Battlestar Galactica, Saved By The Bell Reboots Headed To NBC’s Streaming Service Peacock

Disney has already come out swinging with details of their Disney+ streaming service, Apple has also done so with their Apple TV+ service, and even WarnerMedia is ahead of the curve with HBO Max, meaning that the media giants are coming together. But there’s at least one missing, right? I’m talking about NBCUniversal, one company who has mentioned their service, but haven’t been too vocal about specific details.

Until now. It has been announced that their new streaming service, called Peacock, will launch in April 2020, and will feature 15,000 hours of content at launch.

Peacock will also feature reboots of shows like Battlestar Galactica (from Mr. Robot’s Sam Esmail), Saved by the Bell (from Great News’ Tracey Wigfield), and Punky Brewster. It will also feature another Psych movie, and Rutherford Falls from The Good Place’s Mike Schur.

“The name Peacock pays homage to the quality content that audiences have come to expect from NBCUniversal — whether it’s culture-defining dramas from innovative creators like Sam Esmail, laugh-out-loud comedies from legends like Lorne Michaels and Mike Schur, blockbusters from Universal Pictures, or buzzy unscripted programming from the people who do it best at Bravo and E!,” said Bonnie Hammer, chairman of direct-to-consumer and digital enterprises. “Peacock will be the go-to place for both the timely and timeless — from can’t-miss Olympic moments and the 2020 election, to classic fan favorites like The Office.”

In addition to The Office, Peacock will also have the fan-favorite Parks and Recreation, so it’s clear in this case that a new challenger has indeed emerged.

There are no pricing decisions that have been revealed just yet, but if you subscribe to Comcast, you will be getting it free.
