The twentieth season of Arthur began broadcast on PBS Kids in the United States on October 10, 2016,^[1] and finished on June 1, 2017. In this season, Oasis Animation took over animation from 9 Story Media Group.^[2]

In a cast shake-up, Christian Distefano has stepped into the role of D.W.'s voice actor, following Andrew Dayton's departure. Interestingly, Distefano is no stranger to the show, having previously lent his voice to the character of James in Seasons 18 and 19. Meanwhile, Jacob Ursomarzo has taken on the iconic role of Arthur, succeeding William Healy. Furthermore, the show has also welcomed Samuel Faraci and Devan Cohen, who will be voicing Timmy and Tommy Tibble, respectively, after the departures of Jacob Ewaniuk and Jake Sim.
