What would you do if you had to choose between your country and your loved one? That’s the premise of the movie “Black Bag,” which debuts for on-demand streaming on Peacock on Friday, May 2. “Black Bag” is a slick spy thriller that opened to critical acclaim in March, and now you can stream it at home for the very first time. The only way to watch it when it comes out is with a subscription to Peacock.

Everything you need to know about ‘Black Bag’

When does ‘Black Bag’ come out?

“Black Bag” premieres on Peacock bright and early at 3:01 a.m. ET on Friday, May 2.

Why do we recommend watching ‘Black Bag’ on Peacock?

“Black Bag” will premiere exclusively on Peacock when it comes out, so you won’t be able to stream it anywhere else. That’s reason enough to recommend it, but the availability of other spy-themed titles, the inventory of live sports, and the $8 monthly starting price are also points in the streamer’s favor.
