Both Bloom and Perry completed their work before the start of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which continues as actors seek a fair contract with Hollywood’s studios and streamers.
Hasbro announced the addition of Katy in the special episode last week.
“We are thrilled to have such a top talent joining the family adventures in PEPPA PIG!” said Olivier Dumont, president of Hasbro Entertainment.
The Fireworks hitmaker makes her debut in a three-part series of the British cartoon as Mrs Leopard, a friendly local clothes maker.
“As a loving parent and fan of Peppa himself, Katy Perry is a perfect fit to portray the character of Mrs. Leopard,” Dumont added, referring to Katy’s three-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with actor Orlando.
Peppa Pig is an iconic children’s show that has been entertaining young audiences for almost twenty years.
With nine seasons under its belt and a global presence in more than 180 regions by 2023, the show is all about Peppa Pig.
Peppa is an adorable little pig and her adventures with her family, including her younger brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, as well as a fun group of friends from their community.

She also made a cameo as herself in an episode of The Simpsons.
Meanwhile, the Grammy winner has been rocking a Las Vegas residency at the Theater at Resorts World since December 2021.
