Chinese and Russian censorship

• Contrary to popular belief, the show was never banned in China, and is even very popular there. However, in Russia, the show was targeted by the Russian government due to the presence of Penny Polar Bear's mothers in the Season 7 episode "Families". Before that, its Russian trademark was no longer renewed due to sanctions regarding the country's invasion of Ukraine, allowing the Peppa Pig brand to be used by third-parties without permission, therefore resulting in copyright infringement. Also, in China, the main character herself was no longer allowed to be associated with gangster communities after a series of videos were posted on Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok).

U.S. censorship

• The episode "Granny Pig's Chickens" is banned due to scene where Grandpa Pig says the word "stupid." Following this the episode was also removed from Paramount+ nation worldwide.
