Peacock includes more than 15,000 hours of content including original shows, classic series, and movies.

You can also stream 24/7 feed of The Olympic Channel. For late-night show fans, you can watch full episodes of The Tonight Show and Late Night starting at 8pm ET daily.
Originals
The NBCU-owned service relies heavily on nostalgia for their original shows. “Bel-Air” has been its best performer to date. Reboots of “Saved By The Bell” and “Punky Brewster” didn’t last.
Peacock often turns to trusted creators like Michael Schur to try to recreate the magic of shows like “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation,” though their new shows have struggled to catch on.
TV Shows
NBCUniversal’s Peacock is the exclusive home of “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Law & Order,” “Chicago Fire,” and “Two and a Half Men.”

Movies
Peacock also offers a robust slate of critically-acclaimed films and box-office hits from Universal Pictures and Focus Features. The library does fluctuate from month-to-month, though some titles remain.
These titles range from laugh-out-loud comedies like “American Pie,” “Bridesmaids,” “Knocked Up,” “Meet the Parents,” and “Meet the Fockers,” to award-winning classics such as “A Beautiful Mind,” “Back to the Future,” “Brokeback Mountain,”“Casino,” “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Do the Right Thing,” “Erin Brockovich,” “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial,” “Field of Dreams,” “Jaws,” “Mamma Mia!,” “Shrek,” and “The Breakfast Club.” Peacock will also feature films from the franchises: “Bourne,” “Despicable Me,” and “Fast & Furious.”
Kids
Peacock has a lot of family-friendly content that airs on NBC, including shows from Dreamworks Animation. You’ll also see lots of films featuring the popular Minions from the “Despicable Me” franchise.
There is very little children’s content on Peacock that is exclusive to the service, however. Most of the children’s TV shows can also be found on other services.
