 AAAUGH!!!! Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang have done it again

DHX Media, WildBrain Entertainment and Apple TV+ have unveiled the first all-new Peanuts special in 10 YEARS, For Auld Lang Syne, Charlie Brown the second New Year's special in the franchise which is slated to debut on the SVOD next Friday December 10th.

In the new special, the savage antagonist character Lucy Van Pelt finally brings out her good side as she hosts an annual New Years Eve party and Charlie Brown actually gets to something goo dhappen to him for once in his life. But not having produced any new specials for a decade, the famous questions of the franchise still remmain: Will Charlie Brown EVER kick Lucy's football? Will Linus EVER get a visit from the Great Pumpkin on Halloween Night? Will Schroder play different composers of classical music besides Ludwig van Beethoven on his toy grand piano? Wil Sally stop calling Linus her "sweet baboon"? Will Peppermint Patty & Marcie EVER get Charlie Brown's name right? Will Charlie Brown EVER get a good grade on his War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy book report? Will the parents and adult characters FINALLY have their faces revealed to the audience? And of course, WHEN WILL SNOOPY KILL THE RED BARON????

"For Auld Lang Syne, Charlie Brown" is the first new Peanuts special in 10 YEARS. Tdhe last time swe've seen them in their trademark format since the mid-60s was in 2011's Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown where Linus throws a huge rant over everyone for trying to remove his security blanket forever. Since then, they have appeared in multiple forms of media including new TV series and movies here and there but this will be the first time in a decade the Peanuts gang go back to their roots.

This new New Years Eve special will see a new era for the format by experimenting to have the main story take center stage on the other characters that fans have come to know and love fo know and love for over 72 years.

It's currently unknown whether or not the new special will continue to use the archived recordings of Snoopy & Woodstock's voices from the late great Bill Melendez who alongside Lee Mendelson, Vince Guaraldi and Peanuts creator Charles M. Schultz (the latter who he and the comic strips that started it all passed away in January-February of the year 2000) would put together the 1965 Christmas special that would begin a legend for one of the greatest franchises in the world.

It's also currently unknown if the new special will get a cable premiere on PBS and PBS Kids who have become the new cable TV home for the Peanuts catalog taking over from Disney Channel and ABC last November.
