New streaming Peanuts coming

Animated Peanuts

It’s been known for a while now that Apple was working on one, gathering up projects, aiming to unleash this in the second half of next year. When Apple does something, it does not tend to be done in a small way.

So: substantial new Peanuts content, but you’ll have to pay for it.

More on this as it develops.

It briefly tells you that Charlie …
