Donkey Hodie is an American puppet live action musical preschool 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 reimagined as puppets.[5]

The Show's title is a wordplay for Don Quixote.

The characters of Duck Duck, Clyde the Cloud, Game Show Gator, Stanley the Dragon, Super Porcupine, Turtle Lou, Dodie Hodie and Cousin Hodie are new characters created for the Donkey Hodie series.[6]
