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 such as The Real Housewives, Summer House and Top Chef. But even though the platform boasts a fantastic roster of unscripted TV, you can also find incredible scripted shows, including the darkly funny Poker Face, dramas such as All Her Fault and more.
With its vast library spanning 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 month, one of the biggest new originals to hit the platform is The Five Star Weekend, a new series starring Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, D’Arcy Carden, Chloe Sevigny and Gemma Chan as friends who meet for a weekend in Nantucket. (Garner’s 13 Going on 30 co-star Judy Greer pops up in the show, too!)
Also out this month, you can catch a new season of Married at First Sight, plus great movies including Black Bag, Jaws and more. Here’s a look at the titles we’re excited to check out on Peacock in July 2026.
July 1
It’s a summer rite of passage at this point for at least one of the major streaming services to carry Jaws, the quintessential summer blockbuster. This year, Peacock is dropping not just the 1975 original, but all three sequels, too: Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D and Jaws: The Revenge. Listen, none of the follow-ups are as good as the original, but each one is a summer vibe. The films arrive on Peacock on July 1, just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July with the terrorized residents of Amity.
July 2
From its logline, Black Bag sounds like a fun crime thriller about a British intelligence officer, George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), who suspects his wife (Cate Blanchett), also a spy, might be a traitor and starts trailing her to gather proof. But director Steven Soderbergh paints the film with his signature brushstrokes, making it stylish and sexy thanks to moody lighting and killer chemistry between the two leads. The tension is palpable throughout. The film, which came out in 2025 and was a personal favorite of ours last year, is available exclusively on Peacock starting July 2.
July 4
Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular 2026
Jaws isn’t the only summer viewing tradition you can catch on Peacock this month. The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular is back for its 50th year. The first one was a celebration of the nation’s bicentennial in 1976, and this time it’ll be more festive than ever as America commemorates its 250th birthday. 85,000 fireworks shells in 30 different colors will illuminate the sky over New York City, and the broadcast will feature performances from Noah Kahan, Post Malone, Bebe Rexha, Salt-N-Pepa, Shaboozey, Blake Shelton and The Voice winner Alexia Jayy. Peacock and NBC will simulcast the fireworks show on July 4 starting at 8 p.m. ET.
July 9
The Five Star Weekend might be the biggest Peacock Original to land on the streamer this July, if we’re talking sheer star power. The series, which is a beach read in TV form, is based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel and stars Jennifer Garner as Hollis Shaw, a woman who invites four friends, played by D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall and Chloë Sevigny, to her Nantucket home for a lavish weekend away. But there are secrets buried deep in these friendships, and you know they’re bound to come out. All eight episodes of the series will be released at once on July 9.
July 10
Reminders of Him is another title based on a best-seller. This one is adapted from Colleen Hoover’s book and stars Maika Monroe as Kenna, a woman who has just been released on parole after serving six years for vehicular manslaughter, the result of an accident that killed her boyfriend. Now living in her boyfriend’s hometown, she attempts to reconnect with his family, who have been raising her daughter, and finds unlikely support from his best friend (Tyriq Withers). The cast also includes Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford. The film arrives exclusively on Peacock on July 10.
July 12
Married at First Sight (Season 20)
One of the most extreme reality dating shows out there, Married At First Sight features couples whose very first meeting is at the altar, and they see where things go from there. The series spent 18 seasons on A&E before moving over to Peacock, where the 20th season will arrive on July 12.
