Peacock has released a trailer previewing footage from their 2022 series slate, which includes highly anticipated shows like Bel-Air, Vampire Academy, and Joe vs Carole. While Peacock only launched less than two years ago, the streaming service has proven to be a worthy competitor against long-established streaming giants like Netflix and Hulu. Initially, Peacock turned heads for becoming the new exclusive streaming home for The Office and Parks and Recreation. However, the streamer has gone on to see considerable success as it filled out its catalog with other hit NBC series, revivals, Peacock originals, and films from Universal, Illumination, DreamWorks, and Focus Features.
Peacock’s paid subscriber count reached 9 million in 2021, with new shows like Tina Fey’s Girls5Eva, Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, and MacGruber starring Will Forte. While the streaming service did see a $1.7 billion dollar decrease last year, Peacock is looking to change that in 2022 by focusing on its original content. Several new and returning series have been announced for Peacock this year, and the promotions are starting to roll out as these highly anticipated shows near their release dates.
Now, Peacock has unveiled a trailer including first-look footage of their upcoming shows during the 2022 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. The trailer features new footage from 15 new series, including Bel-Air, Killing It, Joe vs Carole, The Undeclared War, Angelyne, and the upcoming Pitch Perfect show starring Adam Devine. Also included are the first looks at season 2 of both We Are Lady Parts and Girls5Eva. Check out the full trailer below:
This jam-packed new trailer does a fine job of teasing thrills, comedy, and drama in the year ahead for Peacock subscribers. Bel-Air, which is arguably the most highly anticipated series of the bunch, will be kicking things off on February 13, releasing its first three episodes and then dropping a new episode every Thursday. Joe vs Carole follows shortly after that on March 3, and another series included in the trailer, Bust Down, drops on March 10. Most of the other series shown in the trailer do not have confirmed release dates, but it’s nice to at least get a glimpse at what’s in store while waiting on other official details.
Hopefully, Peacock will see its numbers grow both on the subscriber side and on the revenue side with its 2022 slate. The trailer looks promising, and for a streaming service that hasn’t really been around for that long, Peacock certainly has no shortage of content to please its audience. It will be interesting to keep track of the streamer’s performance throughout the year and see how these 15 new series contribute.
