Top 5 Titles Coming to Peacock in August 2023: ‘Super Mario Bros.,’ ‘Killing It’ Season 2, ‘The Northman’

As the calendar turns to August, Peacock is going to be home to some of the most exciting sporting events and movies on streaming. In addition to being the streaming home for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the NBCUniversal streaming service will host the WWE’s Summerslam, college football’s premiere Week 0 matchup between Notre Dame and Navy from Ireland.

In addition to all of the sports action, the streamer will become the exclusive streaming home of the most successful movie of the year, all of Hallmark Channel’s Summer Nights movies, and one of the most exciting Viking epics ever made.

What Are the Best Shows and Movies Coming to Peacock in August 2023?

2023 Women’s World Cup Finals | Aug. 20

The United States Women’s National Team is just two games into its quest to win its third-straight Women’s World Cup, but the excitement is already ramping up, not only for Team USA, but for all of the incredible athletes, teams, and stories on display in Australia and New Zealand. Peacock is the only subscription streaming service that allows you to watch the matches, as the games are being broadcast on Fox and FS1 and the company does not have a premium streaming service. So, if you are a cord-cutter, Peacock is the best way to watch all of the action, but keep in mind, the NBCUniversal streamer carries the games from Telemundo, so they are in Spanish.

Check out Telemundo highlights of the Women’s World Cup:


‘Killing It’ Season 2 | Aug. 17

In the Peacock original comedy “Killing It,” Craig Robinson stars as a security guard who figures out he can make a lot more money hunting snakes in the Florida Python Challenge. While this might seem like a straightforward way to achieve the American Dream, he soon finds that he has to overcome dangerous criminals, nature run wild, and worst of all, corporate America. Claudia O’Doherty, Rell Battle, Scott MacArthur, and Stephanie Nogueras join Robinson in the series.

Fleming is a mainstay of the alternative comedy scene and here, he brings his surreal take on being a live performer to streaming along with absurdist sketches depicting the artist’s journey through Hollywood and the mystical nature of live theater.
