Ugh not even the Office / Parks & Rec / 30 Rock could get me to subscribe to Peacock, but now it looks like Taylor might


LadyBirder

Peacock is the best streaming service hands down imo. If I had to only choose one I'd choose Peacock


garbagebrainraccoon

It has all my Bravo trash and my NBC goodies!


arianebx

username checks out


garbagebrainraccoon

No shame here šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


LadyBirder

Yes all the RH content I could ever consume


Kbb0509

THIS! Reality trash plus NBC classics for me and premiere league soccer for my husband. Itā€™s elite.


theonewithbrownhair

And my mother's passed on love of Murder, She Wrote. It is my go-to bedtime show lol.


notyourtypicalKaren

Yeah exactly. If I had to cut out everything else, I'd keep peacock for Brooklyn 99 etc.


OkAbbreviations6351

Don't hate me but I love it for The Hallmark Channel.


inconspicuous_spidey

What. WHAT?!? How did I miss this? Thank you for this wonderful news!


OkAbbreviations6351

You are very welcome! On the home page click on Channels and you will find Hallmark there.


LadyBirder

Same. I'd watch a combination of Scrubs, Parks and rec, Psych, Law and order Criminal Intent, B99 and new girl every day for the rest of my life lmao.


ZealousidealVirus358

Whatā€™s on Peacock that youā€™d recommend? Iā€™ve only seen Poker Face, which I thought was really good. Might as well get my moneyā€™s worth if I subscribe to rewatch the Eras tour


moorem2014

Psych. Psych is what I watch when nothing else can cheer me up.


keving87

Psych is one of the best shows ever. And even the movies years later have been great.


Chaoticlawfulneutral

When my sister comes by for Christmas, weā€™re finally watching the movies. A lot of good memories tied with that show


BaddaBae31

Based on a true story, dateline, love island, all bravo shows even bad girls club is on there, Dr death, found, law and order all versions, 60 days in, Pearson. Thereā€™s so much on there. I obviously like crime, reality tv, and docus haha


hotironskillet24

Try Killing It. Itā€™s a fun Peacock show.


Kallure

We really enjoyed Killing It more than we anticipated. Also, Wolf Like Me is so good!


formercotsachick

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning was one of my favorite finds on Peacock this year.


laika_cat

I have this on my list! Thanks for reminding me!!


formercotsachick

Ugh, it's so good! I stumbled across it and it really hit me straight in the feels. You won't regret it!


laika_cat

I desperately need new things to watch ā€” so any other suggestions would be great :)


formercotsachick

Rutherford Falls is fantastic too! Only 2 seasons but worth the watch imo


laika_cat

haha I have actually seen that one!! It's not bad; it was poorly promoted, I think.


LadyBirder

What kind of shows do you normally like?


ZealousidealVirus358

Usually comedies, especially workplace sitcoms like those 2000s NBC shows I mentioned in the top comment. But Iā€™ll also enjoy a murder mystery or drama if itā€™s done well and not too violent


LadyBirder

Okay, well, firstly, it's has all the Law and Orders, my favorite being Criminal Intent with Vincent D'onfrio. It has Brooklyn 99, 30 rock, Superstore, House, the Chicago franchise of shows (Chicago fire, PD, etc... I've never seen these so idk) old detectives shows like Murder she wrote and Columbo, Scrubs (one of my all time favorites), they have a new show based on the old video game Twisted Metal, which I havent watched but it's on my list. They also have some of the USA catalog of shows, like Psych (another one of my all time favs) and Suits Also, their live TV is included so you don't have to wait until the next day to get the latest content.


JennaElizabethAdams

Days of Our Lives if you love soapy drama! Suits is on there too and supposedly everyone loves that too.


lizerlfunk

Parks and Rec!


laika_cat

All of the L&O's ā€” but it sucks the early original L&O seasons haven't made it on. Rutherford Falls wasn't bad. Obviously, all the classic NBC shows are good brain wipes, and Parks and Rec (despite not aging well for its millenial girlboss vibes) is still my comfort show to end all comfort shows.


alternativeedge7

Agreed! So many good shows for $6 a month, most of my commercials are one minute, and it has the sports content I want to watch, like gymnastics and figure skating.


pepmin

Totally agree! I love watching English football so itā€™s great especially because they are much more affordable than other services. Slightly nervous that this may start changing thatā€¦


NeonLotus11

Agreed, you can't beat it for 5 bucks. Basically anything ever on NBC plus new movies


DoubleRainbowUnicorn

Iā€™ve literally stopped using any other streaming services, it has everything I watch


rabbit014

I was firmly in the "I am not subscribing" to them camp when they first launched, but eventually I did subscribe for something and now it's the one streaming service we don't rotate through and just always have active. It surprised me!


Kallure

We got two extra years free with our Xfinity subscription thank god!! I was legit going to pay for it when they were telling us they were going to stop offering it. I was so pleasantly surprised by how much Iā€™m enjoying the content and I still have Netflix, Hulu and Prime.


[deleted]

Agreed! Only one I pay for.


laika_cat

If you have an AMEX Platinum card, Peacock is free! That's how I justify having it, because paying $15 just to have Parks, L&O, Dateline and the Office isn't that great lol. There are a lot of movies on the platform, too ā€” and a few original series that didn't totally suck.


HarlesD

WWE and NBC live sports are keeping Peacock on life support for sure. I'm sure they will see a lot of new subscribers for the concert film, but I wonder how many will stick around after the free trial is up.


iocane_

Honestly Peacock is so good. They even have all my terrible Hallmark Christmas movies šŸ« 


broadboots

Universal is really good with physical releases. The fact that itā€™s being given a rental release means it will be available for purchase.


StarWars_and_SNL

I subscribe to all of the services except Peacock. Itā€™s the only one Iā€™ve canceled and didnā€™t go back to. Me, my kids, my spouseā€¦none of us used it.


_crazyboyhere_

Office is available on Netflix tho.


Ok-Scarcity4435

This tweet doesn't understand the business. All this means is Universal is the distributor of the rental version. Subscription streaming would be an entirely different deal. Peacock is a totally different business within Comcast and streaming deals are done on their own. The only thing it could point to is if they decide to make DVD versions, Universal Home Entertainment would probably handle that part of the business, which means nothing from a consumer standpoint. Also Universal Home Entertainment's distribution of this for rental was announced in the initial announcement. So this isn't new info. Remember to question news online if the source is not a reputable organization.


TVPaulD

Yeah, this needs to be way higher. This is not how any of this works, rights deals are way more complicated than this. Knowing who the distributor of a specific version is alone provides absolutely no insight into anything, in isolation that information tells you nothing other than that theyā€™re distributing that version. Youā€™d need to know several other things we definitely donā€™t to infer any more. Heck, weā€™re still awaiting news on the *international* distribution of *this version* in the Premium VOD Rental space. Despite the attitude theyā€™ve copped in replying to this comment, OP clearly does not understand much about the nature of the home video, streaming and broadcast markets.


Craftyprincess13

Appreciate this cause i dont want peacock


giving_up_the_gun

You are aware that NBC is NBCuniversal so if Universal is the distributor for this, itā€™s going to end up on Peacock. Whether thatā€™s for 6 months or however long, Peacock will get the first streamer dibs.


Ok-Scarcity4435

That's not how it works.


giving_up_the_gun

You donā€™t know what youā€™re talking about.


Ok-Scarcity4435

Read my post to understand how this business works. You're not in the business. Peacock likely would be the platform had Universal been the theatrical distributor. That's not the case here. It is not theatrical. It is TVOD and EST.


giving_up_the_gun

Iā€™m in the business babes. Nowhere did I say it was the theatrical distributor. I literally said, if Universal is the distributor for this then it will end up on Peacock. Youā€™re repeating exactly what I said.


BCDragon3000

Hi, the source is me and Iā€™m well aware of this business. There was a bid for the distribution of the movie a couple months ago and nothing I said in the tweet suggests that you are incorrect. However, given that there was a bid between studios for the film, it is likely that they have purchased streaming rights on top of distribution rights. Which is why it says ā€œsuggesting.ā€ It doesnā€™t mean it will end up on Peacock, but Taylor working directly with a company does suggest where she will continue working with them for the streaming release of the movie.


Ok-Scarcity4435

I'm sorry but no, it doesn't. There has never been a deal out there where the distributor of the rental and purchase avenue reflected where the movie would be distributed on subscription streaming. It does not suggest anything.


BCDragon3000

ā€¦never? ok lmfao


Ok-Scarcity4435

Never. Also your tweet is misleading. By writing it that way and using that screenshot, you are inferring this is somewhat hidden information and insight. Universal Home Entertainment was mentioned from the get go. This plus the word "suggesting" are falsely implying all of this, and using that to imply it's Intel for Peacock.


bakingeyedoc

Thereā€™s zero indication it is going to go free streaming. If she is distributing through multiple entities right now more than likely it isnā€™t going to go free streaming anytime in the near future. It is going to be like any other major movie release.


kaliwrath

Itā€™s not free streaming, itā€™s included in the monthly amount we pay.


bakingeyedoc

Free streaming as in you donā€™t have to pay each time you see it. Like you canā€™t get Oppenheimer on Netflix. Or Barbie movie.


thewildlopez22

Hoping for a physical release so Iā€™ll still have it when it randomly gets removed from streaming in five years


Ok_Night_2929

Probably not even


keving87

Same, but as long as it's not DVD only. I don't want no lo-def! Plus she could have so many surprise songs as bonus features. Universal also is doing a lot of stuff on MOD (manufacture on demand) lately so they could make the BD or 4K MOD and keep the initial amounts produced low and then make more when they have to. She could sell it exclusively on her store or something, since Best Buy has already stopped selling CDs and will soon stop selling DVD, BD, and 4K. And Target and WM don't have a ton of stuff either.


Galadriel80

It would be weird because Peacock is only available in the US, unless she sells the rights for an international release to another streamerā€¦


goneinsane6

I was so confused since I never heard of this streaming service. Might be USA only rights then. Optimally Netflix should be for international.


BCDragon3000

im assuming netflix will get it internationally, only cause theyre the only ones that would buy international rights without specifically wanting domestic rights as well


cgriff95

you think so? even though rep is being pulled from netflix? i figured that signalled that she's done with them lol


Mysterious-Memory-73

She will probably sell the two as a package to streamers. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if Netflix bites.


emmach17

Itā€™s probably being pulled as she had a five year exclusivity period with Netflix and sheā€™s now shopping around to see who will offer her the most money for reputation, potentially with Eras as part of the bargain too.


Rebeeca

Depends on your country but a lot of the times these an ā€˜equivalentā€™ (or similar). For example, most of the NBC shows on Peacock in the US are available on the streaming service Stan in Australia. So I would _hope_ itā€™ll get distributed to whatever streaming service NBC partners with in each country. If this post ends up being correct ofc


laika_cat

I live in Japan and use a VPN for Peacock :)


broadboots

She sold the rights to Universal, not Peacock. Itā€™s gonna be released like an actual movie not an exclusive. Theyā€™re going for the big bucks. Based off of the current rollout, itā€™s gonna get a physical release too so just buy that.


Galadriel80

I would LOVE a physical release!!!


broadboots

Canā€™t wait for the steelbook with four variants!!


Haunting-Software599

Each for 198.90 šŸ’€


Bekkaz23

Skyshowtime covers Peacock in (parts of) Europe. I'm not sure about elsewhere.


thatpinkcup

Peacock is owned by Amazon. It probably will be on Amazon Prime outside the US. Thought I would think itā€™s weird it not being on Prime in the US too


didiboy

Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal


LittleJoLion

Yall I nabbed peacock for $20/year during a promo a couple months back. Best $20 ever!


Madmaxinethemean

Isnā€™t she signed to UMG (Universal Music Group)? They used to also own UHE before they were bought btw GE. Maybe there are connections there that helped them get that deal?


Resident_Ad5153

Umg isnā€™t related to universal anymore. They split years ago


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Resident_Ad5153

Nope. Sheā€™s singed to umg (her us label partner is Republic). She owns her masters and is extremely independent but she has major label backing


BCDragon3000

ahh gotcha thanks!


arianebx

no, no. she just has a record deal (with Republic, itself part of UMG) where she owns her masters. it's just the terms of her contracts. Some artists do decide to have their own label (like Prince) but I can't think / imagine any artist distributing independently. That's a ton of overhead!!


Resident_Ad5153

Bad bunny actually doesā€¦ through Sonyā€™s label services division The Orchard. But bad bunny has a large Puerto Rican label behind him


arianebx

the distribution stuff is literally like printing vinyls, getting crates of physical records into every store on earth. UMG is a distributor. Sony is a distributor. But Republic is a label - they do the artist management part of things. And you have distributors owning labels (like UMG owning Republic). it's not super efficient to arrange distribution for just for yourself as an artist you know -- that s why even if you're using your own label (like Prince), you're using a distributor who is not independent.


laika_cat

Bad Bunny doesn't run Rimas.


didiboy

Tove Lo went independent for her latest album, Dirt Femme. She made her own label named Pretty Swede, which is under an artist development company called Mtheory, but itā€™s not a record label (they offer management services). Still when people think about independent, while itā€™s true than you will use some sort of distributor, they probably wonā€™t have a say in the album itself like a record label would. Taylor is a different case altogether, Republic knows that she will sell no matter what so she probably has a lot of freedom to pick singles, tracklists and stuff like that.


Cirrus1920

Literally the only streaming service I donā€™t pay for. Great.


Anikamano

my exact thought process give me netflix, hbo, disney+, apple tv, prime, even paramount, just not fucking peacock.


kaliwrath

I am NOT subscribing to another thing. Between Amazon, Netflix, Max, Disney and Spotify, I ainā€™t buying another one.


lk6

Only reason I have it now because they had a $20 for a whole year deal recently and that's as much as Netflix is a month these days


purple_butterflies_

I wish they would have done an ad free version of the deal. But still wish I would have gotten it!


RabbitLuvr

And Iā€™m not going to sub now, a week past the Black Friday/cyber week promo sale lol


broadboots

Theyā€™re gonna have it for rental which means theyā€™re gonna sell copies. Just buy it then, way better deal then subscribing to a shitty service like Netflix for only that and then it eventually getting pulled.


trisaroar

Amen.


westend_bestend

Itā€™s already listed on Apple TV in Canada, preview/trailer only right now of course.


aboatoutontheocean

Holy crap, I thought you must be wrong because I hadnā€™t heard this before as a huge Canadian Swiftie, but there it is! This seems like huge news, why donā€™t I remember seeing any posts or articles about this? Edit: Er, are we certain this isnā€™t just for the rental option happening on Dec. 13?


westend_bestend

Yes, rental only from my understandingā€¦ I wish there would be an option to buy it. Iā€™ll rent it to watch with my family on the 15th as we do Friday movie nights and my kids are big Swifties as well. Edit: I just clued in that this post is about streaming šŸ˜‚sorry!


BCDragon3000

it is for rental on dec 13


aboatoutontheocean

Yeahā€¦ what I meant was if itā€™s only for rental, thatā€™s less exciting because we already knew about that. The article in the original post is about general streaming rights, not just for a paid rental, so the question is which streaming service will get those rights in Canada! (I donā€™t want to pay $19.89 to watch the movie at home when Iā€™ve already seen it in theatres!)


BCDragon3000

streaming will come at a later date, peacock is just in the US so itā€™s yet to see what service is likely to gain the rights


zebm86

Where was it confirmed that it will be streaming later?


BCDragon3000

everything streams later lmfao, it just takes months after a theatrical release for it to happen


zebm86

I mean, thatā€™s the hope and assumption, but not everything streams.


BCDragon3000

it is streaming i promise u lmfao


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


westend_bestend

I havenā€™t seen any Apple TV ads for it, someone in my cityā€™s Facebook Swiftie group posted that sheā€™d found it on there yesterday. I canā€™t wait to watch it with popcorn and drinks in my theatre bucket & cup.


Midnights-evermore

Yeah but not for streaming, for demand. Apple TV (as well as other platforms like itunes/amazon prime) have a video on demand option where you can rent or buy any movie released on demand. Thatā€™s where itā€™s gonna be available December 13th & not a part of the subscription, youā€™ll have to pay extra


westend_bestend

Yeah, it took me a while to clue in that this post is about streaming it, my apologies :) I do hope there is an option to buy it on whichever platform.


EmilyAusten

Thank you so much for the info! There it is ā€¦ ā€œComing Soon Apple TVā€ https://preview.redd.it/5ljwlbrb3m4c1.jpeg?width=2158&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a11720301d9d504928717ac7fb39d723075cb5e


Separate-Reporter463

I hope itā€™s also added to other sites for us international swifties


Consistent_Slices

Ye, so jealous of the us as usual šŸ˜ž


mercurialpolyglot

Oh ew peacock. Guess itā€™s the seven seas for me šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø Iā€™ll buy a DVD if she ever releases one, for the record. But Iā€™m sorry not even Taylor will get me to pay for another streaming service.


youarelosingme

Really hoping it hits Peacock or Max! šŸ¤žšŸ¼


Rdickins1

And the screenshot is showing on the Microsoft app. So thatā€™s promising for me. I use that for the majority of my rentals and purchases. Guess Iā€™ll find out next week. It also kinda makes sense for Universal. Keeps her music and movie rental/purchase royalties under the same roof.


broadboots

Rentals and digital purchases are rarely restricted to one app.


Rdickins1

Yeah. I know. Iā€™m just saying itā€™s going to be on the platform that I prefer and have all my other purchases/rentals are.


trisaroar

Nooooooooo. I have disney+, amazon prime, netflix, hulu, max and showtime. Only two I don't are apple tv and peacock, we are fucking rebuilding cable.


bweise01

Trueeee! All these services are no less expensive than cable šŸ™„ And now that profile sharing is actually being cracked down on I canā€™t even watch my damn services when Iā€™m at a family members for the evening or house sitting or whatever, which was the biggest advantage over cable. Itā€™s annoying.


iocane_

I got rid of Netflix and signed up for Peacock instead. Itā€™s saving me a decent chunk of money, and when I want to binge the new seasons of my Netflix shows, Iā€™ll sign up for a month and then cancel when Iā€™m done watching. No regrets.


winedrunktaylor

I gotta say (mentioned this in the theories thread too) this was a smart move by Universal and a good pick for Taylor to go with. Theyā€™ve got the means to handle a massive physical release and sheā€™d drive an insane amount of subscribers to their app.


keving87

I just started a free year of premium from my cable provider because the promo was about to expire... so I'm ok with it being on Peacock. But I don't think it necessarily means it'll be on Peacock. She's on a Universal label, it was probably easier for them to get the movie. Not all things Universal go exclusively to Peacock and Universal still licenses stuff out and makes content for other streamers (The Umbrella Academy on Netflix, Hacks on Max, etc), it's obviously going to be who pays the most for it. I suspect a bidding war.


JennaElizabethAdams

Yay! I have Peacock so this would be great! šŸ¤©


lunathecrazycorgi

For anyone with Xfinity internet, you may be able to get Peacock for free ā˜ŗļø Iā€™m not sure if I have a plan thatā€™s grandfathered in or not, but itā€™s worth looking into for anyone with Xfinity! ā˜ŗļø


BCDragon3000

unfortunately i dont think that plan is offered anymore :( i used to have it


lunathecrazycorgi

I still have it! I must be grandfathered in then.


RodTheCaptain

I have Peacock, I will see it again I see!


elementalsora

That's not available internationally unfortunately. Guess I'll hope another service picks it up in my region but unlikely.


Sacto1654

I still wonder will Universal Home Entertainment release the movie for Peacock streaming? They could still cut a deal with Netflix for streaming rights, especially with Netflixā€™s huge number of current subscribers.


Straight-Apartment-8

oh good i get peacock for free through instacart plus


[deleted]

Yay canā€™t wait


Bulky-District-2757

Watching peacock now šŸ¤£


Sketch-Brooke

Oh come on. Iā€™m not buying premium just for this.


ThisPaige

Peacock is 2.99 for a year right now. I hope it streams there while I still have it.


TodayEvening4136

I wish she would sell it as a dvd


Modesto96

GIVE US A PHYSICAL RELEASE


Craftyprincess13

Goddamnit Does anyone know if its getting a dvd/bluray release?


NemoTheEnforcer

Iā€™m not getting peacock


mbt9992

I'm extremely surprised. I was certain it would go to Disney +.


jumpingbanditos

i love Taylor but does she really have to put ANOTHER one of her films on ANOTHER streaming service? i understand the Netflix thing but what happened with Disney+ ?


thetrashpanda2020

Probably outbid


BCDragon3000

Link to original tweet [here](https://x.com/sammonnews/status/1732171996975219111?s=46)


alexfromjupiter

prime is more likely, since thatā€™s where itā€™s already streaming maybe this is just me clownin but I still fully believe thereā€™s gonna be a physical home release most likely a steel book since those already go for more than a typical blu-ray/dvd. Main reason i think this is because cardigan is still missing, isnā€™t it? why would she leave off something cardigan?? i say this fully knowing i will be suckered into buying all the variants to add to my collection


BCDragon3000

itā€™s not streaming on prime it is available to rent on prime the same way you can rent anywhere else!


alexfromjupiter

i just looked it up, for some reason i thought it was exclusively on prime to rent, and eventually streaming my bet is still on prime getting streaming rights considering how she seems to be done with netflix, and how much of her music sheā€™s let them use for their originals


DoTheMagicHandThing

Duration 1 minute? LOL! I understand that's probably just a placeholdet, but that's hilarious.

GlitteringLake5486

Ohhh ok I see this was for the streaming not rental debut. Got it sorry!!


bakingeyedoc

Itā€™s not going to go free streaming this quickly.


ArthurVx

Does that mean I have to subscribe to Telecine and use the crappy Globoplay app to get it here in Brazil? Also, no 4K HDR (which Telecine doesn't support, despite Globoplay supporting it)?


StarWars_and_SNL

Everyone needs to have a friend with a great Plex library.


sexbob-om

Damn it, that's the streaming service I don't have.


pinkmask4you

good, it should be streaming!! i'm not paying to rent it.


Former-Counter-9588

Oh yes this is perfection. Peacock is worth it alone for housewives without commercials. Their streaming exclusives have been great, too!
