It’s part of Peacock’s current top-watched lineup.

‘Honey Don’t!’ (2025)

A dark-humor crime caper, this new feature follows a high-risk scheme that widens as new players enter, leaning into neo-noir beats and momentum-driven plotting. Marketing highlights shifting alliances, razor-edged dialogue, and an ensemble approach. It slots alongside recent crime comedies that favor brisk runtimes and character interplay. It’s among the titles trending with Peacock viewers this week.

‘Haunted Wedding’ (2024)

New to Peacock this week, this paranormal mystery centers on engaged ghost hunters whose nuptials at a famously haunted inn are derailed by an 18th-century bride who mistakes the groom for her lost love. Janel Parrish stars, with direction by Jeff Beesley and a blend of practical effects and cozy-gothic locations. The story uses journals, artifacts, and local lore as the couple unravels a centuries-old tragedy. It’s part of the latest batch of arrivals on the service.

‘The Mouse Trap’ (2024)

A new horror title on Peacock’s big weekly drop, this thriller traps lead character Alex inside an arcade where a masked killer hunts her through deadly setups.

It’s positioned among a large set of fresh arrivals spanning horror, animation, and cult favorites. The listing notes its arrival in the current release window.

‘Furious 7’ (2015)

James Wan’s entry shifts the franchise into a globe-spanning revenge thriller, with Deckard Shaw targeting Dominic Toretto’s crew and the “God’s Eye” surveillance program as a key plot device. Major set pieces include aerial car drops, skyscraper jumps, and a downtown Los Angeles showdown, combining stunt-driven action with VFX. The production completed additional work after Paul Walker’s death using existing footage, stand-ins, and compositing. It’s one of the high-profile catalog films newly rotating onto Peacock this week.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ (2012)

Drew Goddard’s genre-twister follows five friends at a remote cabin while a separate control room manipulates events for a ritual, reframing classic horror setups.

Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford anchor the monitoring team, with a late-act Sigourney Weaver appearance tying the thematic reveal together. It’s among the week’s notable horror arrivals on Peacock.

‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s meta-slasher pairs a whodunit structure with self-aware “rules,” centering on murders in Woodsboro and a core ensemble led by Neve Campbell. Kevin Williamson’s script layers red herrings through phone-call set pieces and school-hallway suspicion. The approach launched a long-running series with evolving Ghostface identities and returning characters. It’s currently charting on Peacock’s most-watched list.

‘Corpse Bride’ (2005)

Co-directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, this stop-motion feature uses hand-crafted puppets, miniature sets, and frame-by-frame capture to tell a story split between the living world and a bustling underworld. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter lead the voice cast, with Danny Elfman’s score and songs integrated into pivotal transitions. The production showcases meticulous lighting and design typical of modern stop-motion pipelines. It’s one of the animated titles trending with Peacock viewers.

‘The Grinch’ (2018)

Illumination’s adaptation casts Benedict Cumberbatch as the grumpy resident of Mount Crumpit, expanding the classic holiday tale with additional beats for Cindy-Lou and the Grinch’s daily routine. Co-directors Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney apply a bright, contemporary visual style to Whoville and its holiday spectacle.
