Production

[edit]

The show was formally announced on October 1, 2020, alongside the release of a teaser trailer.[9] A second trailer for the series followed in January 2021, prior to the series' premiere date.[1] In order to create this show, the producers needed to follow several rules:[10]

  • No adults are to be seen or heard.
  • Never show the interior of Snoopy's doghouse.
  • No technology produced beyond the 1970s can be featured.

Rob Boutilier serves as the series' Supervising Director, with Ridd Sorensen, Behzah Mansoori-Dara, Mélanie Daigle, and Steve Evangelatos also directing episodes. In addition to co-writing the second and third episodes, Alex Galatis serves as the Executive Story Editor. Josh Scherba, Anne Loi, Stephanie Betts, Paige Braddock, Craig Schulz, and Mark Evestaff (who also co-wrote the second episode) executive produce.[11]
