The Peanuts gang is coming back for the holidays.
After the Charlie Brown holiday specials were pulled from broadcast TV in 2020, they are coming back.
Not only are they coming back, a new special will be entering the mix. "For Auld Lang Syne" is coming to Apple TV+ on December 10. It will revolve around how the Peanuts gang is disappointed to learn Charlie Brown's grandmother can't visit for New Year's Eve.
Last year, Apple TV+ became the exclusive home to Peanuts, meaning that the holiday specials wouldn't be aired on broadcast TV for the first time in decades. But then Apple reversed course after public backlash, and made a deal to show "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on PBS.
The specials will be broadcast on PBS again this year.
"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" will air on PBS and PBS Kids on Sunday October 24th at 7:30 PM ET.
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" will air on PBS and PBS Kids on Sunday, November 21st at 7:30 PM ET.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" will air on PBS and PBS Kids on Sunday, December 19th at 7:30 PM ET.
