It's hard to think of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and the rest of Charles Schulz's Peanuts gang and not smile. The heart-warming and hilarious comic-strip spanned 50 years and has included countless animated specials, toys, games, and even a feature-film – the franchise has clearly stood the test of time. The latest iteration of the Peanuts franchise has arrived with the latest trailer for The Snoopy Show, a new animated series destined for Apple TV+.
The six-episode series will debut on Apple's streaming service next week, and although Snoopy is clearly the featured player, you can expect all the regular Peanuts characters to make appearances as well. Additionally, each half-hour episode will actually consist of three animated shorts running around seven minutes long, so we'll have plenty of Snoopy adventures to savour. Apple has even more Peanuts content in the works, including a documentary celebrating the franchise's 70th anniversary and brand-new specials centering on Mother’s Day, Earth Day, New Year’s Eve, and Back to School. Good Grief.
The official synopsis for The Snoopy Show:
The Snoopy Show is a new animated series for kids and families that stars the internationally beloved beagle and his feathered best friend Woodstock as they tackle all new adventures. Snoopy may seem like just a happy-dancin’, bone-lovin’, doghouse-sittin’ pup, but he’s much more than that. He’s Joe Cool: hippest kid in school. He’s surfer king and famed arm-wrestler Masked Marvel. He’s World War I Flying Ace who battles the Red Baron. All of his bold, beloved personas are on full display in this brand-new animated comedy.
The Snoopy Show will debut on Apple TV+ on February 5, 2021.
