Mummy Pig is pregnant, and it's the good news Peppa Pig fans didn't know they needed
We've needed some good news, haven't we? What with the politics and the polarization and the measles and the bird flu and the tariffs. And if the sheer number of TikTok videos about taking a bath with a toaster and social media posts about lying down in the woods and letting the moss reclaim you are any indication, people are pretty done with the current state of, you know, everything. But finally, there's something to be excited about! And if the good news happens to arrive in the form of a cartoon pig's cartoon womb, honestly, at this point we'll take the win. Mummy Pig, Peppa Pig's mom on the beloved British children's cartoon Peppa Pig, is pregnant. After 21 years as a family of four, Mummy and Daddy Pig will break the news to Peppa and George in a new episode on March 31, Hasbro announced in a press release on Thursday. And the new sibling will arrive in Season 11 later this year. "OH BABY, The secret's out. Mummy and Daddy Pig are expecting baby #3 ... and are about to be outnumbered," reads a post on the Official Peppa Instagram account on Thursday. The post includes two photos: the first, of a visibly pregnant Mummy Pig; the second of an ultrasound photo of a tiny, smiling, piglet fetus (words we never thought we'd write, but here we are). To those of you not well versed in the world of Peppa Pig, the scale of the announcement is arguably akin to if Marge announced she and Homer are having a fourth baby after nearly 40 years of The Simpsons, or if the Bradys added a seventh child to their bunch, or if Anna and Elsa had a secret third sister in Frozen 3, which is to say unexpected and a little shocking. After all, fans of the British preschool animated television series have been listening to cheeky Peppa introduce her family in the opening sequence the same way for the past 21 years: "I'm Peppa Pig. This is my little brother, George. This is Mummy Pig. And this is Daddy Pig." As Hasbro points out in its announcement, "everything is about to change." "While Peppa is already a big sister to George, fans will see her welcome and adjust to having a new baby sister or brother," the announcement notes. Mummy Pig, for her part, says she's thrilled and a little overwhelmed, as anyone might be when expecting their third child. "We're having another baby!" she said in an interview with Good Morning Britain on Thursday, showing off her rounded form and then holding up an ultrasound of a piglet fetus (never thought we'd write those words twice). In the news segment, the cartoon Mummy Pig, voiced by British actress and comedian Morwenna Banks, admitted she's "a little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted." Fans appear to be delighted, too. "Happy tearsss," wrote a commenter on the Instagram pregnancy announcement. "Well, now THIS is news," wrote another. "Peppa Pig's Mummy is pregnant. This is the sort of news I want to see," wrote a fan on X. We'll take it. WATCH | Why are grown-ups crying over this Bluey episode?

Idina Menzel Has 'Frozen' Reunions as Kristen Bell and Josh Gad Visit 'Redwood' on Broadway (Exclusive Details)
The cold didn't bother Kristen Bell and Josh Gad this weekend, as the two actors braved the winter weather in New York City to visit their former Frozen costar Idina Menzel in her new Broadway musical. Photographer Bruce Glikas captured the sweet reunions backstage at the Nederlander Theatre, the stars each hugging Menzel and sharing their congratulations with the Tony Award winner. "It was nothing but love," a source tells PEOPLE of the visits. "Idina was so happy to see them and they were praising her on how much they enjoyed her performance. You could see they really love each other." Sadly, Bell and Gad came on different days. He was there for the matinee on Saturday, Feb. 15, while Bell attended the evening performance on Sunday, Feb. 16. Related: The Cast of Frozen: Where Are They Now? While all three didn't have a group get-together, they'll all be stepping back into their Frozen roles for the upcoming third and fourth installments of the franchise. Bell and Menzel voice sisters Anna and Elsa, respectively, while Gad is the voice of Olaf, their childhood snowman brought to life by Elsa's magic. Fans first met the characters when Frozen premiered in 2013. A sequel, Frozen II, was released in 2019. Not much is known about the plots of Frozen 3 and Frozen 4, though Jennifer Lee, who wrote and directed the first two, will be back again. The third film is set to be released on Nov. 24, 2027. "I've heard a little bit and I can tell you guys, it's pretty mind-blowing what's coming," Gad teased of the film on The View back in November 2023. "It's pretty exciting."

Landau penned the musical's book and lyrics while newcomer Kate Diaz composed the music. In the musical, Menzel plays Jesse, a grief-stricken mother who flees to the forest after the death of her son. Connecting with the redwood trees helps her confront her trauma and eventually, begin to heal. A slew of standouts star alongside Menzel, like Tony Award nominee De'Adre Aziza (Passing Strange), Emmy winner Michael Park (Dear Evan Hansen), Zachary Noah Piser (Dear Evan Hansen), and Khaila Wilcoxon (Six). The cast also includes Daniel Brackett (Aladdin), Bradley Dean (The Last Ship), Veronica Otim (& Juliet) and Jessica Phillips (Dear Evan Hansen). But perhaps the most awe-inspiring characters in Redwood are the trees themselves, displayed on LED screens that wrap the theater. The set design by Jason Ardizzone-West and Hana S. Kim's projections transport audiences to Northern California. Adding to the rich experience is the moody lighting by Scott Zielinski and the layered outdoor sounds crafted by Jonathan Dean.

"Honestly, it's been very emotional, like a homecoming," Menzel told The New York Times in January. Opening night proved to be another homecoming. The special evening brought out Menzel's original Rent costars Anthony Rapp, Wilson Jermaine Heredia and Fredi Walker. They all posed with Rent director Michael Greif on the red carpet. Tickets for Redwood are now on sale. Read the original article on People
