About Peanuts
Peanuts on screen began with A Charlie Brown Christmas on December 9, 1965, and grew into more than 50 network specials, five theatrical features and a run of series that continues on Apple TV. This guide groups the classic specials by era, lists the films and series in release order, and ends with the current Apple TV originals.
Good to know
The classic specials are standalone, so the era blocks can be watched in any order after the big three holiday specials. Apple TV confirmed a new animated feature, Snoopy Unleashed, is in production for release in 2027, with no exact date set yet.
