Looking for New Episodes of “Chucky” on Peacock? Here’s What Changed

Chucky Peacock

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this week’s episode of “Chucky” Season 3, which aired on USA and SYFY last night and was expected to be available on Peacock today. After all, we had previously been told that all new episodes of “Chucky” would be available for streaming the day after they aired, an exciting change from previous seasons of the hit horror series.

And while last week’s mid-season premiere of “Chucky” indeed did arrive on Peacock last Thursday, this week’s episode – titled “Panic Room” – is currently missing from the service.

So what’s going on here? The official @PeacockTVCare customer service account over on Twitter has been responding to fans who are wondering why they can’t stream this week’s episode of “Chucky” on Peacock, and their answer indicates a shift from the original plan.

They write, “New episodes of ‘Chucky’ Season 3 will be available on Peacock 7 days after they air on Syfy.”

That means that “Panic Room” won’t be available for streaming on Peacock until Wednesday, April 24, the same day the second-to-last episode of Season 3 arrives on USA and SYFY.

This a huge bummer for all the cord cutters out there, and anyone who’s unable to watch new episodes of “Chucky” as they air live on USA and/or SYFY. The show’s Peacock strategy has been wildly all over the place from the beginning, but it’s especially strange to have been promised next-day streaming only for the plan to suddenly change without any warning.

Just two more episodes remain in the back half of “Chucky” Season 3, which was split in half as a result of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The final two episodes, “There Will Be Blood” and “Final Destination,” will be airing on April 24 and May 1, which means you can expect “There Will Be Blood” on Peacock May 1 and “Final Destination” on Peacock May 8.

A shame, considering these final three episodes are BONKERS in the best of ways.

UPDATE – 4/20/2024: It looks like Peacock has reversed the change, and will now once again be adding new episodes of “Chucky” to Peacock the day after they air!

Discovery Channel has announced this week that WWE superstar / “Peacemaker” star John Cena will be hosting “Shark Week,” which has been lighting up your summer since 1988.

Discovery previews, “Shark Week hosted by John Cena promises to be an electrifying and unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe of the world beneath the waves.

“One of the highlights of this week-long event will be the premiere of Belly of the Beast Pt. 2, an intense and eye-opening show that delves into the world of great white shark feeding frenzies. You can also look forward to Monster Hammerhead: Species X, a captivating exploration of a potential new species of hammerhead sharks!

And speaking of sharks, a whole lot of brand new shark attack horror movies are in the works here in 2024. Lizzy Greene is starring in High Tide and Sean Byrne is directing Dangerous Animals, for starters, while Tommy Wirkola is making his own untitled shark movie.

Also don’t forget about Netflix’s Under Paris, a shark attack horror movie from French filmmaker Xavier Gens that’s premiering on the streaming service on June 5, 2024.
