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.
It looks like Comcast wants to make more of splash in the world of streaming, and to do so, it might look to team up with Walmart. A new report today is saying that Walmart and Comcast might partner to make TVs that run streaming software created by Comcast. Such a partnership could be really good for Comcast, which continues to see its cable subscriber numbers drop.
If you want to take a trek back down memory lane -- or perhaps just catch up on the last few years of Saturday Night Live sketches -- NBC's Peacock will soon have you covered. The company is about to launch the full catalog of Saturday Night Live episodes to its streaming service, giving viewers access to all 45 seasons of the comedy show in a single destination. This marks a milestone for long-running series, which has never before been available to stream in its entirety from a single platform.
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.

We've been hearing various rumors about a potential Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot for years, but now it seems it is finally going to happen...sort of. Newly launched streaming service Peacock plans to release a two-season 'reboot' of the show, one that is styled as a drama rather than a sitcom, and that is set in modern life with modern issues. The show is based on a trailer that went viral last year.
NBC's newly launched Peacock streaming service will be the destination for Clueless, a reboot of the '90s TV show by the same name. The show itself comes from CBS TV Studios and we've known about it since last year. 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.
