Development

Following the success of The Peanuts Movie (2015) produced by Blue Sky Studios, 20th Century Fox was reportedly interested in making a sequel and turning The Peanuts Movie into a franchise, although the company was only granted the rights to one Peanuts film. Charles M. Schulz's widow, Jean, indicated in November 2015 that a sequel was not imminent, stating, "This one took eight years, so maybe we'll talk again then."[3] In August 2023, following the shutdown of Blue Sky in April 2021, Craig, Schulz's son and co-producer of the film, stated that another theatrical film was not "off the table".[4]

In November 2023, it was announced that a new Peanuts film was officially in development. While not a sequel to The Peanuts Movie, Steve Martino returned to direct, with a script by Karey Kirkpatrick from an original story by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz and Cornelius Uliano; while Bonnie Arnold was set to serve as producer. The project is a joint-venture production between WildBrain Studios, being the first feature film produced by the studio, and Peanuts Worldwide and will be released exclusively on Apple TV.[2] In April 2026, the title was revealed to be Snoopy Unleashed.[5]

Animation

Unlike the last film produced by Blue Sky Studios, the animation is provided by WildBrain Studios and DNEG Animation, making this the second Blue Sky-related project since Annapurna Animation's Nimona for DNEG.[6]
