Peppa Pig has a `newly born` sister. This is the first new character in the animated series in 20 years

What name did the new member of the squeaking family receive? And when will the premiere of the new episode featuring him take place?

The joyful event was officially announced on the air of the British show "Good Morning Britain." The little pig was named Evie.

According to the plot, the little one was born at 5:34 a.m. in the Lindo Wing maternity ward of London's St. Mary's Hospital — the same clinic where the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton gave birth.

The name Evie was chosen for a reason — it was given in honor of Mama Pig's aunt. And Peppa and George are now thrilled to have become older siblings: "And the parents anticipate happy snorts and sleepless nights."

Viewers will be able to meet the first new character in the animated series in 20 years on May 30 — on this day, British cinemas will show the special episode "Peppa Meets the Baby," reports the popular publication Independent. In the fall, the little one will join the main cast: we look forward to new episodes with her on screens.

Report on the birth of Piggy Evie

Let us remind you, "Peppa Pig" first aired on May 31, 2004, and has since been translated into 40 languages. The characters live a life that includes morning tea, evening stories, and visits to friends. All of this, of course, with ears, snouts, and a good sense of humor.
