NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service will be home to Psych 3: This is Gus, the third movie based on the hit comedy show Psych. The company revealed the trailer and release date for the movie during New York Comic-Con, giving fans a long look at the upcoming streaming movie, as well as the good news that they won't have to wait long to watch it.
The streaming service Peacock, of all places, seems to have the horror movie streaming market cornered right in time for Halloween 2021. Included in Peacock's lineup starting on October 1, 2021, are the Chucky movies (Child's Play), Friday the 13th, Gremlins, Leprechaun, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Phantasm, Predator, Psycho, Saw, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dracula, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, The Creature Walks Among Us, and a whole bunch more.
If you're a Peacock subscriber, you'll be able to watch the next Halloween movie from the comfort of your living room the same day it hits theaters. The move represents the ongoing trend this year, offering digital access to many hit movies through streaming services and digital rental platforms for those still reluctant to visit their local cinema.
NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service will soon be home to an original game show based on the classic Konami game Frogger. The show won't hit Peacock until next month, but NBC has given users and subscribers their first look at the upcoming original, including the Frogger-themed obstacle courses and the many ways participants can get knocked out of the competition.
The first episode of the newest season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is called "2020: A Year In Review." This is the longest hiatus the show has ever taken between seasons, and a retrospective episode might well have been the most obvious choice for a return to action. The first episode of Brooklyn 99 (the first episode of the last season here in late Summer, 2021,) did something similar, starting by addressing the extended period of time that's passed since the last aired story.
Only days after revealing a deal that will bring its newly released movies to Peacock, Universal Pictures has announced another deal, this one with Amazon. Under this arrangement, Universal Pictures' future theatrical movies will be available exclusively on Amazon's Prime Video platform after they leave Peacock, which gets the first exclusive streaming window for the content.
NBC's Peacock probably isn't the first (or second, or third) streaming service that comes to mind when you want to watch a movie or catch up with a TV show. The platform has finally gained relevancy in the streaming market, however, with a major deal that'll bring new Dreamworks and Universal movies to Peacock within a few months of hitting theaters.
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. Peacock, according to a new report, is scanning the full wrestling video library to find and edit out racist content, of which there is a fairly substantial amount.
Massively popular sitcom The Office made the transition from Netflix to Peacock earlier this year, much to the dismay of fans. Peacock is a three-tier streaming platform, offering free access to some content, as well as two premium plans -- and you must sign up for one of the paid plans to get access to The Office. 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.
If you're a pro wrestling fan, you might want to consider signing up for NBC's streaming service Peacock, as it'll be the only place to stream content from the WWE Network in a couple of months. Today, NBC and the WWE announced that Peacock will be the given exclusive rights to WWE Network content, including access to pay-per-view events and even the WWE Network archive.
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. Though Peacock continues to have a 'free' tier, it only provides access to the first two seasons of The Office, limiting the remaining seasons to paying subscribers.
