Peacock is adding a variety of content to its library in September 2026, including popular films and the second season of a critically acclaimed original series. While some anticipated titles remain further out, the streaming service will offer a mix of Universal Pictures movies, NBC programming, and Peacock Originals.
Among the notable releases is the time-traveling horror film Happy Death Day, arriving on September 1. The movie, praised for its entertaining twists and a strong performance by Jessica Rothe, offers a fun way to kick off the spooky season. Critics described it as "a deliciously wicked treat with fun twists and a strong lead performance by Jessica Rothe. It won’t scare you, but it will entertain you with a cynical sense of humor and a few clever new twists on a familiar formula."
Also available from September 1 are all five Twilight films. While the initial adaptation is often noted for its shortcomings, it was a significant launchpad for Robert Pattinson. The subsequent films in the franchise saw improvements, making it a popular choice for rewatching.
The Paper Returns for Season 2
The mockumentary-style TV series The Paper, set in the same universe as The Office, will premiere its second season on September 9. This marks the most significant Peacock Original release for the month. Season 1 of the series received an 8 out of 10 rating, with praise for its adherence to a tried-and-true formula, relatable character archetypes, and an underlying sense of positivity. The initial season was noted for potentially moving too quickly due to its binge-stream era format, but the review highlighted satisfying plot points and humor.
Wes Anderson's latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, is set to arrive on September 25. Described as a whirlwind comedy, the film stars Benicio del Toro as a 1950s European robber baron. While it features the visual invention and humor characteristic of Anderson's work, some reviews suggest it might be his slighter offering in recent years, with a character that lacks the depth of those in The Royal Tenenbaums.
Beyond these highlights, Peacock's September schedule includes the finale of The Real Housewives of London and The Kelly Clarkson Show, as well as new seasons for The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show Podcast and The Great American Journey. Other notable additions include The Last Voyage of Demeter, The 78th Emmy Awards, and new seasons of Flipping Out. The month will also see the premieres of The Voice, Saturday Night Live, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
