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. Slated to begin production in 2024 from WildBrain Studios, the new family film will see the Peanuts gang go on an epic adventure to the Big City, learning the true meaning of friendship, while meeting some surprising new friends along the way.

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").

"We are excited to be partnering with Apple TV+ and working with WildBrain Studios to bring audiences a brand-new Peanuts adventure, along with the talented Bonnie Arnold as producer and Steve Martino as director. Peanuts fans have been clamoring for another feature for years, and this film will bring joy to our millions of fans around the world."
