of sabotage and break up. Meanwhile, the rest of their friends choose sides and split into "teams" even after Arthur and Buster get over the fight. Together with Binky, they hatch a plan to squash the feud between their classmates.
^This is specifically referring to the Arthur TV series. Dinsmore has subsequently voiced Binky Barnes in later Arthur-related content.
^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).
