Two new documentaries — “Who Are You, Charlie Brown?” and “Fathom,” as well as the second season of the animated series, “Central Park,” are now available on Apple TV+.
About “Who Are You, Charlie Brown?”
“Who Are You, Charlie Brown?” honors the “everyman” creator, Charles “Sparky” Schulz. It also celebrates the multi-generational popularity of the “Peanuts” comic strip.
“Who Are You, Charlie Brown?” features interviews with Jean Schulz, the widow of Charles Schulz, along with Drew Barrymore, Al Roker, Kevin Smith, Billie Jean King, Paul Feig, Ira Glass, Noah Schnapp, Miya Cech, Keith L. Williams, Chip Kidd, Lynn Johnston, Robb Armstrong and more. What’s more, the documentary interweaves a new animated story that follows Charlie Brown on a quest to discover himself.
About “Fathom”
Directed and photographed by Drew Xanthopoulos (“The Sensitives”), “Fathom” follows Dr. Ellen Garland and Dr. Michelle Fournet, two scientists focused on the study of humpback whale songs and social communication. As they embark on parallel research journeys on opposite sides of the world, they seek to better understand whale culture and communication.
According to Apple, the documentary film uniquely reveals a deep commitment and reverence to the scientific pdrocess and the universal human need to seek answers about the world around us. From hypothesis to groundbreaking experiences in the field, “Fathom” showcases the passion, curiosity, collaboration, perseverance and work it takes for leading scientists to make scientific discoveries, the company adds.
About “Central Park”
From creator, writer and executive producer Loren Bouchard, Josh Gad, and Nora Smith, “Central Park” is an Emmy and NAACP Image Award-nominated series.
Here’s how the new season of the animated show is described: In season two of “Central Park,” the Tillerman family continues to navigate living in and caring for the world’s most famous park. Molly experiences the trials and tribulations of adolescence, Cole is challenged by a truly embarrassing moment at school, Paige continues to chase down the mayor’s corruption story, and Owen juggles managing the park, his staff and his family all with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, Bitsy inches ever closer to her sinister goal of claiming Central Park as her own; with Helen by her side, eternally wondering whether she’s made it into Bitsy’s will. Every step of the way, we are guided along by our friendly, fumbling, fiddler narrator, Birdie.
