Peppa Pig
Updated: 12/11/2025, 3:22:17 PM Wikipedia source
Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated children's television series created by Neville Astley and Mark Baker. Produced by Hasbro Entertainment and Karrot Animation and formerly Astley Baker Davies, the show follows Peppa, an anthropomorphic piglet, and her family and friends portrayed as other animals. The show first aired on 31 May 2004. The ninth series began broadcasting in summer 2025. Peppa Pig has been broadcast in over 180 countries. Peppa herself has been voiced by several different performers through the years: Lily Snowden-Fine in series 1, Cecily Bloom in season 2, Harley Bird from "Peppa's Christmas" until "Christmas at The Hospital" (being five years old when she started), Amelie Bea Smith from "Valentine's Day" to "House Rules", and Harriette Cox since "The Big Announcement". The series has also starred John Sparkes, Morwenna Banks, Richard Ridings, Oliver and Alice May, Vincent van Hulzen, Kira Monteith, and Holly Park. On 31 December 2019, Hasbro acquired Entertainment One (eOne), including the Peppa Pig franchise, for a US$3.8 billion deal, making the franchise one of Hasbro's main brands. On 16 March 2021, it was announced that the series was renewed until 2027, with the original creators and studio (Astley Baker Davies) replaced by Karrot Animation (producers of Sarah & Duck). On 17 November 2022, Hasbro announced that they would be selling eOne's assets, while the Peppa Pig franchise would remain with Hasbro.
