Fans of the beloved preschool series Peppa Pig received exciting news recently: Mummy Pig is pregnant, and the family dynamic is set to evolve significantly as viewers prepare to welcome another little one to the Pig household. Hasbro, the franchise's parent company, confirmed the delightful announcement during the podcast, Not Gonna Lie, hosted by the popular personality Kylie Kelce on February 27, 2025.
The eagerly awaited episode, titled "The Big Announcement," is slated to air on Nickelodeon at 9 a.m. ET on March 31, 2025. It will showcase the heartfelt moment when Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig share the pregnancy news with their two children, Peppa and her younger brother George. Fans can anticipate witnessing how Peppa adjusts to her new role as big sister when the new family member arrives later this year.
"I'm excited to share our family is getting even bigger because we're having another baby," announced Mummy Pig during her podcast interview, emphasizing the joy accompanying this new addition to their family. She expressed her excitement by also sharing her sonogram with listeners and viewers and confirmed, "I'm due in the summer, and we're all so excited."
Mummy Pig also acknowledged the challenges of welcoming another child. "I am a little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted," she added, eliciting both sympathy and smiles.
The producers at Hasbro revealed their vision for the upcoming content featuring the Pig family. Esra Cafer, Hasbro’s Senior Vice President of Franchise Strategy and Management, noted, "A transformative new era is underway for Peppa Pig and her family!" She suggested the new baby will not just alter the family size but also introduce viewers to new dynamics and experiences associated with sibling relationships. "A baby brings a special dynamic, and fans will celebrate this exciting time alongside Peppa’s family," Cafer remarked.
Season 10 of Peppa Pig will mirror the realities experienced by many families faced with similar changes. Viewers, especially young children, will have the opportunity to identify with the Pig family as they adapt to welcoming the new addition. How Peppa and George embrace their roles as siblings will be the cornerstone of several episodes, allowing audiences to explore the rich themes of family support and guidance.
Notably, Mummy Pig shared insights about her children’s reactions to the news. "They've had the occasional wobble and worry, but they're mostly so excited about becoming big sister and brother," she said. Their daily inquiries about the unborn baby—"How big is the baby? When is it coming? Does it like dinosaurs and muddy puddles?"—reveal their eagerness and curiosity surrounding the impending change.
The announcement also generates fervent speculation about the new sibling's name. Mummy Pig shared her intent to wait for inspiration before deciding, as she did with Peppa and George. "I think we’ll find the right name once the baby is here. Every pregnancy and baby is different; if the right name appears, we’ll just know," she said, hinting at the mystery surrounding the baby’s identity.
Peppa Pig’s narrative with parenting themes is likely to resonate with many families, as it tackles feelings of anticipation, excitement, and the challenges of welcoming new family members. "With Mummy and Daddy Pig now outnumbered, they experience their own opportunities to evolve,” Cafer stated, fully capturing the relatable essence of parenting dynamics and the humorous adventures the family will face together.
Looking forward, Hasbro has confirmed plans for additional content throughout 2025, including events tied to the gender reveal of Baby Pig and special promotional items. The excitement surrounding Mummy Pig's pregnancy will not just enrich the storyline but also offer fresh ways for fans to connect with their favorite characters.
