Apple TV Releases New Snoopy Special About Lost Doghouse

Producers expanded an Alex Galatis idea into a longer special to preserve Charles Schulz’s style and signal interest in a Woodstock-centered follow-up.

Overview

  • The special, which premiered Friday, July 31, is now streaming on Apple TV+ and follows Snoopy after his beloved doghouse is accidentally sold at a yard sale.
  • The hour-long story grew from an idea by executive story editor Alex Galatis that was too large for The Snoopy Show’s seven-minute episodes and was developed when Peanuts Worldwide, WildBrain, and Apple TV offered a longer-format opportunity.
  • Executive producer Mark Evestaff and director Rob Boutelier led a team of more than 100 people and emphasized keeping the look and tone faithful to Charles Schulz’s original strips.
  • Promotional clips and coverage describe Charlie Brown and Snoopy tracking items Snoopy sold — including an accordion, a waffle iron, and a grandfather clock — as part of the search without revealing the special’s ending.
  • The release continues Apple TV’s Snoopy Presents lineup and draws on decades of Peanuts material, and producers have publicly flagged a Woodstock-focused special as a possible next project.
