Peanuts (2017 TV Series)

Peanuts (formerly known as The Peanuts Show) is a 2017 American animated comedy television series created and developed by Adam Wingard and produced by Seth MacFarlane, Paul Rudish, and Tom Ruegger. The series is a revival show to the 1950s classic comic book series of the same name created and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz. The series follows around Charlie Brown and his friends and family going on many different and mischievous adventures. 
The pilot episode called “Charlie and the Big Beanstalk”, aired on March 2, 2017 on Netflix and Cartoon Network with over 4.4M Peanuts fans watching it. Noah Schnapp was originally set to reprise his role from The Peanuts Movie, but declined the role to work on other projects including Stranger Things. Max Charles decided to take the role of Charlie Brown for the first season, but he later hit puberty with Jackson Robert Scott taking his role as Charlie Brown.
The show also spawned a theme park attraction and a direct-to-DVD crossover with Marvel with Wingard returning as the director. The show has won several Emmy Awards with many positive reviews from IMDb and others. The return of Heather Wold, Janice Emmons and Fifi also made many fans excited because Charlie Brown's Linus' and Snoopy’s love interests get to return. It also had a home media and a season one release on DVD in 2018. Many parents have called it “a comedy show” for their children and a “classic revival” to Schulz’s famous comic strips starring the characters in this show.
