Doc McStuffins Renewed for Season 5

Disney Junior has ordered a fifth season of its beloved and critically acclaimed series "Doc McStuffins," which will bring more stories of Doc, a girl who aspires to be a doctor just like her mom. S05 will premiere in 2018.

The renewal is likely to assuage fans who took to social media this past summer wondering why a fifth season for the program had not been announced, even though the series at the time was in the middle of its fourth cycle. W. Kamau Bell, the comedian, activist and CNN host, helped intensify speculation about the fate of the program when he took to Twitter and asked similar questions, sparking a grateful reaction from Chris Nee, the program’s creator.

Doc McStuffins” won a Peabody Award in 2015 and NAACP Image Awards in 2015 and 2016 in the  “Outstanding Children’s Program” category

New stories, new characters, notable guest stars set in a magical, new world — McStuffins Toy Hospital — mark season four of Disney Junior’s award-winning animated series “Doc McStuffins,” premiering FRIDAY, JULY 29, on Disney Junior (9:00-10:00 a.m. EDT) and  Friday, July 22, on the Disney Junior App. On Saturday, August 6, the first-ever museum exhibit dedicated to “Doc McStuffins” will open at the world’s largest children’s museum, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The interactive experience, inviting kids and families to explore and learn about healthy habits, compassion and nurturing care, will travel to other venues across the country beginning in 2017.

"We'll be delivering more 'Doc McStuffins' episodes, beloved characters and great stories, for a long time to come! We're in the midst of production on season four which introduces a new setting, 'McStuffins Toy Hospital,' new music and new characters in addition to Doc, Stuffy, Lambie, Hallie and other established, popular characters. A touring children's museum exhibit launches at the Indianapolis Children's Museum in August."

We have a long term content plan in place and are in production on season four which will deliver new episodes through late 2017/early 2018, bringing us to a total of 120 episodes. We will make a determination about going beyond this number of episodes at the appropriate time during the production process."

I love Doc McStuffins. My six year old son loves his pink doctor set and I love that he wants it pink like Doc on TV! That's not even the point of the article, just another wonderful side effect of the show. Keep it on the air Disney! This is one of the few shows I want my son watching!

I was about to hop on the #renewdocmcstuffins bandwagon but I felt I needed to do some research into this first. It would seem that while Doc McStuffins, as we know it is ending, a new Doc McStuffins show is about to air. So everyone, stop freaking out! We're safe! However I still wanted to share some thoughts on why the thought of this show ending upset me so much. Doc is a great role model for little girls and especially little girls of color (and sadly there aren't very many in children's media), but I don't think people realize that she's a great role model for little boys too. Doc shows all kids that girls are smart, capable, compassionate, motivated, and do not need to obsess over hair, makeup, and clothes to be awesome. She shows her audience that their possibilities are only limited by their imagination. I love when my boys watch shows with strong female leads because there are so many images out there that belittle and demean women--in particular women of colour and ESPECIALLY black women. I want my boys to grow up into respectful gentlemen who treat all women as equals and do not judge them based on the negative images our society puts out on a daily basis. I can do my best to teach them, but the fact is they learn more about how to be men from the world around them than from me or even my husband. Positive role models like Doc McStuffins are ESSENTIAL in teaching them the power of #blackgirlmagic and that women are to be appreciated for more than just their looks. Thanks #disneyjr for recognizing that and not making the terrible mistake of eliminating our beloved Doc. I look forward to the day where our media is as diverse as our real world and the thought of a children's show with a non-white lead character is met with simple sadness instead of a feeling of utter loss and crisis. #Disney please continue to do your part in making that happen.

Doc McStuffins is a vital cartoon. The show teaches children about germs, personal hygiene, manners, friendship, and even asthma. My niece loves the show and the books. We also bought her the Doc jacket, medkit, microphone, Activity Ride-On, and other various toys. She loves all of them, and we use each of the toys to teach her something different. Here's to hoping that Doc has many more seasons to come because this little animated girl is a positive icon for black children, girls, and boys alike. #RenewDocMcStuffins #RepresentationMatters #DisneyJunior #DocMcStuffins #Books #Disney
