In 2020, Apple signed a deal with rights holders WildBrain and Peanuts Worldwide to bring Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the whole gang to Apple TV. In October 2025, the company announced an extension of that deal.
Apple TV holds exclusive streaming rights to all Peanuts content through 2030. Watching new or classic specials outside limited streaming windows requires an Apple TV subscription.
Apple TV offers a free, three-month trial when a first-time watcher buys a qualifying device, such as an iPhone. If you haven't purchased an iPhone and have not tried Apple TV yet, you may be eligible for a seven-day trial.
After the trial ends, the monthly cost is $14.99, or $119.99 per year.
