Halloween will look a little different in several ways this year! Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many areas are curtailing traditional trick-or-treating. One of the most popular traditions of watching Charlie Brown’s Halloween special will also be different!
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Not Airing on Network TV This Year
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown has been a television staple since 1960. The cartoon originally aired on CBS before moving over to ABC for many years. But this year, it won’t air on ABC, CBS or NBC. In fact, it won’t air on network television at all.
People reports that the Charlie Brown parent company, Peanuts Worldwide, is teaming up with Apple+TV. The entire Charlie Brown franchise is moving to the streaming service. This new deal includes It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
How to Watch the Halloween Special
The good news is that It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown WILL be available to watch. Additionally, it will be free on the streaming service. The Halloween special debuts on AppleTV+ on October 30. Fans have until November 1 to stream it for free.

Charlie Brown celebrates more than just Halloween! The Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season is about to kick off. In addition to It’s the Great Pumpkin, other Charlie Brown holiday specials are moving to the streaming service.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving will stream for free November 25 to 27.
