About The Magic School Bus

The Magic School Bus ran four thirteen-episode seasons from 1994 on PBS, with Ms. Frizzle driving field trips inside the human body, the solar system and deep time. Each episode pairs a science topic with a licensed book tie-in.

Rides Again revived the bus on Netflix from 2017 with Fiona Frizzle and two seasons plus specials through 2020, ending on DVD with Goldstealer in 2021. A preschool spinoff called Mighty Explorers is announced with no date, plus a live-action hybrid film in development. The show is episodic, so release order is the tour.

Good to know

Every episode stands alone by science topic, so release order is simply the tidiest path through fifty-two originals and thirty revival episodes. Watch the 1994 run first, then Rides Again with its specials in Netflix order. Goldstealer was produced earlier but released last on DVD, so it closes the list. The Mighty Explorers spinoff and the Elizabeth Banks film have no dates yet.
