Apple TV: A big peanuts package for the summer Apfelpatient

Apple TV will bring a comprehensive Peanuts package to its streaming service in the summer of 2026. It kicks off with the second season of Camp Snoopy on June 26, followed by two classic episodes streaming for the first time, and a brand-new special at the end of July.

Apple TV is going all in on Peanuts this summer. Between late June and late July, four new Peanuts titles will be released – including a second season of Camp Snoopy, two streaming premieres from the classic Mendelson/Melendez catalog, and a brand-new Snoopy Presents special. This programming push is part of an extended partnership with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide, and Lee Mendelson Film Productions, running through 2030. This ensures that Apple TV remains the exclusive streaming home for Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the entire Peanuts gang, further expanding the family-friendly content that already defines the entire summer 2026 lineup.

Camp Snoopy returns on June 26th.

The second season of the hit musical show Camp Snoopy kicks off on Friday, June 26th. Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts return to the natural setting of Camp Spring Lake, along with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. On the agenda are hikes, swimming trips, the search for the rare Hedge Toad, sandcastle building, and the ever-important debate between hot dogs and hamburgers.

Paige Braddock, Chris Bracco, Rob Boutilier, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, and Logan McPherson serve as executive producers. The first season was nominated for several awards, and the musical concept and character development are among the hallmarks of Apple Originals from the Peanuts universe.

This Is America, Charlie Brown – Classics available for streaming for the first time

On Friday, July 3, streaming fans will experience a true premiere with "This Is America, Charlie Brown." The 1988 miniseries from Mendelson/Melendez Productions is considered the first animated miniseries in television history and is available on Apple TV for the first time. In the episodes, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang experience pivotal moments in American history and culture – including "The Birth of the Constitution," "The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk," and "The Great Inventors."

For an American audience, this is essential viewing for Independence Day, which falls just one day later. For German fans, the miniseries offers an unusual perspective on the Peanuts franchise, going beyond the typical everyday stories.

The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show is being streamed

A week later, on July 10th, the next classic, "The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show," will be available exclusively on streaming services. The series originally ran from 1983 to 1986 and comprises 18 episodes that adapt classic storylines from Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip.

The focus is on the everyday dramas of the Peanuts gang: Charlie Brown's recurring defeats, Snoopy's wild daydreams, and the typical blend of humor and melancholic depth that made Schulz so distinctive. This series, too, was previously unavailable via regular streaming – but that changes with its Apple TV premiere.

Snoopy's new adventure on July 31st

The grand finale of the summer programming package is the new special "Snoopy Presents: There's No Place Like Home, Snoopy" on Friday, July 31st. The plot: Snoopy's beloved doghouse is accidentally sold at a garage sale. Charlie Brown embarks on a journey with Snoopy to find the old house – and along the way, they both discover what truly makes a home.

The voice cast is impressive: Riley Vargas, Terry McGurrin, Rob Tinkler, Kitai O'Garro, Josephine Nisbett, Grace Nicolaou-Wood, Jo-Hannah Atchinson, Lexi Perri, Athan Giazitzidis, and Diego Whalen are all on board. Executive producers are Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, Logan McPherson, Paige Braddock, Chris Bracco, and Mark Evestaff.

A partnership that runs until 2030

Apple TV has been the home of the classic Peanuts catalog since 2020. The collaboration with WildBrain and Peanuts Worldwide, which began in 2018, has now been extended through 2030. In the meantime, a whole host of Apple Originals have been created – including the Emmy and Annie Award-nominated productions "Snoopy in Space" and "The Snoopy Show," the first season of "Camp Snoopy," the Snoopy Presents series with specials such as "It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown" and "Welcome Home, Franklin," the Annie Award-winning production "Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical," and two Emmy Award-winning documentaries.

In parallel, Apple and WildBrain are working on a completely new feature-length animated film: "Snoopy Unleashed." The plot takes Snoopy on an unusual journey – he runs away from home, prompting Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang to search for him in the "Big City," whereupon they learn the meaning of true friendship. A release date has not yet been set.

What the programming offensive means for Apple TV

The Peanuts comics are a strategic anchor for Apple TV. Family-oriented content is fiercely competitive in the streaming market, and with the exclusivity agreement extended until 2030, Apple secures one of the most recognizable brands in animation history for the long term. This makes Apple TV particularly attractive to parents who value age-appropriate, high-quality content.

Four new Peanuts titles in five weeks is an unusually rapid release schedule – and a clear signal that Apple TV is taking summer seriously as one of the most important streaming periods of the year.
