Peppa Pig will have a brand new piglet to play with come the summer, with news that the beloved character is to welcome a new sibling to the family.
Morwenna Banks, who voices the character of Mummy Pig in the global hit cartoon, shared the news on ITV’s Good Morning Britain in the UK Friday morning.
“I’m excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because we’re having another baby. I’m due in the summer, and we’re all so excited,” she said.
The new arrival will bring the family to five, including Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, puddle-jumping Peppa and younger brother George.
Banks added that Peppa and George had the “occasional wobble and worry” about the impending new addition to the family, but “they’re mostly so excited.”

She said: “Every day they ask me how big the baby is. When is it coming? Does it like dinosaurs and muddy puddles? It never stops.” And she added that she was “a little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around.”
In the Pig universe, which has now been running for two decades, George remains two years old and Peppa two years older. Peppa participates in many energetic activities, and learns something new every day while making time for family and friends.
Created by Neville Astley and Mark Baker, Peppa Pig is now available in more than 180 countries, and has been translated into 40 languages. Hasbro acquired the brand in 2019 as part of its purchase of Entertainment One.
