NBCU Will Bring Law & Order, Chicago Fire, Two & a Half Men, Yellowstone, & George Lopez to Peacock
At today’s ‘Peacock’ Investor event, NBCUniversal revealed that they have licensed a number of shows including becoming the exclusive streaming home for Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment: “Law and Order,” “Law and Order: SVU,” “Law and Order: Criminal Intent,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.,” and “Chicago Med.”
It was rumored Wolf is looking to strike a deal where one streaming service licenses the entire catalog of Law & Order and its spinoffs SVU and Criminal Intent; the three Chicago shows.
The company has also announced that they have licensed Two and a Half Men and The George Lopez Show from Warner Bros. The series will also be joined by Paramount Network’s hit series, Yellowstone.
The company previously shared, Peacock will offer some of the most popular NBC shows, including The Office (2021), Parks and Recreation (October 2020), “30 Rock”, “Bates Motel,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “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…With Children,” “Monk,” “Parenthood,” “Psych,” “Royal Pains,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Superstore,” and “Will & Grace.”
The news comes as streaming services are doling out the big bucks for classic content. Earlier this week, HBO Max scored the rights to exclusively stream The Big Bang Theory when it launches in 2020. Netflix also garnered the rights to Seinfeld, while Peacock announced it would be taking Parks and Recreation from Netflix come 2020.
