”Rats!” For the first time in over 50 years, the classic ”It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” will not be aired on broadcast television. Fans will have to change their plans this year if they still plan on watching Linus sit up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin.
Last year, the special aired on PBS and PBS Kids, but the network’s social media account confirmed that this won’t be the case in 2022.
Apple TV+ became the exclusive home to PEANUTS specials back in 2020, allowing subscribers to enjoy them all year, though the passion for the specials among audiences has occasionally seen partnerships made to allow for airings on linear networks. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown will be available for free on Apple TV+ from October 28th through October 31st.

”It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” has aired on television every year since 1966. Based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, it was the third Peanuts special to be produced. The classic animated tale is about our favorite blockhead, Charlie Brown, and his pals at Halloween. While most children prefer to have parties or go trick-or-treating on Halloween night, Linus is a faithful believer in a visit from the Great Pumpkin. To see the Great Pumpkin, he is willing to stay up all night in a sincere-looking pumpkin patch waiting for his arrival.
