This week on Peacock, you’ll find a little bit of everything: new movies just out of theaters, beloved animated classics, exciting action films, and a few spooky Halloween picks – perfect for a cozy movie night (or several!).
‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2025)
This new live-action version of the story continues the tale of Hiccup and Toothless as Vikings and dragons slowly learn to live together peacefully. Mason Thames and Nico Parker star in the film, with Dean DeBlois returning as director. The movie combines realistic creature effects with impressive visual effects and coastal locations to create exciting flying and action sequences. While staying true to the original story, it’s also designed to be enjoyed by those new to the world of Hiccup and Toothless. Currently, it’s the most-watched title on Peacock.
‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)
The new sequel brings back Allison Williams and Violet McGraw, building on the story of a killer robot companion. This time, the threat comes from competing artificial intelligence, and the film features larger-scale action sequences, all directed by Gerard Johnstone. The filmmakers used a combination of physical puppets and digital effects to create the robot’s unsettling movements. Viewers can choose between the theatrical and unrated versions, both of which are now streaming on Peacock and generating a lot of excitement.
‘Honey Don’t!’ (2025)
I was completely captivated by Ethan Coen’s latest! It’s a really clever, dark comedy about a private investigator whose life just completely unravels. The cast is incredible – Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans all shine. What I loved most was how quickly it moved, almost like a series of short stories, and the music was perfectly chosen to enhance the whole quirky vibe. It’s a surprisingly intimate film, focusing on the characters, and it’s great to see Peacock bringing films like this to the big screen. Honestly, it’s the perfect movie for a cozy night in – I watched it in one sitting and couldn’t recommend it more!
‘Haunted Wedding’ (2024)
A couple who hunt ghosts for a living are planning a wedding at a famously haunted inn, but their big day catches the attention of a ghost from the 1700s. The spirit mistakes the groom for her long-lost sweetheart. Starring Janel Parrish and Dominic Sherwood, and directed by Jeff Beesley with music by Jeff Tymoschuk, the movie blends a spooky mystery with a blossoming romance. As the couple investigates old journals and relics, they try to uncover the truth behind a tragedy from centuries ago. It’s a new release you can find this week on Peacock.
‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’ (2019)
The final film in the trilogy follows Hiccup and Toothless as they seek out a legendary safe haven, all while a dangerous dragon hunter pursues them. Dean DeBlois directs again, with Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera returning as voices, and John Powell’s music enhancing the exciting flight scenes. The movie stands out for its glowing landscapes and detailed animation of the dragons and other creatures. It’s currently one of the most popular titles on Peacock, alongside the live-action film.
‘The Grinch’ (2018)
The latest animated movie based on Dr. Seuss’s work, from Illumination, stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch. Pharrell Williams provides the narration. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, this version of the story adds new characters and features vibrant, modern animation. Danny Elfman composed the music, and the movie moves at a quick, enjoyable pace, making it perfect for families. It’s currently popular with Peacock subscribers and a great choice for getting into the holiday spirit early.
‘Furious 7’ (2015)
In this installment, director James Wan takes the series international as Deckard Shaw pursues Dom Toretto’s team through locations like Abu Dhabi, the Caucasus, and Los Angeles. The crew’s latest mission centers around protecting a hacker named Ramsey and controlling a powerful surveillance program called “God’s Eye,” leading to incredible stunts like cars falling from the sky and daring leaps between skyscrapers. The film was made using a combination of practical stunts and visual effects, and production continued after Paul Walker’s passing with the help of stand-ins and digital compositing. You can now stream it on Peacock as part of their rotating selection of movies.
‘The Cabin in the Woods’ (2012)
Drew Goddard’s horror film blends genres and centers on five friends trapped in a secluded cabin. Unbeknownst to them, technicians are secretly controlling what happens. The movie combines realistic creature effects with digital visuals, and is filled with nods to famous monsters and ancient stories. A surprise appearance by Sigourney Weaver in the final act helps explain the film’s central idea. Like other new releases, it will be available to stream on Peacock all at once, weekly.
‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1’ (2010)
Peacock is adding a new selection of movies, including this installment featuring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as they search for Horcruxes while trying to stay hidden. Directed by David Yates and written by Steve Kloves, the film takes a road-trip approach and builds tension for the series’ final battle. It’s part of a large group of titles arriving on the platform from late September to early October, and it’s a great pick for a magical movie weekend.
‘Scream’ (1996)
Wes Craven’s Scream is a clever horror film that follows Sidney Prescott as she’s stalked by a masked killer at her high school. The movie playfully references and subverts common horror movie tropes. Starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette, it’s famous for its terrifying phone calls (voiced by Roger L. Jackson) and fast-paced action. Scream breathed new life into the horror genre with its witty writing and is currently a popular choice to watch on Peacock, making it a great option for a late-night viewing.
