Characters
Main
- Peep (Voiced by Janet James): A male, yellow chicken who is very curious. The show's title is derived from his name. Peep is female in the original short film.
- Chirp (Voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz): A female, red robin who is also curious, and attempts frequently to fly, with unsatisfying results. She is Peep's friend. Chirp is male in the original short film.
- Quack (Voiced by Lenny Henry): A male, blue duck who wears a white sailor's hat. He frequently boasts about himself and ducks as a whole, and unwittingly makes many discoveries. Quack is purple in the original short film and is now referred to as blue, but is still quite indigo. He also seems to have a hoarding issue, as evidenced in the episode "The Tooth, The Whole Tooth and Nothing But the Tooth, Part 1."
- The Narrator (Voiced by Joanna Ruiz): The Narrator tells the episode's story, although the characters rarely have any interaction with her. In the episodes "Dry Duck, Part 1" the birds did have a short interaction with her and in "Quack Quiets the Universe" she and Quack interact as well.
Minor
- Ant (Voiced by Robert Tinkler): A busy male ant who appears in some episodes.
- Beaver Boy (Voiced by Emma Tate): A young naïve male beaver who lives in an adjoining pond to Quack's. He appears in several episodes. His desire to please his mom and dad often results in him chewing down too many trees. He often calls Peep "Yellow Guy" and Chirp "Red Round".
