Ben Folds is "Rockin' the Suburbs" for your kids these days as Charlie Brown's main songwriter (all due respect here to composer Jeff Morrow).

For the first time since “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” dropped back in 1967 (if we except the ‘revision’ that released 1999), there is a new musical special in Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts franchise.

“Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical” premieres Friday, August 15. Stream the new “Peanuts” movie on Apple TV+. For $9.99/month, following a 7-day free trial, register for Apple TV+ to stream top movies, 2025 Emmy-nominated series like “Severance” and “Shrinking,” sports, and more.

The last “Peanuts” musical on TV was over 35 years ago. An Apple TV+ special recalls the classics while taking a slightly different direction.

Folds, known for his piano-driven pop rock genius, took the helm on writing "empathetic and nuanced" songs for the new 'Snoopy Presents' musical after making headlines for stepping down as artistic advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center because of Trump.

Billboard is premiering the Folds-written song "Leave It Better" ahead of the special's Friday debut on Apple TV+.

It’s the dog days of summer, Charlie Brown! And for Snoopy fans, that’s actually something to sing about.

Apple is making good on its promise to release new Peanuts content with today's premiere of Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical.
