The
new extension — building on a partnership between WildBrain,
Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions — includes
the classic “Peanuts” library, as well as plans for more new
original series and specials.
Apple TV+ obtained the exclusive rights to the “Peanuts” catalog
in 2020, including the widely beloved “A Charlie Brown
Christmas,” a holiday staple.
Continuing a holiday tradition, Apple TV+ will offer
non-subscribers the chance to stream longtime favorites for
free, including “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (Oct. 18
and Oct. 19) “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” (Nov. 15 and Nov.
16) and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (Dec. 13 and Dec. 14).
“These beloved characters and stories hold a timeless
significance, resonating with people of all ages across the
globe. And we are delighted that the iconic holiday specials
will be available for everyone to experience, continuing this
time-honored, comforting tradition,” Tara Sorensen, head of
children’s programming at Apple TV+, said in a statement.
An ever-increasing “Peanuts” library is available on the
streamer's platform, including “Snoopy in Space” shorts, The
Snoopy Show” “Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin,” “Snoopy
Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie” and “Camp Snoopy.” The first
“Peanuts” musical in 35 years — “Snoopy Presents: A Summer
Musical,” which premiered this summer — is also available.
“Peanuts” made its debut Oct. 2, 1950. The travails of the
“little round-headed kid” Charlie Brown and his pals eventually
ran in more than 2,600 newspapers, reaching millions of readers
in 75 countries.
