Peacock is home to some of the most addictive original reality series out there, including The Traitors, Love Island and House of Villains. It’s also the streaming home to Bravo franchises like The Real Housewives, The Valley and Top Chef. But even though the platform boasts a great roster of unscripted TV, you can also find incredible scripted shows, too, including the darkly funny Poker Face, dramas like All Her Fault and more.
With its vast library that spans every genre, and an expanding slate of original and exclusive content, it seems like there’s always something new to try, or old favorites to binge. This April, some of Peacock’s most beloved franchises and faces are back: there are new seasons of The Valley and The Real Housewives of Atlanta dropping soon, and a new season of Love Island: Beyond The Villa arriving on April 15, too. Or check out Succession star Matthew Macfadyen in The Miniature Wife as a man who shrinks his wife (Elizabeth Banks) by accident.
