Donkey Hodie is an American puppet live action musical children's television series created by David and Adam Rudman for PBS Kids, and is aimed at preschoolers ages 3 to 5. Inspired by characters created by Fred Rogers, the series premiered May 3, 2021,[1] and is the second spinoff of Rogers' television series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood after Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.[2] The first full episode was initially set to premiere in winter 2021 on PBS Kids in the United States, but it was pushed back to May 3 of the same year. Sometimes, television airings are followed up by a series of shorts: "Super Why's Comic Book Adventures", "Tiny Time Travel", "Through the Woods", "What Can You Become?", and "Elinor Wonders Why: That's So Interesting!".
On April 7, 2022, it was announced that Donkey Hodie was renewed for a second season which was slated to premiere in spring 2023 but was delayed to August 14, 2023.[3][4]
On August 14, 2024, it was announced that Donkey Hodie was renewed for a third season. Season 3 will premiere in 2025 and will have a crossover with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, with the Tiger characters re-imagined as puppets.[5]
The series' title is a wordplay for Don Quixote.
