July on Peacock is dominated by one thing: the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Peacock is home to broadcasts for the latest Olympic Games, and that’s where almost all of the streaming service’s focus will be for July. Still, if you aren’t interested in the Olympics, there are some other notable premieres, along with the usual lineup of new episodes from NBC, USA and Bravo shows and newly available movies.
The latest WWE event, Money in the Bank, will stream live, and long-running Bravo reality shows “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” and “The Real Housewives of Orange County” will premiere their new seasons. On the movie front, Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black” makes its exclusive subscription streaming debut.
A drama series about ancient Rome and a reality show about bears round out this month’s Peacock highlights.
New on Peacock in July 2024: Top picks
'The Hungry Games: Alaska’s Big Bear Challenge'
Can bears star in a reality show? Just because they don’t know they’re participating in a reality TV competition doesn’t mean that it isn’t happening for these brown bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park. This three-episode series applies the style and approach of reality TV to the content of a nature documentary, as these bears prepare to hibernate for the winter.
“Our Flag Means Death” star Rhys Darby provides comedic color commentary on the efforts of these bears to get themselves ready for a very long nap. The show awards points to the bears in its categories of “beefiness, ingenuity and grit,” as they work to gain nearly 200 pounds each for their time in hibernation. It’s an amusing and informative way for reality TV fans to experience the wonder of nature.
Premieres July 11 on Peacock
'Those About to Die'
Filmmaker Roland Emmerich knows his large-scale spectacles. The director of blockbusters like “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow” turns his attention to ancient Rome with this new series, which focuses on the brutal gladiatorial competitions that stoked the bloodlust of Roman citizens and helped keep the elite in power. Anthony Hopkins stars as the Roman emperor Vespasian, with a supporting cast that includes Iwan Rheon of “Game of Thrones” and Sara Martins of “Death in Paradise.”

The series was developed by Emmerich’s longtime collaborator Robert Rodat, who worked on Emmerich films “The Patriot” and “10,000 B.C.,” adapting the classic 1958 non-fiction book by Daniel P. Mannix. Gladiators have been a screen staple since the early days of film, and in “Those About to Die,” Emmerich puts his particular bombastic stamp on the venerable genre.
Premieres July 18 on Peacock
2024 Paris Olympics
Peacock is the main home to coverage of this year’s Summer Olympics, held in Paris, France. That means all the events, including popular sports like swimming, gymnastics and tennis, with a total of 329 medal events and more than 5,000 hours of programming. If that seems too overwhelming, Peacock will offer the daily live show “Gold Zone” to guide viewers to the most important events, with highlights and commentary.
In addition to its regular coverage, Peacock will offer Spanish-language coverage from corporate sibling Telemundo, comedic recaps from Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, and the talk show “Watch With Alex Cooper,” featuring the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host joined by special guests for interactive commentary on various events. No matter what kind of Olympics coverage you’re looking for, it’ll be on Peacock.
