Charles Schultz’ Peanuts are hitting the web with a 20-episode original series from Warner Brothers released exclusively through iTunes. The series is releasing episodes two at a time, with the first two episodes available for free as a little hook to lure fans into the $7.99 season pass. (Two-episode bundles can be snatched up for $.99 a piece.) A day before Election Day, the series kicks off with few political comics — like a Linus/Charlie Brown campaign for class president where despite a sure lock on the election, the ticket collapses due to a fateful final speech.
The whole project is being overseen by the Schulz estate, and has the blessing of the family. “Our Motion Comics lineup continues to expand with the addition of the highly entertaining Peanuts series to our slate,” said Diane Nelson, President of Warner Premiere. “We’re proud to be the Studio selected by the Schulz family to take these classic strips and create all-new content for the next generation of Peanuts fans.”
This incarnation of the gang means new children’s voices for the timeless characters and even a fresh score from jazz composer Randall Crissman (Ozzy & Drix, Fatherhood).
