Whether you’re in the mood for a legal thriller, a dating show, or a brand new medical drama, Peacock offers both reliable favorites and fresh content to keep you entertained.
We’re listing key details about each show, starting with number 10 and counting down to number 1. You’ll get a quick overview of the story, learn about the main actors and creators, and find other helpful information to help you decide what to watch next.
10. ‘The Rainmaker’ (2025– )
As a big fan of legal thrillers, I really enjoyed ‘The Rainmaker’. It’s based on the John Grisham novel and follows Rudy Baylor, a rookie lawyer who takes on a huge insurance company after they wrongly deny a claim. The movie isn’t just about the courtroom drama though; it’s about how Rudy builds relationships with his clients and gets guidance from more experienced lawyers while he investigates the case. It unfolds like a long, detailed story, with twists and turns revealed as the trial progresses.
Lionsgate Television is producing this series for USA Network. Michael Seitzman wrote and is the showrunner, and episodes are available to stream on Peacock. Originally planned for release in 2025, the show adapts the novel’s legal thriller plot for television, featuring ongoing characters like Rudy, the opposing lawyer, and important witnesses both in and out of the courtroom as the investigation unfolds.
9. ‘Brilliant Minds’ (2025– )
Okay, so ‘Brilliant Minds’ is this really intriguing medical show I just heard about. It follows Dr. Oliver Wolf, a neurologist, and his team as they tackle some incredibly rare and complicated brain disorders. It’s not just about figuring out *what’s* wrong, though. The show really dives into the ethical gray areas and the personal struggles of both the doctors and their patients. Each episode features a new, fascinating case, but there’s also a bigger, ongoing story unfolding with the main characters. It sounds like a really compelling mix of medical mystery and character drama!
Led by Zachary Quinto, this NBC series was developed by Michael Grassi and draws inspiration from the fascinating case studies of neurologist Oliver Sacks. Produced by Universal Television, the show is also available the next day on Peacock. The writers skillfully adapt real neurological cases into compelling and easy-to-follow stories.
8. ‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ (2011–2013; 2021– )
‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ showcases the lives of women like Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Alexia Nepola, Julia Lemigova, Guerdy Abraira, and Dr. Nicole Martin as they navigate their careers, love lives, and the glamorous social circles of South Florida. The show is known for its lavish parties, connections to the art world, and dramatic cast trips where friendships and loyalties are constantly tested.
The show first aired on Bravo, then moved to Peacock from 2021 to 2023 before returning to Bravo in 2023 and continuing to air there. Created by Purveyors of Pop, each season follows the drama through get-togethers hosted by Andy Cohen, personal interviews with the cast, and appearances from their friends.
7. ‘The Voice’ (2011– )
“The Voice” is a singing competition that starts with “Blind Auditions,” where coaches choose their teams based on voice alone, without seeing the singers. Contestants then compete in Battles and Knockouts, leading to live shows where viewers vote to decide the winner. Throughout the U.S. seasons, coaches have included stars like Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper, and Dan + Shay. Carson Daly has been the show’s host for many years.
Inspired by the popular show ‘The Voice of Holland’ created by John de Mol, this production is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, MGM Television, and Talpa/ITV America.

Created by Sharp Entertainment for WE tv, the show has led to popular spin-offs like ‘Life After Lockup’ and ‘Love During Lockup,’ letting viewers continue following the stories. Matt Sharp and Alan Madison are among the executive producers, and the series uses a reality-TV style, mixing real footage with interviews to develop each storyline.

4. ‘Law & Order’ (1990–2010; 2022– )
The original ‘Law & Order’ series uniquely blends police investigations with the legal process. Each episode is divided into two parts: the first follows detectives as they investigate a crime and gather evidence, while the second focuses on the District Attorney’s office and the subsequent courtroom trial. The show has featured many actors over the years, including Michael Moriarty and Chris Noth, and was later known for Sam Waterston’s portrayal of Jack McCoy, working alongside a changing team of detectives and Assistant District Attorneys.

Created for Bravo and produced by Evolution Media, the show featured executive producers like Andy Cohen, Douglas Ross, and Alex Baskin. It was the first of the ‘Real Housewives’ series and set the standard for how the show is made – including personal confessionals, memorable taglines, and dramatic reunion episodes – all of which are now hallmarks of the franchise across different cities.

Love Island Games brings together former contestants from various international versions of Love Island. They live in a villa and compete in challenges, all while forming new relationships, facing recouplings, and avoiding elimination.
