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 (actor)|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.
The 20th season of ''[[Arthur (TV series)|Arthur]]'' began broadcast on PBS in the United States on October 10, 2016, and finished on June 1, 2017. In this season, Oasis Animation took over animation from [[9 Story Media Group]], and reduced the amount of episodes to 7 instead of the usual 10. This is the shortest season of the series, lacking the usual amount of 10 episodes that has been the amount of episodes in every season since [[Arthur (season 4)|season 4]].

Christian Distefano is the new voice of D.W., replacing Andrew Dayton. Distefano was previously the voice of James in Seasons 18 and 19. Jacob Ursomarzo replaced [[William Healy (actor)|William Healy]] as Arthur, and Samuel Faraci and Devan Cohen replaced [[Jacob Ewaniuk]] and Jake Sim as Timmy and Tommy Tibble.
