Peppa Pig is going to be a big sister again!
The popular cartoon series’ new character addition was announced Thursday by Peppa’s mother, Mummy Pig, in an interview with Kylie Kelce on her Not Gonna Lie podcast.
“I’m thrilled to say I’m pregnant. Baby #3 is due in the summer,” Mummy Pig told Kelce.
Peppa, a 4-year-old cartoon pig, is already an older sister to brother George, 2.
Mummy Pig, characterized also as an author and volunteer firefighter, said everyone in the Pig family is “excited” to welcome their new addition soon, including Peppa and George.
“They’re just taking everything in their stride really. Peppa says she’s an even bigger sister now and I’m an even bigger mummy,” Mummy Pig said. “And you know, we’ve had a few big feelings, as we call them, but we talk and reassure them when they need it. It’s an exciting change but it is a big one.”
Peppa Pig, an animated British TV series, has grown in popularity over the last 20 years and is aired in over 180 territories. The Pig family’s upcoming expansion will be showcased in a new season 10 episode, which will air on Nickelodeon on March 31.
