<p>It&#8217;s long been known that Peacock <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/14/nbcuniversal-free-tv-streaming-service-2020/">will be an ad-supported platform</a> (with between three and five minutes of ads per hour) and that cable subscribers and Comcast broadband users wouldn&#8217;t have to pay extra for access. However, a report suggests NBCU might pull the trigger on making Peacock available to everyone at no cost, though a paid subscription may be an option for ad-free viewing.</p>
<p>Comcast and other pay-TV subscribers might get extra benefits, such as additional content, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/01/nbc-peacock-may-be-free-for-all-users.html">according to <em>CNBC </em>sources.</a> As it stands, Peacock is scheduled to include more than 15,000 hours of shows and movies, including <em><a href="https://www.engadget.com/2015/02/07/parks-and-recreation-privacy/">Parks and Recreation,</a> Cheers </em>and new shows from<em> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/27/what-were-watching-the-good-place-and-westworld/">The Good Place</a></em> creator Mike Schur and <em>Saturday Night Live</em> chief Lorne Michaels. <em>The Office</em> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/25/nbcuniversal-streaming-launch-the-office/">will be a Peacock streaming exclusive</a> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/25/the-office-netflix-nbc/">from 2021.</a></p>
<p>You can expect other originals, including reboots of <em><a href="https://www.engadget.com/2016/02/11/battlestar-galactica-movie-starts-coming-together/">Battlestar Galactica,</a> Saved by the Bell</em> and <em>Punky Brewster.</em> There&#8217;ll be plenty of other shows and movies from across the NBCUniversal brands as well.</p>
<p>While there are <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/27/how-to-stream-more-and-spend-less/">other ad-supported, on-demand streaming services around,</a> if Peacock takes that approach, it&#8217;d be the only such platform run by a major media company to do so. As such, it&#8217;d surely pick up a host of users who might not want to pay subscriptions for other services. HBO Max, for instance, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/29/hbo-max-price/">will cost $15/month.</a> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/03/netflix-us-price-increase-rollout/">Netflix</a> costs from $9/month, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/07/hulu-download-offline-viewing-no-ads-subscribers/">Hulu</a> starts at $6 (with ads), <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/10/apple-tv-plus-launch">Apple TV+</a> costs $5, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/14/disney-plus-twitter-promotion/">Disney+</a> will be $7 and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2016/04/18/amazon-prime-video-is-now-a-standalone-monthly-service/">Amazon charges</a> $9/month for Prime Video.</p>

<p>Planned originals for the service include <em><a href="https://www.engadget.com/2016/02/11/battlestar-galactica-movie-starts-coming-together/">Battlestar Galactica</a> </em>(from <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/29/mr-robot-will-end-with-its-fourth-season/"><em>Mr. Robot</em></a>&#8216;s Sam Esmail), <em>Saved by the Bell</em> (by <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/19/nicolas-cage-mandy-succession-great-news/"><em>Great News</em></a>&#8216; Tracey Wigfield) and <em>Punky Brewster </em>reboots. Other original shows include <em>Dr. Death </em>(with Alec Baldwin, Jamie Dornan and Christian Slater), Demi Moore vehicle <em>Brave New World</em> and <em>Rutherford Falls,</em> co-created by <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/27/what-were-watching-the-good-place-and-westworld/"><em>The Good Place</em></a>&#8216;s Michael Schur and starring Ed Helms. Elsewhere, there&#8217;ll be the limited series <em>Angelyne </em>(with Emmy Rossum) and another <em>Psych </em>movie spinoff. On the unscripted side, there are <em>Saturday Night Live</em> docuseries <em>Who Wrote That</em>, a weekly talk show with Amber Ruffin and a Real Housewives spinoff.</p>
<p>You might not see any of those when Peacock debuts though. NBCUniversal is planning a huge marketing drive for the service during the Summer Olympics, and it&#8217;ll premiere original series after the games, according to the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbcuniversals-streaming-strategy-name-programming-lineup-revealed-1240157"><em>Hollywood Reporter.</em></a> There&#8217;ll be some Olympics content on Peacock too.</p>
<p>Naturally, there&#8217;ll be a big focus on library shows from across the NBCUniversal empire. Among those you&#8217;ll be able to watch on Peacock at the outset, many of which will later become streaming exclusives, are <em>30 Rock, Bates Motel, Battlestar Galactica, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/12/brooklyn-nine-nine-nbc-netflix-hulu-fox/">Brooklyn Nine-Nine</a>, Cheers, Chrisley Knows Best, Covert Affairs, Downton Abbey, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Friday Night Lights, House, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, King of Queens, Married &#8230; With Children, Monk, Parenthood, Psych, Royal Pains, SNL, Superstore, The Real Housewives, Top Chef </em>and <em>Will &amp; Grace.</em></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also be able to catch a string of movies, though those won&#8217;t be exclusive. Among the initial flicks are the Fast and Furious, Bourne and Despicable Me franchises, along with <em>American Pie, Bridesmaids, Knocked Up, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, A Beautiful Mind, Back to the Future, Brokeback Mountain, Casino, Dallas Buyers Club, Do the Right Thing, Erin Brockovich, E.T., Field of Dreams, Jaws, Mamma Mia, Shrek </em>and <em>The Breakfast Club.</em></p>
<p>Peacock will also have more than 3,000 hours of material from <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/07/spanish-language-esports-channel-us/">Telmundo</a>, including library titles and original dramedy <em>Armas de Mujer.</em> There&#8217;ll be sports and news offerings too, which NBCUniversal will detail later.</p>
<p>Peacock&#8217;s pricing and launch date details will be revealed down the line. It&#8217;ll be US-only at first, though NBCUniversal eventually plans to expand it worldwide.</p>
