Every one of the five Twilight movies hits Peacock in September. Read into that what you like, but the scheduling is intentional — and so is almost everything else on the streamer’s calendar this month.
The September lineup from Peacock draws on a blend that subscribers to the NBCUniversal-backed service will find familiar: originals, network staples, reality hits and a run of new films spaced out over the month. Fall shows up, the cozy movies come along for the ride, and a few TV premieres round out the rest.
The Office spinoff comes back
A second season of The Paper arrives, making it one of Peacock’s headline returns for the month. Like it or not, the spinoff still carries its predecessor’s shadow.
There’s fresh scripted material as well. Line of Fire stars Peter Krause, whose casting brings him back to NBC after years at a different network.
Civilians get their shot at The Traitors
The franchise expands this month with The Traitors: New Blood, which swaps the usual lineup for civilian players. The rules hold; the scope changes.
Format changes like this one tend to go one of two ways for a reality series — a fresh jolt of energy, or proof of just how much the show depended on famous faces. September should settle it.
Bravo keeps the lights on
Still Flipping Out brings Jeff Lewis back, and several Real Housewives franchises return with new seasons. As ever, Bravo fans are taken care of.
The month splits more or less evenly between the Bravosphere and the scripted offerings, so nobody’s being forced to choose a side.
The movie side of the ledger
The full Twilight saga lands at once. All of the films, dropped precisely as the weather shifts and watching Bella brood across the Pacific Northwest starts to seem like a defensible way to spend a night.
Peacock is also rolling out a group of new movies across September, staggered through the month instead of arriving in one batch.
What the month actually looks like
With returning scripted shows, the reality lineup and the film additions combined, most viewing habits are accounted for. That’s the sales pitch, and the schedule largely delivers on it this time.
Peacock has a full month ahead in September. Tucked somewhere inside it, five Twilight movies sit waiting.
