You can’t watch It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on PBS this year.

It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown doesn’t broadcast on ABC anymore, and you won’t be able to catch it on PBS or PBS Kids this year.

In 2021, Apple partnered with PBS so that people could watch the special for one night only on both PBS and PBS Kids, but PBS announced in response to a tweet that the deal had expired.

“Regretfully, PBS does not have the rights to distribute the Peanuts specials this year. We’ll all have to watch for the Great Pumpkin in a different pumpkin patch this Halloween,” they said.
