‘Jeopardy!’ (1984)

The long-running quiz show arrives on Peacock on Tuesday, September 9.

Episodes are produced at Sony Pictures Studios with a returning-champion structure and three new contestants each game.

The show is hosted by Ken Jennings, with clue-writing handled by a dedicated team of writers and researchers and adjudication supported by an in-studio judging desk. The syndicated version is executive-produced by Michael Davies and regularly features special tournaments and themed events integrated into the season schedule.

‘Wheel of Fortune’ (1983)

Spinning onto Peacock on Tuesday, September 9, the word-puzzle institution—created by Merv Griffin—features contestants solving hangman-style phrases while banking cash and prizes from the signature wheel. Games are structured around Toss-Ups, main rounds with category prompts, and a high-stakes Bonus Round to close each episode.

The series is hosted by Ryan Seacrest with Vanna White at the puzzle board, supported by a puzzle-writing and editorial team that builds every phrase and category. Current gameplay elements include the Wild Card, Mystery, Express, and the Million Dollar wedge, each of which can change a player’s strategy as the game progresses.

‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ (2022)

The swashbuckling feline’s adventure comes to Peacock on Wednesday, September 10. Set in the world of ‘Shrek’, the story follows Puss after he realizes he’s down to the last of his nine lives and sets off to find the Wishing Star. Along the way he teams up with Kitty Softpaws and the ever-optimistic Perrito while facing danger from Big Jack Horner and the Goldilocks and the Three Bears Crime Family, as well as a wolf who embodies the inevitability of death.

The film is directed by Joel Crawford with Januel P. Mercado as co-director. Voice cast includes Antonio Banderas as Puss, Salma Hayek Pinault as Kitty Softpaws, and Harvey Guillén as Perrito, with Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo, John Mulaney, and Wagner Moura in key roles. The screenplay is by Paul Fisher and Tommy Swerdlow, based on a story by Tom Wheeler and Tommy Swerdlow for DreamWorks Animation.

‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’ (2025)

The concluding chapter of the Crawley family saga lands on Peacock on Thursday, September 11. Set in and around the Yorkshire estate, the film returns to upstairs–downstairs dynamics of the aristocratic family and the staff who run the house, resolving character arcs and relationships that have unfolded since the series began.

Written by ‘Downton Abbey’ creator Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis, the film is produced by Carnival Films in association with Focus Features. Returning cast includes Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Allen Leech, Robert James-Collier, and Penelope Wilton, with additional ensemble members reprising their roles from earlier entries.

‘Screamboat’ (2025)

This new horror title boards Peacock on Friday, September 12. Set during a late-night Staten Island Ferry crossing in New York City, the story follows passengers trapped onboard as a cartoon-inspired killer stalks the decks, engine rooms, and passenger corridors, turning the boat’s confined spaces into a gauntlet.

‘Screamboat’ is directed by Steven LaMorte and features David Howard Thornton in the cast. The production blends practical gore effects with stylized sequences that nod to early black-and-white animation, framing the antagonist as a sinister, rodent-like figure while an ensemble of riders and crew fight to survive the night.
