Apple TV+ Unveils Trailer for ‘Lucy’s School’, A Peanuts Special That Celebrates Educators

One thing that we can all agree upon, is that teachers deserve our respect and should be celebrated often. For they have been tasked with quite the important mission. In that, they are the ones who will teach our children about the world and its history and all the other pertinent information they will need when they head out into the world as adults. Which is a huge deal, something that truly does deserve our awe, and while sadly… proper celebration and respect regarding teachers isn’t always there… anything that can be done to recognize their contributions should be spotlighted.
​
Which is why today’s announcement from Apple TV+ is of note, since earlier they revealed the trailer for Lucy’s School, a Peanuts special that celebrates teachers and the hard work they do. Because they deserve their day in the sun, and this should hopefully help remind folks of the importance of teachers and their critical role in modern society in a manner that is both entertaining and fun, courtesy of the Peanuts gang and well… to garner an idea of how this special is going to accomplish that, here is that trailer and some details on this special, courtesy of Apple TV+.

‘Apple TV+ today revealed the trailer for "Lucy's School," a new original special celebrating educators based on the classic “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, premiering Friday, August 12.
 
The Peanuts gang are anxious about starting at a new school in the Fall, inspiring Lucy to start her own school instead, but teaching isn’t as easy as it sounds. “Lucy’s School” is a love letter to teachers, and an appreciation of the impact a teacher can have on a child. It explores the fear of change, and shows how Lucy, supported by her friends, faces and overcomes her own fears.
 
Produced for Apple TV+ by Peanuts and WildBrain, the special is directed by Raymond S. Persi (“It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown”), written by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, and Cornelius Uliano, who also executive produce alongside Paige Braddock, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, Amir Nasrabadi and Anne Loi, and is produced by James Brown and Timothy Jason Smith.
