Apple will be unveiling its new streaming service in November and on Friday Apple TV+ unveiled trailers for three of its anticipated new children’s programs.

The “Peanuts” gang will return to delight a new generation in “Snoopy in Space”, which sends Charlie Brown’s imaginative dog to the stars, with an aim of encouraging youngsters to gain a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

“Blast off with Snoopy as he fulfils his dream to become a NASA astronaut,” explains the show’s synopsis. “Joined by Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang, Snoopy takes command of the International Space Station and explores the moon and beyond.”

Also coming to Apple TV+ is “Helpsters”, a new live-action preschool series from Sesame Workshop, makers of “Sesame Street”.

“Cody and the Helpsters are a team of vibrant monsters who love to solve problems,” notes the synopsis. “Whether it’s planning a party, climbing a mountain, or mastering a magic trick, the Helpsters can figure anything out â€" because everything starts with a plan.”

Sesame Workshop is also behind another live-action series, “Ghostwriter”, described as a “re-imagining” of its educational series that originally ran from 1992 until 1995.

“When a ghost haunts a neighbourhood bookstore and starts releasing fictional characters into the real world, four kids must team up to solve an exciting mystery surrounding the ghost’s unfinished business,” the synopsis reads. “Each episode story arc is grouped around literature, featuring classics and new works commissioned from popular authors like DJ Machale and Kwame Alexander.”

Apple TV+ will launch on Friday, Nov. 1
