Peacock Will Be the Streaming Home of ‘Jaws,’ “Bates Motel” and ‘Jurassic World 3’
Yet another new streaming service is entering the ring here in 2020, with NBCUniversal’s Peacock set to arrive on April 15th. Like most streaming services, Peacock will be home to both original content and pre-existing NBCUniversal movies and television shows, with original programming thus far including reboots of both “Saved By the Bell” and “Punky Brewster.”
On the horror front, Deadline reports this week that Peacock will have exclusive streaming rights to Universal’s film slate going forward, including 2021’s Jurassic World 3. Colin Trevorrow is directing the third installment in the Jurassic World trilogy, which will feature the returns of Sam Neill and Laura Dern, alongside Fallen Kingdom‘s Jeff Goldblum.
The new Jurassic film will roar into theaters on June 11, 2021.
Peacock will also be the place where you can stream “Bates Motel” and Jaws, but at this time we can’t be sure that those titles will be immediately available on the day of launch.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
