While Peacock still isn't on Amazon Fire TV devices, they will be adding their first major new platform since they became available on Roku last September. NBCU’s streaming service, which is best known as the home of “The Office”, Premier League, WWE Network, and The Olympics, will be available on Samsung Smart TVs beginning tomorrow (June 8th).
With the addition, Peacock is now available on Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Chromecast, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Xfinity X1 & Flex, and all major Smart TV platforms from LG, VIZIO, and now Samsung.
