‘LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising’ and All the Other TV Shows Coming to Peacock This Week

Peacock’s first full week of September brings a tidy trio: a grisly true-crime return, a fresh drop from the LEGO realm, and the long-teased newsroom mockumentary spun from the world of ‘The Office.’ It’s a compact lineup, but it covers wildly different tastes—crime docs, kids’ animation, and workplace comedy—arriving across Tuesday and Thursday.

Below, you’ll find quick, useful rundowns of what each title actually is—who makes it, who’s in it, and what it’s about—plus the exact day it lands on Peacock so you can plan your queue.

‘Buried in the Backyard’ (2018– )

The Oxygen docuseries ‘Buried in the Backyard’ dissects real investigations in which victims are discovered concealed on residential properties, drawing on case files, law-enforcement interviews, and forensic specialists to reconstruct how the crimes were uncovered. The series first premiered in 2018 and arrives on Peacock on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, with a new season rolling onto the service.

Episodes are narrated by voice actor Sadie Medley and typically run in the hourlong, commercial-TV format, spotlighting cases from across the United States. Produced for Oxygen (an NBCUniversal network) and now streaming on Peacock, the show’s format blends interviews with archival materials to chart the timeline from disappearance to discovery.

‘LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising’ (2023– )

‘LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising’ continues the long-running LEGO saga with the aftermath of “the Merge,” as veteran ninja Lloyd teams with new heroes Arin and Sora to protect elemental dragons across newly fused realms. Produced by WildBrain Studios in partnership with The LEGO Group, the series brings its third season to Peacock on Thursday, September 4, 2025.

The voice cast for the franchise includes Sam Vincent, Vincent Tong, Kelly Metzger, Brent Miller, Andrew Francis, Deven Mack, and Sabrina Pitre, among others, with episodes typically running about 22 minutes. While developed as a sequel to the original ‘Ninjago’ series, ‘Dragons Rising’ is a distinct production from WildBrain’s Vancouver studio; Season 3 availability on Peacock complements the show’s broader global streaming footprint.

‘The Paper’ (2025– )

‘The Paper’ is a mockumentary comedy from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman that follows the documentary crew from ‘The Office’ as they decamp to Toledo, Ohio, to chronicle a publisher’s attempt to resurrect a historic local newspaper. The series premieres on Peacock on Thursday, September 4, 2025.

The ensemble is led by Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, with ‘The Office’ alum Oscar Nuñez among the cast; it’s produced by Universal Television for Peacock. Season 1 consists of 10 episodes, making it an easy, half-hour binge for fans of workplace comedies and mockumentary storytelling.

‘Wheel of Fortune’ (1983– )

‘Wheel of Fortune’ is the long-running American word-puzzle game show created by Merv Griffin, in which contestants spin a large wheel to determine cash and prizes as they solve hangman-style phrases on an illuminated puzzle board. The nightly syndicated version remains one of the most-watched game shows in the U.S., and it arrives on Peacock on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.

Produced by Sony Pictures Television and filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, the show is distributed domestically in syndication and typically runs about 22 minutes per episode. Gameplay staples include toss-up puzzles, a prize wedge, Bankrupt and Lose a Turn spaces, and a closing bonus round where a contestant solves a final puzzle for high-value prizes.
