Last Update 2023-10-04 By Dennis Restauro

Peacock

What is Peacock

Peacock is an over-the-top streaming service from NBCUniversal, with video-on-demand and some live events. While most of the TV Shows and moves are from the NBCUniversal libraries, there is also a lot of third-party content available from Lionsgate, Starz, Warner Bros, Hallmark Channel, A&E Networks, ViacomCBS, Paramount, Cinedigm, and more. The service used to offer a free plan, but the free plan has been discontinued. Currently, Peacock only offers an ad-supported “Premium” plan and a “Premium Plus” plan that is ad-free.

Peacock is the streaming service you want if you are looking to watch WWE, Past seasons of Yellowstone, Premier League, The Office, and more.
