@Source: hollywoodreporter.com
Peacock doesn’t have Olympics this summer, but it will have plenty of programming.
The NBCUniversal streaming service has greenlit five new unscripted series and is bringing another one over from E!. New shows include a pair of true crime docuseries, reality shows featuring Tiffany Haddish and Nelly and Ashanti, and a docuseries about Universal’s theme parks. In addition, Peacock is pulling House of Villains, hosted by Joel McHale, off of E! and onto streaming for an all-new season coming “early 2026.”
The Haddish docuseries, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off, follows the comedian and three of her closest friends as they embark on a four-week girls’ trip across Africa. That one comes out in the fall. Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together, a June release, charts newlywed life for the hip-hop couple.
A three-part investigation into the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer from 50 Cent’s G-Unit Productions premieres in June, and a dive into the University of Idaho murders will join the platform this summer. A third docuseries, hopefully one with no murder at all, “celebrates the history and legacy of Universal Destinations & Experiences.” Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks will have a “binge release” with all three episodes available to stream on July 24.
As previously announced, there will be a new season of Love Island USA on June 3, Love Island Games in late 2025 and a new Love Island spinoff, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, this summer. Married at First Sight moves to Peacock later this year in time for season 19, and a new season of The Traitors will stream early next year.
