Charlie Brown and Snoopy will head to the Big City in a streaming original movie set to begin production in 2024
AppleTV+ is adding to its treasure chest of “Peanuts” content with a new movie from WildBrain and Peanuts Worldwide. The untitled feature, set to begin production in 2024, will send Charlie Brown and Snoopy to the Big City. Expect new friends, adventures and some lessons about the true meaning of friendship.
Karey Kirkpatrick (“Chicken Run,” “Smallfoot” and “Over the Hedge”) is co-writing the feature from an original story from Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz and Cornelius Uliano.
That trio wrote the previous “The Peanuts Movie,” which earned $246 million worldwide in theaters. Two-time Annie Award nominee Steve Martino (“Horton Hears a Who,” “Ice Age: Continental Drift”), director of the 2015 “Peanuts” film, will helm this latest offering. Two-time Academy Award nominee Bonnie Arnold (“How to Train Your Dragon” franchise, “Toy Story,” “Over the Hedge”) will produce.
“Fans of all ages have been enamored with Peanuts on Apple TV+,” said Apple head of children’s programming Tara Sorensen.
