PBS Kids has announced the renewal of Donkey Hodie for a third season, set to premiere in 2025. The puppetry series, produced by Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures, first aired in 2021 and draws inspiration from the whimsical and humorous elements of Fred Rogers' work. The show features reimagined characters from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, including Donkey Hodie, Purple Panda, Duck Duck, and Bob Dog, as they embark on adventures in the fantastical land of Someplace Else.
The upcoming season will consist of 15 new episodes, including two half-hour specials and additional digital content. Notably, a special crossover episode will bring together characters from Donkey Hodie and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for the first time. The crossover will see Daniel Tiger and Dad Tiger transformed into puppets, transitioning from animation to live-action as they journey aboard Trolley to visit Donkey Hodie and her friends.
