Orlando Bloom Joining One Of The Biggest Children’s Franchises
I’ll let Peppa Pig introduce this one. “I’m Peppa Pig. This is my little brother George …”, as Peppa Pig’s theme song goes. “This is Mommy Pig, this is Daddy Pig… and this is Orlando Bloom”.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that Orlando Bloom is to star in one of the biggest TV show franchises, Peppa Pig, in the show’s 20th anniversary special, Peppa Pig Wedding Party Special. The show features Bloom voice acting Mr. Raccoon, who helps Peppa prepare for the big event.
Orlando Bloom plays the jeweler and co-decorator for the Peppa Pig wedding festivities, along with hit musician and fiancee Katy Perry playing the dressmaker Ms. Leopard.
In this special episode, Peppa and her family have only one day to prepare for the wedding of Mr. Bull and Mrs. Cow– the show’s first-ever wedding! The show promises Peppa’s iconic characters and an “oinktastic” time.
The special episode featuring Orlando Bloom is set to come out in Spring 2024, as a part of three episodes celebrating the brand’s special anniversary. Details on those episodes have yet to be announced. You can watch the show on Nick Jr. and stream it shortly after on Paramount+. The official release date has yet to be announced.
Orlando Bloom plays the jeweler and co-decorator for the wedding festivities, along with hit musician and fiancee Katy Perry playing the dressmaker Ms. Leopard. The casting decision was announced during Hasbro’s annual Toy Fair in New York. The announcement came a week after Katy Perry was announced to premiere in the special.
“We’re proud to have him [Orlando Bloom] join the Peppa roster just in time to celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary next year.”

Peppa Pig is the second time that the couple has performed together.
The first time the couple performed was for a one-minute political ad/short called “Transmissions For the Future,” which supported the For The People Act. The For The People Act intended to expand voting rights and reduce the amount of money in politics.
