After Parks and Rec leaves Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video this October it will be heading to Peacock. See? Leslie Knope will never leave you. At the moment it’s unclear exactly when Parks and Recreation will be on NBC’s new streaming service, but we can likely expect it to appear after October 1. Decider has reached out to Peacock for further info.
This move is good news even if you have yet to sign up for Peacock. Even if you don’t want to pay for anther TV service, the streaming hub has a free tier. While we don’t know for sure if Parks and Rec will be included to watch for free with ads there’s a very good chance at least a few episodes will be available without requiring you to pay a dime. As a wise man once said, sometimes you need to work a little so you can ball a lot.
