These additions bring both thrills and exciting action to the platform, and continue to make December a great month for new content on Peacock.

‘Saw X’ (2023)

John Kramer, desperate for a cure for his cancer, travels to Mexico for an unproven medical treatment. He soon realizes it’s a fraud targeting sick people. The film then shows Kramer taking revenge on the scammers using his trademark, terrifying traps. Critics have applauded this new installment for focusing on what made the original movies so effective, making it a standout addition to the series.

‘Saw’ (2004)

Two people find themselves trapped in a run-down bathroom, realizing they’re part of a terrifying game created by a serial killer. The killer, known as Jigsaw, subjects his victims to brutal physical and mental challenges to see if they’ll fight for their survival. This low-budget horror movie unexpectedly became a worldwide hit, spawning a hugely popular film series. It’s now available to stream as part of a large content update.

‘Saw II’ (2005)

In the latest installment, Detective Eric Matthews faces a terrifying personal crisis when Jigsaw kidnaps his son, along with other captives. They’re forced to survive a house filled with deadly traps while a poisonous gas slowly threatens their lives. The film delves deeper into the story of John Kramer and features even more elaborate and intricate traps. It was released this December, offering fans another exciting chapter in the series.

‘Saw III’ (2006)

Jeff, a father struggling with loss, is put through a harrowing series of challenges that force him to confront forgiveness and revenge related to his son’s death. At the same time, the dying Jigsaw Killer depends on his protégé, Amanda, to carry on his cruel work. This chapter of the series is particularly impactful emotionally and delves into the complex dynamic between a mentor and their follower. Fans interested in understanding the franchise’s origins can now stream the film.

‘Saw IV’ (2007)

After John Kramer’s death, a cassette tape discovered during the autopsy suggests the Jigsaw games aren’t finished. Detective Rigg finds himself caught in a new wave of terrifying challenges, forcing him to confront his need to rescue everyone. The movie jumps between different time periods, revealing the history behind Jigsaw’s twisted beliefs and acting as a crucial link in the overall story of the series.

‘Saw V’ (2008)

A group of five people, each hiding a selfish act, find themselves caught in deadly traps designed as punishment. As they struggle to survive, Detective Hoffman tries to conceal his role as Jigsaw’s successor. The movie emphasizes how the investigation unfolds and the intricate details of the traps themselves. It’s one of several new horror films released this Friday.

‘Saw VI’ (2009)

Okay, so this movie really throws you into the world of insurance, and it’s intense! You see this executive, William Easton, basically having to decide who lives and dies based on company policy, which is just awful. Meanwhile, the cops – Special Agent Erickson and Detective Hoffman – are really starting to piece things together about Jigsaw, but they’re butting heads a lot while doing it. What I really loved about this one is that it actually makes you think about how messed up the healthcare system is and how greedy corporations can be. Plus, it keeps adding to the overall story in a really cool way – you can stream it now and see how it all connects!

‘Jigsaw’ (2017)

I was completely hooked by the new installment! It’s terrifying to see bodies start appearing all over the city, each death more disturbing and clearly echoing the style of Jigsaw. What’s really unsettling is that the original Jigsaw has been gone for years, so the police are stumped – is this a copycat? The story follows a fresh group of victims locked in a barn while detectives desperately try to figure out who’s behind it all. It’s fantastic to see this series back in action, and now we can all experience the horror at home!

‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ (2021)

A cunning criminal begins killing off dishonest police officers in the city. Detective Ezekiel Banks, along with his new partner, leads the investigation into these brutal crimes, which seem to be connected to events from the city’s history. This installment of the series emphasizes realistic police work and building suspense, offering a new look and a unique killer while still honoring the familiar story elements.

‘Polite Society’ (2023)

Okay, so I just finished watching this film, and it’s a really fun ride. It centers around Ria, a young woman training in martial arts, who’s determined to stop her sister Lena from going through with a marriage she feels isn’t right. She and her friends hatch this incredibly bold plan – basically, a wedding heist! What I really loved is how the movie seamlessly mixes vibrant British Pakistani culture with some seriously cool action and a healthy dose of humor. It’s a fresh take on the coming-of-age story and definitely worth checking out – it dropped on streaming earlier this week.
