Peacock to Add 15 New Shows, Movies This Week: The 3 to Watch

The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Peacock this week (February 2-8, 2026) is adding 15 new shows, sports and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

Before I start, if you were ever thinking of subscribing to Peacock, this is the week to do so.

Super Bowl 60
When to Watch: Sunday, February 8, 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff
What’s Special: Upscaled 4K Broadcast

Yes, Peacock will simulcast NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl 60 between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The game will be streamed in upscale 4K and it should look sensational on Peacock.

2026 Winter Olympics
When to Watch: February 4-8, 2026 (Coverage continues until February 22.)

Peacock will also be the streaming home of NBC’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics. While the games do not officially begin until Friday, February 6, Peacock will begin its coverage on Wednesday, February 4, with some curling events. (They won’t curl your hair, figuratively speaking, but hey, it’s the Olympics, right?)

Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback
When to Watch: Thursday, February 5
What Kind of Show: Sports Documentary (Four parts)
Who’s In It: Maria Taylor, Doug Williams, Randall Cunningham

For younger fans, it may seem quaint to regard the concept of a ‘black quarterback’ as something special. But just a few decades ago, many coaches and general managers believed that an African American wasn’t smart enough to handle the duties and would often draft a standout college QB only to switch him to cornerback or wide receiver in training camp. This four-part Peacock original documentary, hosted by Maria Taylor, examines how the league’s thinking changed over the years and why the ‘black quarterback’ now dominates in the person of such superstars as Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. (The premiere episode streams February 5 with a new episode running every Thursday until the finale on February 26.)
