With 26 episodes dedicated to Nate’s adventures with his friends, the series will have something new for fans of the franchise while also introducing its humorous cast of characters to newcomers.

The world of the beloved Peanuts comic strip has been brought to life in various ways over the years, thanks in large part to cherished holiday specials, though fans will get the closest experience to actually setting foot into the world of Charlie Brown and Snoopy thanks to an immersive experience that will be debuting this winter. Following its initial run, The Search for Snoopy: A Peanuts Adventure will embark on a North American tour, allowing even more guests to step inside the world of Charlie Brown’s bedroom, Snoopy’s doghouse, and more iconic locations.

It all comes in the form of a new immersive—ie. infinitely Instagrammable—experience called The Search For Snoopy: A Peanuts Adventure which will make its world debut in Honolulu in the spring of 2022. People can walk through Snoopy’s doghouse, into Charlie Brown’s bedroom, where you take a detour into his soundproofed closet to scream at the top of your lungs, pull up a stool at Lucy’s psychiatry booth and address the classroom.
