Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (known as Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Ireland, Hong Kong and other countries, and often abbreviated to Daniel Tiger and Le Village de Dany in France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other French-speaking countries), is an animated musical television series aimed at preschool children aged 2–5. It was created by Angela C. Santomero (who also created Blue's Clues and Super Why!) and produced by Fred Rogers Productions, 9 Story Media Group, and 9 Story USA (formerly Out of the Blue Enterprises). The series debuted on September 3, 2012 on PBS Kids, eleven years after Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ended and nine years after Fred Rogers' death. [4]
It is based on the Neighborhood of Make-Believe from Mister Rogers, the family-oriented television series created and hosted by Rogers that aired from 1968 to 2001. In 2019, the series was renewed for a fifth season, which premiered on August 17, 2020 with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Won't You Sing Along with Me?, a musical special that dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] On August 20, 2021, the series was renewed for a sixth season, which premiered on September 5, 2022.[7] A one-hour television movie, Daniel Visits a New Neighborhood, aired on June 20, 2022.[8]
