Production
editDevelopment
editFollowing the success of The Peanuts Movie (2015) produced by Blue Sky Studios, 20th Century Fox was reportedly interested in making a sequel and turning The Peanuts Movie into a franchise, although the company was only granted the rights to one Peanuts film. Charles M. Schulz's widow, Jean, indicated in November 2015 that a sequel was not imminent, stating, "This one took eight years, so maybe we'll talk again then."[1] In August 2023, Craig, Schulz's son and co-producer of the film, stated that another theatrical film was not "off the table".[2]
In November 2023, it was announced that a new Peanuts film was officially in development. The plot would revolve around Charlie Brown and his friends on an adventure to the Big City. While not a sequel to The Peanuts Movie, Steve Martino was set to return as director, with a script by Karey Kirkpatrick from an original story by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz and Cornelius Uliano; while Bonnie Arnold was set to serve as producer. The project is a joint-venture production between WildBrain Studios and Peanuts Worldwide and will be released exclusively on Apple TV+.[3]
