The 35 Best TV Shows On Peacock (December 2024)

NBCUniversal’s Peacock has carved out a reputation for being the go-to streaming service for hit sitcoms, and the lineup keeps getting better. In December 2024, Peacock has a huge release for The Office fans. On December 12, the streaming service releases The Office Superfan Episodes, Season 8, which adds extended sequences and many never-before-seen moments from the series’ filming that didn’t appear in the original episodes. The network also has a new original series coming on December 19 called Laid.

It isn’t just original Peacock and older network series that viewers can watch on the streaming service. NBC Universal owns Peacock, so when a new series premieres on NBC, it shows up on Peacock after that, and subscribers can keep up with everything from the new Brilliant Minds to popular long-time running shows like Law & Order, Chicago Fire, and Saturday Night Live.
