The fracturing of the streaming landscape has pulled another show into a deep, dark fissure that can only be accessed by another digital subscription . NBCU announced today that its new service, Peacock, will launch in April, and it will be the new exclusive home ofParks and Recreation. The show is currently available all over the place: Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime. But come October of next year, you’ll need Peacock if you want to visit all your friends in Pawnee.
As waspreviously reportedby Vulture, “the new service has also locked down deals for a slew of originals with ties to existing NBCU brands, including a reboot ofBattlestar Galacticaoverseen by Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot), revivals ofSaved by the BellandPunky Brewster, a comedy / talk show hosted byLate Night‘s Amber Ruffin, a new spinoff fromThe Real Housewivesuniverse, and a new comedy fromThe Good Place (creator Mike Schur starring) ************************ (The Office ‘) s Ed Helms. There’ll also be dozens of films from the Universal library, new animated shows from DreamWorks Animation, and even reruns ofDownton Abbey.“Peacock will also house30 Rock,Brooklyn Nine-Nine,Cheers,Frasier, and (Saturday Night Live) , but those titles won’t belong exclusively to the new service.
