If you're looking for a show on Peacock and have already filled up on NBC and Bravo favorites, the streaming service has several highly rated originals sitting in its catalog.
Peacock hiked prices last summer, but if you're keeping the streaming service in your rotation, you should make time to watch these 14 standout shows. Ad-supported Peacock runs $11 a month or $110 a year, and you can also check out a bundle of Peacock and Apple TV.
Euan Cherry/Peacock The Traitors (2023- ) Four seasons of deception in, The Traitors' mix of reality TV personalities, creative challenges and secret identities is still extremely enjoyable. Based on the Dutch reality series De Verraders, the show rounds up cunning game-players who try to win a cash prize by succeeding in challenges and identifying the "traitors" among them. Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming, backstabbers in the group who aren't outed in time take all the moolah. See at Peacock
Katalin Vermes/Peacock Ponies (2026- ) You might know Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson from Game of Thrones and The White Lotus, but now they're starring together in this 1970s-set spy thriller series on Peacock. Ponies is a standout for its engrossing action and comedy, and for Clarke and Richardson's likable CIA operatives who begin to uncover a Cold War conspiracy. See at Peacock
Marcell Piti/Carnival Film & Television Limited The Day of the Jackal (2024- ) If a 10-episode show with Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, elaborate assassinations and a cat-and-mouse game sounds like a binge you want to go on, this thriller awaits. Redmayne plays an assassin who can hide his identity like a chameleon and execute targets from more than 2 miles away. Lashana Lynch stars as a British intelligence officer attempting to stop him. You can look forward to a second season of the show, which reimagines the 1971 novel and 1973 film of the same name. See at Peacock
Aaron Epstein/Peacock The Paper (2025- ) A new show set in the same universe as the beloved comedy The Office understandably comes with high expectations. Peacock's Office spinoff, The Paper, features the same documentary crew and cast member Oscar Martinez, played by Oscar Nuñez, but that's pretty much the extent of the blatant similarities. A fresh cast, setting and plot centered on a newcomer trying to revitalize a dying Midwestern newspaper make this amusing entry worth watching. See at Peacock
James Dittiger/Peacock Laid (2024) If you like dark comedies or are a fan of Everything Everywhere All at Once star Stephanie Hsu, look no further than this hilarious half-hour show. Hsu plays a 33-year-old woman who learns that her exes are dying and she has to inform her past lovers and attempt to figure out the cause. Girls actress Zosia Mamet stars as her helpful, true-crime-loving best friend. See at Peacock
Peacock Poker Face (2023-25) What if you could always tell when someone is lying? That's the talent possessed by Natasha Lyonne's Charlie in Poker Face, a 10-episode detective series created by Knives Out writer and director Rian Johnson. Each episode introduces a crime and wraps things up before the next entry starts. With the charisma of Russian Doll star Lyonne and an eye-popping list of guest stars such as Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny and Rhea Perlman, Poker Face is thrilling, addictive TV. See at Peacock
Fernando Decillis/Peacock Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (2024) This Peacock crime drama has a show-stopping cast and is based on true events. Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist centers on Kevin Hart's Chicken Man, a hustler who must clear his name after a bold robbery.

Peacock Dr. Death (2021-23) Wondery's popular 2018 true crime podcast Dr. Death led me to think in disbelief, "How did nobody put a stop to this guy?" Watching Peacock's TV adaptation of the podcast is a similarly maddening affair. Christopher Duntsch, a Dallas neurosurgeon, killed two patients he operated on and injured 31 others. Watch for a captivating, chilling tale about a surgeon's horrific crime wave that lasted far longer than it should have. See at Peacock
