PBS Kids premieres “Donkey Hode,” a children’s series for children ages 3-5 created by Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures. “Donkey Hodie” is slated to premiere nationwide on PBS stations, the PBS KIDS 24/7 channel and PBS KIDS digital platforms in winter 2021.
The imaginative puppet series follows the adventures of Donkey Hodie, the granddaughter of the original Donkey Hodie character (now known as “Grampy Hodie”), a puppet from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” who appeared in 59 episodes of the beloved classic children’s show from 1968-1993. The new multiplatform show is filmed at WTTW, the flagship PBS station in Chicago.
