Peacock isn’t coasting into the summer slowdown—July’s lineup is built to keep you indoors when the thermostat hits triple digits. The streamer is threading three big needles at once: expanding its evergreen movie vault, doubling down on unscripted hits that drive nightly conversation, and rolling out buzzy originals anchored by marquee talent.
Originals That Move the Needle
- “Drop” (July 11) – Blumhouse leans into techno-paranoia with a first-date thriller that plays like Collateral by way of Unfriended. Meghann Fahy’s widowed single mom endures an escalating series of phone “drops” from a masked intruder—each command more twisted than the last. Director Christopher Landon reportedly shot much of the action in real Los Angeles locations on stealth rigs to heighten the “this could happen to you” dread.
- “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” (premieres July 13, then Thursdays) – The first official Love Island spin-off follows Season 6 alumni as they navigate post-villa fame in L.A. Think The Hills energy with Peacock’s signature binge-and-buzz release cadence.
- “Twisted Metal” Season 2 (July 31) – Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz roar back in a season built around the in-universe demolition-derby tournament. New villain Calypso (Anthony Carrigan) promises bigger arena set-pieces, while game-lore favorites Dollface and Mr. Grimm finally roll onto the screen.
- “Survival Mode” (July 8) – NBC’s newest competition import drops day-and-date on Peacock, pitting urban preppers against wilderness pros in a hybrid skills gauntlet filmed across three biomes. Early buzz says it scratches the Alone itch but with a network-TV budget.
- Finale Fever – Natasha Lyonne’s Poker Face ends its sophomore run July 10 with a Vegas-set bottle episode, and Love Island USA Season 7 crowns its winning couple on July 13—mere hours before Beyond the Villa launches.
Library Flex: A 90s-to-2000s Movie Dump
Universal is raiding its vault on July 1, dropping more than 60 titles. Highlights include “Goodfellas,” “Titanic,” “Airplane!,” “Dazed and Confused,” “Twister,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” “Legally Blonde,” “Forrest Gump,” and all three Rambo films. It’s the most aggressive single-day movie infusion Peacock has attempted since launch, timed to catch cord-cutters looking for comfort rewatches over the holiday weekend.
What’s Not Here Yet—But Worth Tracking
- The Paper—Greg Daniels’ mockumentary set in The Office universe—officially bows in September. July’s marketing push will likely include a Comic-Con sneak peek.
- Keke Palmer’s “The Burbs” remains TBA for 2025-26, but insiders say early episodes just locked picture, making a winter drop plausible.

How Peacock Compares with Other Streaming Platforms in July 2025
As streaming competition heats up in July 2025, Peacock positions itself with unique content offerings while competing platforms roll out their summer lineups. The streaming landscape shows distinct patterns in release strategies and exclusive content.
Peacock vs. Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video
Peacock’s July lineup appears modest compared to Netflix’s heavy-hitting releases. While Peacock focuses on NBCUniversal content and Olympics coverage, Netflix leads with major sequels like “The Old Guard 2” and “Happy Gilmore 2” this month. These high-profile releases demonstrate Netflix’s continued investment in franchise development.
Hulu maintains its steady approach with weekly episodic releases rather than Peacock’s tendency toward full-season drops. Their documentary slate outpaces Peacock’s offerings in July.
Prime Video counters with star-studded action-comedy “Heads of State” featuring John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra. Prime’s higher budget productions contrast with Peacock’s more focused catalog.
Peacock’s price advantage remains significant – it’s more affordable than Max, Hulu, and even Netflix’s ad-supported tier. However, Peacock captures only 1.4% of U.S. TV screen time compared to Netflix’s much larger share.
Highlights from Disney+, Apple TV+, and Paramount+
Disney+ focuses on family entertainment this July with animated releases and Star Wars content that targets a different demographic than Peacock’s adult-oriented comedies and dramas. Their Marvel content continues to draw subscribers away from smaller services.
Apple TV+ maintains its quality-over-quantity approach with fewer but highly-produced originals. Their limited July slate features acclaimed directors and A-list talent, setting them apart from Peacock’s broader but less prestigious offerings.
Paramount+ and Peacock demonstrate interesting potential synergies. Industry analysts have noted that a potential Max-Peacock combination would serve 79.56 million high-ARPU customers in the US and Canada, second only to Netflix’s 89.63 million. This highlights Peacock’s position as a potential merger candidate.
Peacock’s Olympics coverage provides a temporary advantage, though Disney+ and Apple TV+ counter with their own exclusive sports programming initiatives.
Upcoming Releases Across Major Networks and Streaming Services
The broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox) maintain lighter summer schedules while Peacock benefits from NBC’s content pipeline. Peacock will eventually become the streaming home for several blockbuster films including “Jurassic World Rebirth,” “M3GAN 2.0,” and “Wicked: For Good.”
Cable networks like Bravo, USA, and SYFY continue feeding content to Peacock, creating a competitive advantage in reality TV and science fiction genres compared to other platforms.
Specialty streamers maintain their niche appeal: Crunchyroll dominates anime, Acorn TV leads in British content, and Sundance Now attracts independent film enthusiasts. Peacock attempts to compete across these categories rather than specializing.
Upcoming Major Releases (July 2025)
| Platform | Notable Releases |
|---|---|
| Peacock | Olympics coverage, “Jurassic World Rebirth” (coming soon) |
| Netflix | “The Old Guard 2”, “Happy Gilmore 2” |
| Prime Video | “Heads of State” |
| Disney+ | Star Wars and Marvel content |
| Paramount+ | Star Trek franchise expansions |
