Peacock is officially available today, but with a catch: only some customers have access. Comcast’s Xfinity X1 and Flex customers across the U.S. will be the first to try out NBC’s new streaming service for free. The Comcast-exclusive offer comes months before the general public will have access to the service.
If you’re one of the lucky customers, you’ll have access to an early preview of the premium version of Peacock, Variety reports. Peacock Premium comes with ads, but is available to Comcast users at no extra cost as part of the initial rollout. For customers who use Comcast but aren’t included in the Xfinity X1 or Flex users, Peacock will be available starting April 30.
With its initial launch to Comcast customers, the bulk of content on Peacock will be made up of past favorites and not new originals. Because of the coronavirus, production on Peacock originals has been shut down and many of them have been delayed to 2021.
That being said, Peacock will offer over 15,000 hours of content all available today, including shows like Law & Order: SVU, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and House; and movies like E.T., Shrek and Jurassic Park. In addition to the shows and movies on the service, Peacock users will have early access to NBC’s late-night shows, Late Night With Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The early preview for Comcast customers will also feature some kids’ original programming: Where’s Waldo? and Cleopatra in Space will be both included.
Curious about Peacock but not a Comcast customer? NBC is fully launching the app to the general public this summer on July 15. When Peacock becomes widely available, it will cost $4.99 per month with ads, and $9.99 per month for a version without ads. Comcast and Xfinity customers will have the option to pay $5 per month for ad-free Peacock Premium in July, once their free period ends. If you’re willing to skimp on the content, Peacock will also have a free option for all users, but it will have a smaller library — 7,500 hours versus 15,000 for paying subscribers — and will come with ads.
