Peanuts fans rejoice! Apple TV+, the official streaming destination for all things Peanuts, today announced a new, untitled Peanuts feature film from WildBrain and Peanuts Worldwide, following Snoopy and Charlie Brown as they face their biggest challenge yet.

The screenplay is co-written by Karey Kirkpatrick, writer of such animated favorites as "Chicken Run," "Smallfoot" and "Over the Hedge," from an original story by co-writers Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz and Cornelius Uliano, the team that wrote the award winning "The Peanuts Movie".

The feature will be directed by two-time Annie Award nominee Steve Martino ("Horton Hears a Who," "Ice Age: Continental Drift"), director of the 2015 hit "The Peanuts Movie," and is produced by two-time Academy Award nominee Bonnie Arnold ("How to Train Your Dragon" franchise, "Toy Story," "Over the Hedge").
