About the show

Curious George is an American children's animated television series based on the children's book series of the same name for PBS Kids and a sequel series to the 2006 animated film Curious George. Frank Welker reprises his role as the titular character from the film, while Jeff Bennett co-stars as the voice of "The Man with the Yellow Hat" (whose name is revealed in the film to be Ted Shackelford), replacing Will Ferrell. The show premiered on PBS Kids on September 4, 2006, around seven months after the film's release, and originally ended after nine seasons on April 1, 2015, before returning in 2018. Later seasons were released on Peacock, and the series concluded again on March 17, 2022 after a total of 15 seasons. This is the second animated series from Imagine Entertainment, following 1999's The PJs.

Season 10 premiered on September 3, 2018 on Family Jr. in Canada. Seasons 10–13 debuted on NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock in the United States when it launched in July 2020. Seasons 1–9 were available to stream for Peacock Premium subscribers from September 20, 2020, to September 30, 2026, and are also available to stream on Hulu. Season 10 premiered on PBS on October 5 the same year.

Curious George is a production of Universal 1440 Entertainment (Universal Studios Family Productions before 2013), Imagine Entertainment, and WGBH-TV (WGBH Kids) (before season 13), and animation production by Toon City in some seasons. From seasons 1–9, each episode has two animated segments per half hour episode, and a short live-action segment after each. The live-action shorts illustrate and explain various STEM concepts, and shows a class with kids engaging in experiments that demonstrate a concept within the previous episode's script. After the ninth season, the STEM featurettes were phased out.
