Today is your last day to subscribe to Peacock before they raise their prices: Here are 5 shows that make it worth it
Despite all the cost increases, Peacock does have one pretty big thing going for it: the streamer will feature more live sports than Amazon Prime, Paramount+, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV and Netflix combined in 2026, making it a must-have for sports enthusiasts. Currently, you can catch everything from Premier League soccer to WWE, golf, cycling, and much more on the platform.
Not interested in sports? There's one more option available: Peacock is also going to be rolling out a new pricing tier called Peacock Select for $7.99/month that will offer access to all next-day NBC and Bravo entertainment content and older library content (but will not include Peacock original shows and movies or sports).
Despite the significant price jump, we still love a lot of Peacock programming, from shows like The Traitors and Poker Face to it's impressive sports coverage. Here's what you need to know about how to subscribe today and lock in the current annual rate and watch Peacock for less in the coming year.
What to watch on Peacock:
Not sure what to watch with a Peacock subscription? The platform has an extensive library of classic shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Office and Law & Order, Bravo originals like The Real Housewives franchise and Below Deck, and great movies like Drop and The Bad Guys, and live sports, including WWE, Premier League Soccer and NFL games. Still need more options? Here are five of our favorite shows on Peacock to convince you:
The Traitors
Actor Alan Cumming has assumed his best role yet in Peacock's original reality competition series The Traitors. The premise: Cumming has invited a group of celebrities, from reality stars to politicians and athletes, to his castle in the Scottish highlands where they'll engage in a murder mystery. Cumming secretly names some of his guests as Traitors, and night after night, the Traitors "murder" the remaining contestants, dubbed the Faithfuls, who are then eliminated from the game, while the Faithfuls have to suss out and try and eliminate the Traitors.
There are alliances, there's deception, there are surprise murders – and it's tons of campy fun covered in tartan.
Stream on Peacock
Poker Face
Natasha Lyonne as an amateur detective in a case-of-the-week style mystery show is great TV. In Poker Face, the show created by Knives Out director Rian Johnson, Lyonne stars as Charlie Cale, a woman with the uncanny ability to tell when someone is lying.
Like Murder, She Wrote and Columbo before it, every episode is a who's who of celebrity guests. Season two, which just ended, features appearances from Cynthia Erivo, Giancarlo Esposito, John Mulaney and Sam Richardson, among many others.
Stream on Peacock
The Day of the Jackal
Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser took aim at The Day of the Jackal at this year's award ceremony, saying 'Eddie Redmayne did TV this year. He's nominated for Peacock's The Day of the Jackal. It's about a top-secret elite sniper who no one can see — because he's on Peacock."
Even Redmayne laughed, but don't let the show's quiet presence stop you from checking it out, it's a great crime thriller based on the 1971 novel by Frederick Forsyth. Redmayne stars alongside Moses Ingram in the assassin's cat-and-mouse game and you can binge the whole thing in one go.
Stream on Peacock
Yellowstone
Thanks to a deal struck before Paramount+ even existed in its current form, five seasons of the Paramount Network's hit show Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as rancher John Dutton, are available on Peacock. (The show's numerous spinoff prequels are on Paramount+ though, just to keep you on your toes.)
Stream on Peacock
We Are Lady Parts
There are two seasons of the great British sitcom We Are Lady Parts available of Peacock. The show follow a British punk band called Lady Parts, which consists entirely of Muslim women, after their new guitarist, the timid biology student Amina (Anjana Vasan) joins them. As they try to find their audience, Amina struggles to find a comfortable middle ground between her traditional home life and her new life as a musician.

FibroBiologics Files Patent for Methods of Generating Multipotent Cells from Donor Tissue for Clinical Applications
HOUSTON, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ('FibroBiologics'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 275+ patents issued and pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived materials, announced the filing of a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering methods of generating multipotent cells from fibroblasts found in donor tissue for clinical applications. Multipotency refers to a flexible cellular state in which a cell has the potential to differentiate into multiple specialized cell types, depending on the environmental conditions or stimuli it encounters. While stem cells have garnered the most attention on being multipotent, fibroblasts are also considered multipotent and can be directly differentiated into many cell types including chondrocytes, osteocytes, hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes. This patent application broadly relates to methods for generating multipotent cells directly from fibroblasts found in human donor tissues. 'This method provides us with the ability to obtain larger quantities of stable and easily scalable multipotent cells from donor-derived fibroblasts for use in clinical applications,' said Hamid Khoja, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of FibroBiologics. 'Multipotent fibroblasts also show enhanced ability to form 3D spheroid structures, further expanding their potential across a range of therapeutic and drug development areas.' Pete O'Heeron, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FibroBiologics, said, 'By enabling the generation of stable, multipotent cells directly from donor tissue, this innovation addresses long-standing challenges in the field and opens new possibilities for scalable, regenerative treatments.'

"'Oh, This Is Whole Foods?'": People Share Their Experiences With Very, Very Wealthy Friends, And I'm Genuinely Shocked At How Out Of Touch They Are
Unfortunately, wealth disparity exists in this world. Cough — the Bezos-Sánchez $50 million wedding comes to mind. In r/ask, when someone asked, "Something your rich friends have said that made your jaw drop?", people weighed in on how this exists all around us. And wow, what a peek into a gilded reality. Here's what people had to say: 1."A group of us went to McDonald's, and after he got his cheeseburger, he went back to the counter to ask them to center his cheese." —bunk3rk1ng 2."'I don't get it. What would he need two jobs for?'" —superkow 3."I accidentally found out that what I made in a year, working full time, he made in a month. Yeah, I knew he was wealthy, but that put it into perspective." —Interesting_Day2277 4."I had the 17-year-old daughter of a rich acquaintance visit our city with a few of her friends for spring break. I was helping her check into their hotel (the most expensive one in the city) when she decided she didn't like the suite and wondered if an upgrade was available. Indeed, there was —the penthouse, but it would cost an additional $8k or more. Without batting an eye, she whips out HER CREDIT CARD and says, 'Use this one.' A 17-year-old with a five-digit credit card limit, who didn't need her parents' permission to use it, just blew my mind." —Middle-Luck-997 5."I was a council house kid. I went to school with lots of better-off kids and some rich ones. Some were OK, but some didn't seem to understand, or care, for that matter. What gets me is the calm acceptance. You want a new bicycle? Here, have one. Clothes? Sure, have what you like. A Bang & Olufsen stereo for your room? Here it is, son. Motorbikes, cars, even houses. No problem. Must be nice to have 'stuff,' although some of the parents weren't that interested in their kids from what I could see. A couple of the blokes I've known later in life who came from monied families, reckoned they were basically treated as an inconvenience, and packed off to boarding school as soon as possible." WB / Via —Amplidyne 6."Not friends, but some estranged family I've recently connected with dropped this line: 'We're middle class.' Yet, they own three houses, multiple business ventures, and she does triathlons all over the world. They just extended their vacation in, I think, Guam, because she wanted to adopt two dogs off the street, but couldn't bring them home during their current vacation time due to the pups' health concerns. Completely out of touch. Also, they asked me, 'Why do you guys rent in San Diego when you could just buy a house instead and build up the equity?' Like that's a possibility." —nobeer4you 7."'We'll keep it small, just a few friends over.' It turned out to be a 50-person party with wedding-worthy flowers, an eight-person catering staff, and two live entertainment acts. 12 people I didn't know brought presents for my son." —NightSisterSally 8."'I traveled economy once. Ugh, it was so narrow.'" —shiroandae 9."'How did your parents invest the money they saved for you?' Bro. My parents didn't save money for me. They fed me, clothed me, supported me, and paid for some extracurriculars. I'm grateful. Not all parents have the ability to save as well." —Foreign-Yak-3223 10."One didn't notice an entire family gym membership leaking out of their bank account for a year. They thought they'd canceled it. It was £300 a month." —South-Bank-stroll 11."'We need poor people for society to function.'" —Poulop 12."Their parent's salary equates to my lifetime income." —Intelligent_Way_9450 13."His parents bought him a house near the university because they didn't see the point in paying for a year of rent." —Financial_Change_183 14."A friend from uni gave me a ride in a $50k Mercedes. I said it was a cool car, and he said, 'You should have seen the other one,' but he crashed it. It was a $100k car. Mind you, we were 18 and 19 at the time." —SignalElderberry600 15."A best friend growing up got a full ride to go to college, even though he was filthy rich. Our friend group was talking about student loans, and he chimed in, saying he took out $20k in loans and spent it on shoes and liquor because that's what college is about. We stopped talking." —Cocoononthemoon 16."A woman I worked for recommended a $35 mouthwash to me. It was 1.5 ounces." —chudock74 17."I heard a rich guy say that people don't use the word groceries anymore." —Hister333 "What does he mean?" —PassengerNo2022 18."I went to Whole Foods with my friend, and he said, 'Oh, this is Whole Foods? So, this is where [House Manager Name] goes to get our food!'" —Dull_Wrongdoer_3017 19."On what to do for my 18th birthday, she suggested flying my friends out to another country and renting a private yacht.

Xhaka on his way to Sunderland
Sunderland have agreed a fee worth up to €20million (£13.4m; $23.3m) for the signing of 's . The newly-promoted Premier League club are set to pay Leverkusen €15m up front with a further €5m in potential add-ons, with Xhaka set for a medical in the next 24 to 48 hours. He agreed personal terms with the Stadium of Light side, having had the option to stay in Germany or move elsewhere, including to Saudi Arabia. The 32-year-old was previously tied to Leverkusen until 2028 after joining from Arsenal in 2023. Xhaka has made 99 appearances for the German team and helped them to their first Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal in 2023/24. He made 49 appearances in all competitions last season, including ten in the Champions League. The Switzerland captain spent seven years at Arsenal and won the FA Cup twice, in 2017 and 2020. He made 297 appearances over the course of his time in north London. Sunderland have already signed six players this summer as they prepare to return to the top flight, but have sold midfielder Jobe Bellingham for £30m to Borussia Dortmund in the same window, as well as confirming the transfer of Tommy Watson to Brighton for £10m. The newly-promoted side have also brought in central midfielders Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki, wingers Simon Adingra and Chemsdine Talbi, and left-back Reinildo Mandava, while Enzo Le Fee joined the club permanently after spending the second half of last season on loan.
