All five Twilight movies land on Peacock in September. Make of that what you will, but the timing is deliberate, and so is nearly everything else on the streamer’s schedule this month.
Peacock’s September slate leans on a mix subscribers to the NBCUniversal-backed platform should recognize: original series, network favorites, reality hits and a batch of new movies spread across the month. Fall arrives, the cozy movies arrive with it, and a handful of TV debuts fill in the gaps.
The Office spinoff comes back
The Paper returns for a second season, and it’s one of the month’s biggest Peacock returns. The spinoff carries the weight of its predecessor whether it wants to or not.
New scripted work shows up too. Peter Krause headlines Line of Fire, which marks his return to NBC after years spent on another network.
Civilians get their shot at The Traitors
The Traitors: New Blood joins the franchise this month, putting civilians into the game rather than the usual roster. Same rules, different scope.
It’s the kind of format tweak that either reinvigorates a reality show or exposes exactly how much it was leaning on celebrity casting. September will tell.
Bravo keeps the lights on
Jeff Lewis returns with Still Flipping Out, and Real Housewives franchises come back for new seasons. Bravo lovers are covered, as usual.
The Bravosphere and the scripted side split the month roughly down the middle, which means the platform isn’t asking anyone to pick a lane.
The movie side of the ledger
The Twilight saga arrives in full. Every film, all at once, timed to the exact moment the weather turns and rewatching Bella brood in the Pacific Northwest starts to feel like a reasonable use of an evening.
Beyond that, Peacock is adding a batch of new movies throughout September rather than dumping them in a single drop.
What the month actually looks like
Between the returning scripted series, the reality slate and the movie additions, there’s something here for most viewing habits. That’s the pitch, and this time the schedule mostly backs it up.
September will be a busy month on Peacock. And somewhere in it, five Twilight movies are waiting.
