Peacock Sizzles This Summer: Stream Bel-Air, The Fall Guy, Love Island & More

From Steph Curry to Po the Panda, the stars of summer are all streaming here.

By Benjamin Bullard

We may be well into August, but Peacock's simmering summer is just kicking into high gear. There's a super-stacked TV season coming to NBCU's streaming app, packed with tons of original content as well as star-studded movie blockbusters making their streaming premieres fresh from theaters.

Now that the dust has settled on the amazing 2024 Olympic Games, get set for an entire season's worth of binge-worthy movies, TV favorites, and Peacock exclusives... with all the action and laughs waiting right at your fingertips. 

Mr. Throwback (Streaming now)

NBA superstar Stephen Curry goes in front of the camera as the costar of the new Peacock comedy series Mr. Throwback. The Golden State Warriors great plays a kinda-fictional version of his title-winning self in the series, which reunites him with a long-lost sixth-grade B-ball teammate named Danny (played by Sonic the Hedgehog veteran Adam Pally). These days, Danny’s a memorabilia dealer, not an athlete like Steph — and call us crazy, but there’s something that seems just a little bit funky about the timing of the mismatched duo’s hilariously awkward grown-up reunion.

The Bikeriders (Streaming now)

Focus Features’ critically acclaimed peek into the close-knit vibes of 1960s motorcycle culture, The Bikeriders, just rode straight out of theaters and into your living room. Starring Austin Butler as a free-riding MC club leader, and told from the point of view of his ride-or-die girlfriend (played by Jodie Comer), The Bikeriders lives up to its open-road ethos with an all-star cast that includes Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, and Norman Reedus.

Bel-Air Season 3 (Streaming August 15)

Season 3 of the hit series Bel-Air returns to Peacock on August 15, with Will (Jabari Banks) striking out on all-new ventures alongside Carlton (Olly Sholotan), each aspiring for bigger dreams than acing the merely academic side of affluent high-school life.

Love Island USA — Season 6 Reunion (Streaming August 19)

Steph Curry’s not the only star who’s playing catch-up with the past this summer. Yep, your favorite islanders are all coming together once more on August 19, when Love Island USA sets the stage for a reality-TV rally with the hugely anticipated “Reunion” special that’s sure to pick up some of the dramatic threads left dangling in the wake of the recent Season 6 finale. Can love finally triumph… even if your name’s not Kordell or Serena?

The Killer (Streaming August 23)

Action master John Woo makes his Peacock movie debut as the director of The Killer, a radical reimagining of his same-named 1989 Hong Kong movie classic. Game of Thrones alum Nathalie Emmanuel stars as Zee (aka “Queen of the Dead”), an enigmatic assassin who ends up in all her competitors’ crosshairs after daring to show just a smidge of compassion while carrying out her latest kill. Also starring Sam Worthington (Avatar), Omar Sy (Jurassic World), and Diana Silvers (Booksmart), The Killer premieres exclusively on Peacock beginning August 23.

The Fall Guy + The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut (Streaming August 30)

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt bring action comedy in with a bang on August 30, when fans can pick their flavor in the dual streaming premiere of both The Fall Guy theatrical version or The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut. As a star-fueled ode to the adrenalized stunt actors who make movies like this one possible, the theatrical version naturally comes pre-loaded with plenty of kick. But The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut packs in an additional 20 minutes of gonzo material, seamlessly stitched together by director David Leitch (Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw) in an epic homage to the classic 1980s TV series that inspired it.

Kung Fu Panda 4 (Streaming now)

Po (Jack Black) is back for the cuddly attack in Kung Fu Panda 4, the latest installment in DreamWorks’ affectionately animated smack-’n’pow family franchise. Can our heroic hairball conquer all the lingering demons arising from his past to meet his ultimate destiny? Making the bird app its exclusive streaming home when it arrived from theaters in June, Kung Fu Panda 4 adds some new characters to its ever-expanding martial arts menagerie (including the sneaky fox-thief Zhen, voiced by Awkwafina), who tag along with Po on his most epic journey yet.

Those About to Die (Streaming now)

Get to know the cloak-and-dagger side of Ancient Rome’s decadent era in Those About to Die, the 10-part gladiatorial event series from event-movie mastermind Roland Emmerich (Independence Day). Featuring the iconic Anthony Hopkins as Roman Emperor Vespasian, Those About to Die dives deep behind the scenes of the gruesome family and political grit that helped power one of Rome’s most notoriously gory spectacles.

Abigail (Streaming now)

Take her size for granted and it’ll be your last mis-stake! Pint-sized vampire Abigail (Alisha Weir) picks off a posse of would-be ransom robbers with all the panache of a prima ballerina in Abigail, the horror-comedy hit that bears her name. Directed by dream horror duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream), Abigail is still fresh from theaters following its April 2024 release, and features a truly killer ensemble including Giancarlo Esposito, Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, Melissa Barrera, and Kevin Durand. Just be sure to watch out for those tiny fangs!
