NBCUniversal Unveils Originals Available at Launch of Peacock

On Thursday, NBCUniversal, the studio arm of Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), announced its slate of original programming that will be available to users of streaming service Peacock when it launches on July 15. Viewers will be treated to nine original series or movies, with content ranging from kid-friendly to conspiracy thrillers.

Peacock superficially looks a lot like Netflix or Tubi, offering watchers a variety of televised entertainment. There are differences between Peacock and other streaming services, however. Chiefly, Peacock is the first such service from a major network and studio that will be offered in an ad-supported, free-to-use format. NBCUniversal will include some of its conventional programming in Peacock's library but has opted to create originals to steer consumers toward the streaming option.
