The 9th season of the television series Arthur was originally broadcast on PBS in the United States from December 20, 2004 to April 8, 2005 and contains 10 episodes. Cameron Ansell replaced Mark Rendall as the voice of Arthur, Jessica Kardos replaced Patricia Rodriguez as the voice of Sue Ellen Armstrong, and Paul-Stuart Brown replaced Alex Hood as Brain.
