On December 19, 2025, Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) and Sony Pictures Entertainment, both wholly owned by Sony Group, signed a definitive agreement with Canada’s WildBrain Ltd. to acquire WildBrain’s roughly 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC for C$630 million, subject to customary adjustments and regulatory approvals. Once completed, the deal will lift Sony’s indirect ownership in Peanuts Holdings to 80% (with the Schulz family retaining 20%), making Peanuts a consolidated Sony subsidiary led operationally by SMEJ in partnership with SPE and preserving the existing rights management structure via Peanuts Worldwide LLC.
