Peacock’s Free-to-Stream TV Shows Include “The Munsters” and Original “Unsolved Mysteries”
Earlier today we talked about the many horror movies that are currently free-to-stream through NBCUniversal’s just-launched Peacock, which include Universal and Hammer monster movie classics along with more recent fan favorites such as Body Bags, The Exorcist III and Tales from the Hood. But what about the horror *television* you can stream for free, you ask?
For starters, all seventy episodes (two seasons) of the classic TV series “The Munsters” are currently streaming on Peacock, taking you back to 1313 Mockingbird Lane free of charge.
Additionally, twelve seasons of the original Robert Stack-hosted run of “Unsolved Mysteries” are up for free streaming, the perfect companion to Netflix’s brand new reboot series.
You’ll also find seven seasons of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” on Peacock, with three seasons of “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour” available with a Premium subscription upgrade.
At this time, Premium upgrades range from $4.99/month to $9.99/month. Otherwise, Peacock is completely free of charge and doesn’t even require a credit card to sign up.
Other genre-related shows streaming on Peacock include Syfy’s “Face Off” along with “Ghost Hunters International,” “Paranormal Witness” and the animated series “The Mummy.”

AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
