The nineteenth season of the beloved television series Arthur consists of 10 episodes, initially broadcast on CBBC in the UK in early 2015 and later airing on PBS Kids in the US from June 2, 2015, to May 26, 2016. Notably, this season marks a significant transition, as it was produced alongside the eighteenth season in 2013 and is the last to be animated by 9 Story Media Group using Adobe Flash. Starting with the next season, Oasis Animation will take over, By using Toon Boom Harmony for flash animation. Furthermore, this season bids farewell to the voice talents of William Healy as Arthur, Andrew Dayton as D.W., and Jacob Ewaniuk and Jake Sim as the Tibble Twins. Additionally, the character Mr. Haney makes his exit after the episode "Brain Sees Stars," following the death of Walter Massey in 2014, with his appearances reduced to background cameos before his eventual departure in season 20.
