Apple TV+ Nabs Rights for Classic Charlie Brown Holiday Specials and New Series

Beloved films will have limited free windows for non-subscribers

Good grief—classic Peanuts specials are leaving broadcast television and moving to Apple TV+ just in time for the holidays.   

A deal between Apple TV+ and media company WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions will make the subscription streaming service the home for the classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas. These have previously aired on broadcast television, yielding considerable ratings.

The Peanuts gang’s Halloween special will begin streaming on the platform today and will be available for free to non-subscribers from Oct.
