Peacock’s June 2026 lineup has something for everyone

From Love Island USA to the FIFA World Cup, Peacock is loading up for summer

Peacock is not easing into summer. The streaming platform is opening June with a lineup that stretches from reality TV to documentary film to global soccer, with a side of early-2000s nostalgia for good measure.

Love Island USA returns for a fresh season of drama

Love Island USA kicks things off on June 2 with its eighth season. Ariana Madix returns as host, welcoming a new group of islanders to the villa and another round of televised romance, rivalry and elimination. The show has built a devoted following since its US debut, and Season 8 arrives with the same format fans have come to expect, wrapped in fresh faces and fresh chaos.

For viewers looking to fill the gaps between episodes, The Capture returns on June 18 for its third season. The British crime thriller centers on deepfake technology and manipulated evidence, raising questions about truth and trust in an era where both feel fragile. It is a sharp tonal counterpoint to villa life.

A rare look at the man who built Saturday Night Live

On June 5, Peacock debuts Lorne, a documentary offering rare access to Lorne Michaels, the producer who turned Saturday Night Live into a five-decade cultural institution. The film comes from Academy Award-nominated director Morgan Neville, whose prior work includes Won’t You Be My Neighbor? It features appearances from a long list of talent who passed through Studio 8H over the years.

For anyone who has ever wondered how one person sustained something that ambitious for that long, this is probably the closest answer available on screen.

Shrek and The Fast and the Furious turn 25

Both Shrek and The Fast and the Furious mark their 25th anniversaries this month, and Peacock is streaming films from both franchises beginning June 1. The timing is a reminder that green ogres and street racing have a surprisingly long shelf life.

Strung also joins the Peacock originals slate on June 26, rounding out a month heavy on new content.

A World Cup hub built entirely in Spanish

For the FIFA World Cup 2026, Peacock is launching an all-new Spanish-language hub with interactive schedules, replays, highlights and match features. It marks the first time the platform has offered this kind of dedicated World Cup experience in Spanish, which feels overdue given the size of the Spanish-speaking audience in the US.

The platform is also adding interactive mini-games tied to its existing programming. Jeopardy! Today brings mobile trivia with clues written by the actual Jeopardy! team. Law & Order: Clue Hunter lets players work through crime scenes and identify suspects drawn from the franchise’s long history.
