Peacock Channel List | What to Watch on Peacock

Peacock is gradually expanding its catalog with the addition of new tv shows, live sports, news programs, and movies. Some of this content—namely, Girls5eva and Dr. Death—are exclusive to Peacock and have received widespread critical acclaim.

While the Peacock streaming service is still fairly new (it was launched in July 2020), it’s already giving more established streaming services a run for their money. With its mixture of live Peacock channels and on-demand content from NBCUniversal studios and third-party content producers, it has become a budget-friendly alternative to traditional cable networks.

In the next section, we’ll go over some of the channels that subscribers can watch on the Peacock streaming service. Once you have a general idea of some of the shows that can be watched on these channels, we’ll list down six of the best new on-demand TV series to debut on Peacock this year.

4. The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club

Can’t get enough of The Real Housewives franchise? Season 2 of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club is set to premiere on June 23.

This is among the most highly anticipated Peacock TV shows to debut this season.

3. Queer As Folk

Queer as Folk is getting a reboot on Peacock, with the first season set to premiere on June 9. This new iteration takes place in New Orleans and follows Brodie (Devin Way) and his friends as they navigate their way through tragedies, romance, and personal growth.

Trigger warning: the season premiere features a mass shooting at a queer nightclub, and the characters are left to deal with their personal losses and traumas. Most notably, Kim Cattrall has joined the cast as Brenda, a “martini-soaked, high-society Southern debutante” with less than glamorous roots.

The critical buzz for this show is starting to build up and fans of the original American and British series should check out the reboot.

Genre: Drama, Romance, LGBTQIA+ Movies,

Actors: Devin Way, Fin Argus, Jesse James Keitel, Candace Grace, Johnny Sibilly, Ryan O'Connell, Kim Cattrall,

Director: Stephen Dunn (1 episode)

2. The Thing About Pam

Based on true events, The Thing About Pam chronicles the involvement of Pam Hupp, a convicted murderer, in the slaying of Betsy Faria in 2011. The limited series features a memorable performance from Renée Zellweger as the titular character. Similar to her role in the Bridget Jones franchise, Zellweger packed on the pounds to play Pam.

At turns comical and dark, The Thing About Pam is a must-watch if you love movies like Fargo and series like The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.

Genre: Crime Drama,

Actors: Renée Zellweger, Josh Duhamel, Judy Greer, Gideon Adlon, Sean Bridgers, Suanne Spoke, Mac Brandt, Katy Mixon, Glenn Fleshler,

Directors: Scott Winant, Logan Kibens, Adam Kane,

1. Bel-Air

Bel-Air is a reimagined version of the landmark sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Similar to the original tv show, the series chronicles Will Smith’s transition from the streets of Philadelphia to the glamorous enclave of Bel-Air. The reboot lacks the original’s comedic tone but makes up for it with great acting, glamorous surroundings, and a compelling storyline.

The storyline has gotten some interesting 2022 updates: cousin Hilary is now an Instagram influencer and Carlton has been transformed into a moody, modern-day Hamlet with a penchant for sports cars.

This Peacock original series premiered on February 13 and has become the most streamed original series to date for the service.

Genre: Drama,

Actors: Jabari Banks, Cassandra Freeman, Jimmy Akingbola, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Simone Joy Jones, Jordan L. Jones,

Directors: Morgan Cooper, Carl Seaton, Nick Copus, Matthew A. Cherry,
