New Episodes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on the way

Brand-new episodes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, the top-rated animated series from Fred Rogers Productions and 9 Story Media Group, premiering on PBS KIDS the week of January 6. The new stories – including some winter fun in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe – feature gentle life lessons about family, finding out how to be fair, learning to say “sorry,” and more. Also incorporated are the series’ iconic musical strategies that reinforce the unique theme of each story.

In the first new episode, viewers will meet Jodi’s dad for the first time. In the story, Jodi, along with her little brothers Teddy and Leo, sleep at their father’s house and have a special time being together.

Here are screener links so you can check out the first two episodes and below are episode descriptions as well as adorable hi-res episodic images. Please let me know if you would like to speak with someone from Fred Rogers Productions, who can share what makes the series – and these new episodes – so special.
