Charles M. Schulz's beloved "Peanuts" characters are headed to Boomerang next month in a series of animated shorts that will air for the first time in English.

Produced by Normaal Animation Studios for French public broadcaster France Télévisions, the 90-second shorts are adapted directly from Schulz's comic strips. Boomerang parent company Turner Broadcasting announced the deal to air the 500 shorts last fall.

"Peanuts" will premiere Monday, May 9, on Boomerang, with new episodes debuting daily at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT. Viewers will be able to catch a sneak peek on Cartoon Network the week of May 9 at 10:30 a.m. ET/PT, with select shorts also appearing on the Cartoon Network video app.

The series joins a Boomerang lineup that includes "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!," "Bunnicula," "The Tom and Jerry Show" and "Wabbit."
