January 2026 is nearly here, believe it or not. If one of your New Year's resolutions is to find something great to watch, you're going to want to high-tail it over to Peacock. There, you'll find plenty of reasons to settle in and start the year with something exciting, whether you’re looking for thrills, chills, or something fun for the kids.

Peacock is set to expand its film lineup with the addition of Ad Astra, the 2019 sci-fi movie drama starring Brad Pitt as an astronaut. Originally released on 2019, the film has since gained wider following.

Bugonia,” Emma Stone’s latest collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos, is coming to streaming on Peacock this week. Find out when you can watch the new alien invasion comedy at home.

Peacock’s new launch ads, however, represent a more disruptive type of ad that places another barrier between subscribers and content. With Peacock opening the door, other streaming services may also consider adopting more disruptive ad formats as more people turn to ad-supported streaming services due to rising subscription prices.

During a press briefing, Peacock parent company NBCUniversal showed off how these “arrival ads” might look. One image shows your profiles stacked vertically on the left side of the screen, while an ad for Capital One takes up almost the entire screen. Another swaps the Capital One ad for an image showing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
