APPLE TO REVIVE PEANUTS GANG

Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts crew will have a new home on Apple’s streaming service. Apple has struck a deal with Halifax-based DHX Media Ltd. to produce new Peanuts content. The global children’s content and brands company will develop and produce original programs for Apple including new series, specials and shorts based on the beloved characters. Peanuts was created by Charles M. Schulz in 1950. DHX, the largest independent owner of children’s television in the industry, will produce original short-form STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) content that will be exclusive to Apple, including astronaut Snoopy. Peanuts Worldwide and NASA have recently signed a Space Act Agreement, designed to inspire a passion for space exploration and STEM among the next generation of students.
