Overview
- A five-year extension with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions keeps the full classic library on Apple TV+ through 2030.
- Apple confirms new Peanuts series and specials are in development, alongside an animated feature film currently in production first announced in 2023.
- Non‑subscribers can stream three holiday specials for free on set weekends in 2025: Great Pumpkin (Oct. 18–19), Thanksgiving (Nov. 15–16) and Christmas (Dec. 13–14).
- Apple’s Peanuts collaboration began in 2018 with originals and expanded in 2020 when Apple TV+ became the exclusive home for the classic catalog.
- The brief free windows continue after criticism from some fans over the specials no longer airing on over‑the‑air television.
