While many of the shows mentioned above — including the first season of Yellowstone and all Peacock Originals — are available to watch via Peacock’s free tier, this may change at some point in the future.

Other original projects currently in development at Peacock include a dramatic adaptation of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air called Bel-Air, a new series based on Will Forte’s MacGruber character, and a Spanish language dramedy called Armas de Mujer.

With all of that in mind, it’s the perfect time to sign up and see if Peacock’s free tier or Premium plans are the better fit for you.
