Still need more options? Here are five of our favorite shows on Peacock to convince you:

The Traitors

Actor Alan Cumming has assumed his best role yet in Peacock's original reality competition series The Traitors. The premise: Cumming has invited a group of celebrities, from reality stars to politicians and athletes, to his castle in the Scottish highlands where they'll engage in a murder mystery. Cumming secretly names some of his guests as Traitors, and night after night, the Traitors "murder" the remaining contestants, dubbed the Faithfuls, who are then eliminated from the game, while the Faithfuls have to suss out and try and eliminate the Traitors.

There are alliances, there's deception, there are surprise murders – and it's tons of campy fun covered in tartan. The show is currently in the middle of its third season, but you can catch up on both of its complete previous seasons now, too.

Poker Face

Natasha Lyonne as a detective in a case-of-the-week style mystery show is great TV. In Poker Face, the show created by Knives Out director Rian Johnson, Lyonne stars as Charlie Cale, a casino employee with the uncanny ability to tell when someone is lying. She puts her skills to good use trying to solve a series of crimes, but finding herself deeper in trouble with the management at the casino where she works.

Like Murder, She Wrote and Columbo before it, every episode is a who's who of celebrity guests, including Adrien Brody, Ron Perlman, Ellen Barkin and dozens more. Season Two is confirmed with guests that include Katie Holmes, John Mulaney and Sam Richardson, but it doesn't have a premiere date yet.

The Day of the Jackal

Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser took aim at The Day of the Jackal at this year's award ceremony, saying “Eddie Redmayne did TV this year. He’s nominated for Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal. It’s about a top-secret elite sniper who no one can see — because he’s on Peacock."

Even Redmayne laughed, but don't let the show's quiet presence stop you from checking it out, it's a great crime thriller based on the 1971 novel by Frederick Forsyth. Redmayne stars alongside Moses Ingram in the assassin's cat-and-mouse game and you can binge the whole thing in one go.

Yellowstone

Thanks to a deal struck before Paramount+ even existed in its current form, five seasons of the Paramount Network's hit show Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as rancher John Dutton, are available on Peacock. (The show's numerous spinoff prequels are on Paramount+ though, just to keep you on your toes.)

Love Island USA

Love Island USA was the event of the summer in 2024 thanks to its daily viewing format, contestants who formed romantic relationships and friendships we loved to see, and the arrival of Ariana Madix as the host. While at first it might just seem like a group of hot singles hooking up in a tropical villa, it's more like a modern-day soap opera that's funny, dramatic and truly addictive.
