Peanuts Classics and new Snoopy film coming to Apple TV

Apple TV has shared the upcoming slate of Peanuts content, including a new special “There’s No Place Like Home, Snoopy” and a feature-length film “Snoopy Unleashed” alongside more classic releases.

Apple TV announced on May 19 that “Camp Snoopy” will return for a second season on June 26, followed by a new special, “Snoopy Presents: There’s No Place Like Home, Snoopy,” on July 31. The service is also bringing “This Is America, Charlie Brown” and “The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show” to Apple TV for the first time in July.

The Peanuts brand has slowly made Apple TV the modern home for Snoopy and the gang. Apple repeated that its expanded partnership with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide, and Lee Mendelson Film Productions runs through 2030.

Even though Apple TV has focused on exclusives and original content since its inception, a few established series and brands have made their way onto the service. The Peanuts are the most prominent example, but there’s also “Fraggle Rock” and “Long Way Up.”

Apple keeps expanding Peanuts beyond nostalgia programming

Much of Apple’s early Peanuts push focused on bringing the holiday specials to the platform and a few new original specials. The latest slate shows the company moving deeper into franchise-building with returning series, library expansion, and new film development happening simultaneously.

“Camp Snoopy” season two follows Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts at Camp Spring Lake. The new July special centers on Snoopy trying to recover his accidentally sold doghouse.

Apple is also adding two older Peanuts productions that have been less visible on streaming platforms in recent years. “This Is America, Charlie Brown,” originally released in 1988, mixes Peanuts characters with episodes focused on American history and culture.

“The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show,” which originally aired from 1983 through 1986, adapts classic Charles M. Schulz comic strip storylines. Its 18 episodes from the classic series that will help increase Apple’s catalog just a little bit more.

Apple also shared that “Snoopy Unleashed” is a feature-length film coming soon. It follows Snoopy after he runs away from home, sending Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang into a large city to search for him.

Streaming services are now battling it out with recognizable intellectual properties rather than just offering a vast library of content. Disney leans on Marvel and Star Wars, Netflix pours money into its established franchises, while Apple struggles with fewer major existing brands beyond Peanuts.

Unlike many streaming exclusives, Peanuts also aligns closely with Apple’s family-friendly image. The franchise carries decades of cultural familiarity without the licensing complications or tonal risks tied to larger blockbuster properties.

Apple TV currently costs $12.99 per month in the United States and is available through the Apple TV app across Apple devices, smart TVs, game consoles, Roku, Fire TV, and web browsers.
