Obsession Lands on Peacock After Record-Setting Low-Budget Box Office

Obsession, Curry Barker’s romantic horror made on under $1 million, is headed to Peacock on July 17 after a blockbuster theatrical run that pushed its box-office total toward the $405 million mark. The film’s extraordinary ROI and a 60-day window—short by modern standards—are highlighted as it moves to streaming. The piece also covers a New York Times report alleging The Chosen’s equity crowdfunding structure squeezed out minority investors in a controversial cash-out and reverse stock split, a claim disputed by 5&2 co-founder Dallas Jenkins, while noting The Chosen’s high revenue projections and enterprise value. A separate interview quote from J.K. Simmons about Batgirl’s cancellation is also mentioned.

Garner Shines Through Grief in Peacock's The Five-Star Weekend

Jennifer Garner leads a grief-stricken Hollis in Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend, a Nantucket-set drama that mixes heartfelt sorrow with humor, buoyed by Timothy Olyphant's roguish charm and strong supporting work. The IndieWire review praises Garner’s range and the ensemble, noting the show lands best when it embraces light moments over melodrama. The eight-episode series premieres July 9 on Peacock, with all episodes released at once, and the critic gives it a C+ grade.

Peacock’s Five-Star Weekend: A Snackable, Low-Stakes TV Treat

Peacock’s Five-Star Weekend: A Snackable, Low-Stakes TV Treat

Peacock’s adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s The Five Star Weekend trims the book’s plots and Nantucket class-conscious detail in favor of a glossy, snackable domestic-drama vibe led by Jennifer Garner, D’Arcy Carden, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan, and Chloë Sevigny. It’s entertaining and cozy rather than a mother-thriller or murder mystery, but it sacrifices the novel’s food-writing depth and social nuance for a lighter viewing experience.

Telemundo's World Cup Boost: Ratings Surge Across TV and Peacock

Telemundo’s coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has delivered a massive ratings boost across TV and Peacock, with the group stage averaging 9.65 million viewers per match across English- and Spanish-language platforms — a 105% rise from 2022 — while Telemundo’s linear audience is up about 73%. Peacock accounted for roughly 44% of the Spanish-language audience, as Mexico’s games cross the 10‑million mark and a June 18 match vs. South Korea hit 14 million, a new Spanish-language U.S. record. Executives credit strategic planning, expanded Spanish-speaking on-air talent, and a strong streaming experience for driving the surge, with early-round results signaling continued record-level viewership.

Peacock goes solo: can it survive as a standalone streamer?

Comcast’s plan to spin NBCUniversal away from its broadband and wireless units puts Peacock on its own, forcing profitability and scale without the corporate backing; even with exclusive live sports and new features, it remains US-only with about 46 million subs and lags rivals, and an update notes it was offered for free to some Xfinity subscribers. Analysts wonder about future M&A as Peacock fights to stand out in a crowded streaming market.

Comcast to Spin NBCUniversal into Standalone Firms

Comcast to Spin NBCUniversal into Standalone Firms

Comcast will spin off NBCUniversal into two independent, publicly traded companies, separating NBCU from Comcast's cable and broadband operations. NBCU will keep Sky, the Universal film studio, the theme parks and the Peacock streaming service, while Comcast retains a 19.9% stake in NBCU for the first year to help pay down debt. The executives say the move will unlock focus, speed and strategic flexibility for two standalone firms and is not a merger. NBCU has expanded sports investments such as an NBA rights deal and Peacock is expected to approach profitability in the coming years.

Comcast to Split NBCUniversal Into Standalone Public Media Company

Comcast to Split NBCUniversal Into Standalone Public Media Company

Comcast announced it will spin off NBCUniversal’s TV, film and streaming assets—including NBC, Telemundo, Peacock, NBC News, Bravo, Universal Pictures, Sky, Universal Studios and theme parks—into a new standalone, publicly traded company next year, leaving Comcast focused on distribution. The move follows the Versant spin-off and comes as cord-cutting and Peacock losses pressure NBCU’s value. A stand-alone NBCUniversal could become an acquisition target, and Comcast will retain about 19% of the new entity while leadership for NBCUniversal remains with Mike Cavanaugh; the timing around the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is noted as a potential milestone.

Love Island USA: French fries code word signals intimate moments in the villa

Love Island USA contestants are using French fries as a discreet sexual code word; Kenzie Annis admitted she and Corbin Mims had been intimate in the villa, with the term likely referring to manual or oral sex; the slang appears to be part of a broader pattern of coded language around sex on the show, similar to Love Island UK’s use of cryptic phrases like a “full English breakfast.”

Peacock Drops Espionage Drama Ponies After One Season

Peacock has canceled Ponies after a single season. The Cold War-era espionage drama, headlined by Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson as Bea and Twila, followed two embassy workers who become CIA operatives after their husbands’ deaths. Despite largely positive reviews, the series did not crack Nielsen’s top streaming originals after its January 15 binge release, and was produced by Universal Television.
