Lucy’s School Is a Tribute to Teachers

Apple TV+ today revealed the trailer for Lucy’s School, a new original special celebrating educators. Based on the classic Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, the special premieres on Friday, August 12.

The Peanuts gang is anxious about starting at a new school in the fall, inspiring Lucy to start her own school instead, but teaching isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Lucy’s School is a love letter to teachers, and an appreciation of the impact a teacher can have on a child. It explores the fear of change and shows how Lucy, supported by her friends, faces and overcomes her own fears.

Produced for Apple TV+ by Peanuts and WildBrain, the special is directed by Raymond S. Persi (It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown), written by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, and Cornelius Uliano.

All three executive produce alongside Paige Braddock, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, Amir Nasrabadi, and Anne Loi. The special is produced by James Brown and Timothy Jason Smith.

Also coming to Apple TV+ on Friday, August 12, through its partnership with WildBrain, are new episodes of the beloved Apple Original, The Snoopy Show season two.

The award-winning slate of original films and series for kids and families on Apple TV+ also includes the recently-premiered, critically acclaimed El Deafo, Best Foot Forward, Lovely Little Farm, Duck & Goose, Pinecone and the Pony, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock and Harriet the Spy from The Jim Henson Company.

There’s also Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show from Jack McBrayer and Angela C. Santomero; Wolfboy and the Everything Factory from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, HITRECORD and Bento Box Entertainment; Get Rolling with Otis and Puppy Place; and Daytime Emmy Award-winning Ghostwriter and Helpsters from Sesame Workshop.

The lineup continues with Academy Award-nominated animated film Wolfwalkers; Peabody Award-winning series Stillwater; new series and specials from Peanuts and WildBrain, including Snoopy in Space season two, It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown, and For Auld Lang Syne; and Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth, the Daytime Emmy Award-winning television event.
