5 shows on Peacock you should stream this October (2023)

1. The Continental: From the World of John Wick (2023)

Fans of the John Wick film series will be able to enjoy an action-packed prequel episode that reveals the origins of the assassins' hotel, thereby expanding the world of the film series. Set in the 1970s, The Continental: From the World of John Wick centers on a teenage Winston Scott, who was portrayed by Ian McShane in the original series. Colin Woodell now plays the part of the character in a bolder and more carefree manner. The narrative begins with the building's hostile takeover by Mel Gibson's character, the original mafioso owner, and establishes the guidelines and style of the Continental.


2. We are Lady Parts (2021-Present)

We Are Lady Parts is perhaps one of the best comedies on Peacock right now. It delves into the ridiculous realities of female friendship, familial responsibilities, and societal norms, as seen through the eyes of Nida Manzoor (Doctor Who). A nerdy Ph.D. student Amina Hussein, joins an all-female punk rock band. A delightful and underrepresented portrait of young Muslim women in contemporary England is skillfully provided by the series which is a must-watch!


3. Bel-Air (2022-Present)

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air starring Will Smith was a trendsetting sitcom. When it was remade as a serious drama, there were doubts about it but the series has truly impressed fans. As it turns out, the new version of the series has evolved into a somber television show that explores issues of race and class, elevating Will's cultural shock upon moving from West Philadelphia to Bel-Air above the humorous level (of the original series).


4. Yellowstone (2018-Present)

There's a good reason why Yellowstone is the buzz of the town; it's like a modern-day Western Game of Thrones. The dysfunctional Dutton family, who have held Yellowstone Ranch, the largest ranch in Montana, for generations, is the focus of this neo-western starring Kevin Costner. It is full of moments of betrayal and carnage that are sure to make for a great watch this October.


5. Chucky (2021-Present)

October is time for Halloween and the list would be amiss without a horror flick. Chucky is the sequel to the beloved Child's Play horror franchise. Chucky is a killer doll that embarks on a killing spree in a tiny New Jersey town after being bought by a 14-year-old boy called Jake (Zachary Arthur) at a yard sale. In this exciting reboot of the horror genre, Chucky appears to be corrupting his new owner even more and is making every effort to nurture a new criminal accomplice.


Peacock has a host of shows to make your October viewing worth your while, and check out the shows from this handpicked list for a great viewing experience!
