Peacock will be the exclusive streaming home for the Leprechaun franchise this St. Patrick’s Day.
Leprechaun, Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun in the Hood, Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, and Leprechaun: Origins will join the streamer on March 1.
Written and directed by Mark Jones, 1993’s Leprechaun stars Warwick Davis as the titular terror opposite Jennifer Aniston in her first feature role.
The story begins when Dan O’Grady steals 100 gold coins from a leprechaun while on vacation in Ireland. The leprechaun follows him home, but Dan locks the killer creature in a crate, held at bay by a four-leaf clover.
10 years later, J.D. Redding and his daughter, Tory, rent O’Grady’s property for the summer. When their new neighbors accidentally release the leprechaun, he goes on a murderous rampage to reclaim his gold.
The cult classic was followed by Rodman Flender’s Leprechaun 2 in 1994, Brian Trenchard-Smith’s Leprechaun 3 in 1995, Trenchard-Smith’s Leprechaun 4: In Space in 1997, Rob Spera‘s Leprechaun in the Hood in 2000, and Steven Ayromlooi’s Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood in 2003.
Leprechaun: Origins, a reboot in which WWE superstar Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl replaced Davis as the killer Leprechaun, was released in 2014. That one was helmed by future Final Destination Bloodlines co-director Zach Lipovsky.
The franchise’s most recent entry, 2018’s Leprechaun Returns, is not included on Peacock, but it’s currently available on YouTube TV.
The original Leprchaun is also coming to Steelbook 4K UHD and VHS and playing at Cinemark theaters on March 17.
If that’s not lucky enough, Trick or Treat Studios is releasing a Leprechaun 30″ ultimate doll, an 8″ scale action figure, and a deluxe injection mask later this year.
