Get ready for some space exploration with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the Peanuts gang!
The gang of beloved rag-tag characters is together again and is coming to Apple after the company inked a deal with DHX Media to produce new Peanuts content.
According to multiple outlets, Apple has acquired the rights to Charles Schulz’s beloved comic strip characters. DHX Media and Apple will develop and produce original programs, including new series, specials, and shorts based on the characters created by Schulz.
Schulz first introduced the Peanuts characters in 1950, when the Peanuts comic strip debuted in seven newspapers.
Part of this new content produced for the company is bringing astronaut Snoopy to the screen in the hopes of getting kids into space exploration. According to Deadline, one of the projects under the deal is original short-form STEM content. Peanuts Worldwide and NASA recently signed a Space Act Agreement, designed to inspire a passion for space exploration and STEM among the next generation of students.
Apple announced back in August that they will be spending a whopping $1 billion on original programming. It is unknown how it will distribute the original content and when it will launch.
