IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN WON’T BE ON TV THIS YEAR!

As we get deep into spooky season, you may be starting to wonder when The Great Pumpkin will be on! In 2020, Apple acquired the rights to It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and last year partnered with PBS to broadcast the special for us all to enjoy. Sadly, that won’t be the case this year. PBS Kids confirmed this a few weeks ago:

Regretfully, PBS does not have the rights to distribute the Peanuts specials this year. We’ll all have to watch for the Great Pumpkin in a different pumpkin patch this Halloween.

BUT, if you have access to the internet, or a decent data plan, you can still catch the Peanuts gang in action. Apple said in a press release, your favorite specials “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will be available to nonsubscribers free for a limited time. You’ll only have 3 days, but you can watch it as many times as you’d like for free:

Costumes, candy, and a Halloween classic. Join @Snoopy and the Peanuts gang for It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, only on Apple TV+
