Tune-in Friday, August 18 for an all-new ‘Peanuts’ special, where the lovable introvert, Marcie, learns to buck other people’s expectations.
Apple TV+ shared a sneak peek clip from the new Peanuts special, Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie, premiering globally on Friday, August 18. The special follows Marcie, a lovable introvert who loves her solitude and her friends; always happy to help, Marcie illustrates how sometimes the people who make the biggest difference aren’t the ones who grab the spotlight.
In the special, to train for the school golf championship, Marcie assists Peppermint Patty as her caddie, offering thoughtful and deliberate advice to help her win. Meanwhile, after coming up with brilliant solutions to her classmates’ problems – from hallway traffic jams to lunchtime pizza shortages – Marcie is unexpectedly elected class president... a role she never wanted. Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Marcie struggles to cope with the expectations of her new job and retreats as far from the public eye as possible. As the golf championship begins, Marcie is still in hiding, and Peppermint Patty is forced to tee off with Charlie Brown filling in as her caddie. But after some wise advice and a little introspection, Marcie realizes she can still make a difference for her friends and the school – she’ll just have to buck other people’s expectations and do it her own unique way.
Produced for Apple TV+ by Peanuts and WildBrain, the special is directed by Emmy Award winner Raymond S. Persi (The Simpsons, Wreck-It-Ralph), written by Betsy Walters (The Snoopy Show, Snoopy in Space), and executive produced by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, Cornelius Uliano, Paige Braddock, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, and Logan McPherson. Cognitive scientist Scott Barry Kaufman served as the introvert consultant on the special.
