Manifest, a hit NBC thriller about a plane that disappears for five-and-a-half years before suddenly reappearing, was abruptly canceled by NBC this week. The news that the network would end the show with its third season prompted an outcry from fans who have turned to Netflix as a potential savior.

Amazon's streaming service Twitch will be the home of some NBC Olympics coverage, the network has announced.

Now that WWE Network is shutting down and NBCUniversal has grabbed the full catalog for its new streaming service, someone has a lot of work ahead of them.

Massively popular sitcom The Office made the transition from Netflix to Peacock earlier this year, much to the dismay of fans.

That has changed, but only for this week.
Back in January, the WWE and NBC made a rather surprising announcement by revealing that the WWE Network would become an exclusive offering on Peacock. Today, we're getting a date for that transition, as well as a date for when standalone WWE Network subscribers are going to have to make the switch if they want to keep watching. Yes indeed, it seems that WWE Network subscribers are going to have to sign up for Peacock Premium if they want to keep their subscriptions to the WWE Network.

Hit sitcom The Office is now exclusively available to stream on the service Peacock, which has decided to center its pricing around whether you want full access to the show.

Months after officially opening to the public, Roku has finally settled a deal that will bring NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock to its platform, the company has announced.

NBC's newly launched Peacock streaming service will be the destination for Clueless, a reboot of the '90s TV show by the same name.

Though the show has been in development for several months, that work took place without any particular network attached to air the television show. Now that has changed.
There are already dozens of video streaming services, big and small, so why not add one more? Months perhaps even years in the making, NBCUniversal's streaming service, fittingly called "Peacock", has finally launched to the public, surprisingly right on schedule despite the ongoing pandemic.
