Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical

Gear up for s'more Peanuts fun and a summer jam-packed with song! Apple TV+ debuted the pitch perfect trailer for the all-new original Peanuts musical special, Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical, set to premiere globally on Friday, August 15. The special features original music by Emmy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, composer, and New York Times bestselling author Ben Folds, plus Emmy Award-nominated composer Jeff Morrow, and the veteran Broadway composing duo Alan Zachary & Michael Weiner. This latest special under the acclaimed Snoopy Presents banner by Peanuts and WildBrain for Apple TV+ marks the first Peanuts musical in 37 years. Original songs in the new special include “When We Were Light,” “Look Up, Charlie Brown” and “Leave It Better” by Folds, plus “Best Time Ever” and “A Place Like This” by Morrow and Zachary & Weiner.

This summer, celebrate the joy and magic of summer camp and the importance of preserving what you love.

While everyone settles into camp, Snoopy and Woodstock discover a treasure map that takes them on a wild adventure nearby.

One morning, the Peanuts gang learns that their beloved camp is shutting down because there are fewer campers joining each summer. The news especially saddens Charlie Brown, who feels hopeless about losing a place that has meant so much to him and his friends and is determined to preserve its legacy. Meanwhile, on their adventure, Snoopy and Woodstock find the sought-after treasure chest, but are quickly disappointed when they discover it’s not riches, but instruments and photos from past summer concerts held at the camp. Newly inspired, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang use the treasure to host their own concert to save the camp.

Events Planned for The Golden Girls 40th Anniversary; Family Guy Holiday Specials Return to Hulu

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the beloved legacy series The Golden Girls, fans can look forward to exclusive themed merchandise and experiences across the country, starting on the official Golden Girls Day, Wednesday, July 30. Nationwide events will feature curated experiences from Zero Waste Daniel, themed beverages from Nocking Point Wines, treats from Yogurtland, and limited-edition merchandise from Brick Craft, Candier, and Furbish Studio.

The Golden Girls debuted September 14, 1985, captivating audiences for seven memorable seasons, and the series' theme song and lyrics have become an enduring anthem for generations. For the first time, the estate of revered singer-songwriter Andrew Gold has made the lyrics of his classic hit “Thank You for Being a Friend” available for The Golden Girls products being sold by Furbish Studio, Yogurtland and Candier:

Furbish Studio, known for its iconic collection of needlepoint pillows featuring witty sayings, playful prints and vibrant patterns, is launching the limited-edition “Thank You for Being a Friend” pillow. The pillow will be available for pre-order through the company’s website, www.furbishstudio.com, starting August 19, ahead of the official product launch on September 12.

Yogurtland will introduce a limited-edition cheesecake-flavored yogurt, “Thank You for Being Cheesecake,” to celebrate National Cheesecake Day on July 30. Aptly named in connection with the iconic theme song for The Golden Girls, Yogurtland fans can escape the heat at any of the 202 participating locations across the United States until August 17.

Candier, the candle brand renowned for its unique, fun and luxurious scented candles, will introduce two limited-edition items: “I’ll get the Cheesecake!” candle and the “Thank You for Being a Friend” candle, starting September 14.

Additional The Golden Girls products and celebrations include the following:

From July 31 to August. 17, Brooklyn-based fashion brand Zero Waste Daniel will honor television’s most iconic foursome with a limited-edition capsule collection inspired by The Golden Girls, celebrating the enduring legacy of Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia. The collection reinterprets nostalgic elements from the sitcom through the bold, artistic and heartfelt vision of one of Brooklyn’s most unique creative studios. It will be available to purchase online and at a special in-store activation at the Zero Waste Daniel flagship location (257 Varet Street), which will be transformed into a Golden Girls-inspired dreamscape, part fashion destination and part fan tribute.

Beginning August 17, Nocking Point Wines, the distinguished wine company known for delivering custom-curated wines, will launch a wine assortment with four distinct bottles to celebrate the four vibrant friends: a full-bodied red for strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak, rosé in honor of spacey Rose Nylund, a sauvignon Blanc befitting flirtatious Blanche Devereaux, and a red blend perfect for the wise-cracking Sophia Petrillo.

Brickcraft, the design-forward building brand known for bringing fan-favorite franchises to life through brick-building sets, will debut a limited-edition The Golden Girls brick-building set in November.

Disney Entertainment Television also has multiple programming events planned:

Fisher-Price has launched a playful and nostalgic short-form content series titled “Little People Collector Mini Adventures.” This series reimagines beloved moments from The Golden Girls using the Fisher-Price® Little People Collector™ The Golden Girls: Late Night Cheesecake set featuring Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia. Each episode highlights fan-favorite themes and timeless humor, introducing the charm and wit of these iconic characters to a new generation in Little People form.

All-new episodes will debut July 30 across the official social media accounts of The Golden Girls, Mattel and Fisher-Price, coinciding with International Cheesecake Day. Additional episodes are scheduled to air August 19, with a special episode commemorating the 40th anniversary of the show set to air September 14. Another episode, focusing on the most memorable moments from the series, will be released on Nov. 18.

This fall, ABC News will mark the iconic sitcom’s 40th anniversary with a one-hour special detailing the incredible inside story of The Golden Girls, featuring series creator Susan Harris, Emmy® Award-winning producer Tony Thomas, and many of the show’s original writers and producers. Paying tribute to the legendary actresses who brought Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia to life, and to 40 years of friendship, laughter and their famous love of cheesecake, the special will explore how The Golden Girls used uninhibited comedy to rewrite the narrative for women over 50 and how its timeless appeal has created a lasting influence on pop culture.

Having originally premiered in 1993, Emmy(R) Award-winning creator Mike Judge has cemented Beavis and Butt-Head as cornerstones in adult animation. Known for its sharp wit and unfiltered take on adolescence, the show remains a significant part of the cultural zeitgeist. Created and voiced by writer, producer and director Mike Judge, the characters of Beavis and Butt-Head originated in Judge's 1992 short film Frog Baseball, which was broadcast by MTV's animation showcase "Liquid Television."

After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, Beavis and Butt-Head ran for seven seasons, from March 8, 1993 to Nov. 28, 1997. The series was revived in 2011 with an eighth season airing on MTV. During its initial run, Beavis and Butt-Head received widespread critical acclaim for its satirical, scathing commentary on society. The show's popularity spawned various related media, including the theatrical film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America in 1996.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Premieres September 9; Apple TV+ Stick Renewed for Season 2

Only Murders in the Building returns for Season Five — and your favorite crime-solving trio is back for another killer case! The series premieres on Tuesday, September 9, with three episodes, followed by new episodes weekly on Hulu. After their beloved doorman, Lester, dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia. The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.
