6 Must-Watch Movies on Peacock Right Now (July 2025)
'Drop' (2025)
Getting back into the dating scene is a nightmare for Violet Gates (Meghann Fahy) in Drop. After years of being a single widowed mother, Violet's young son, Toby (Jacob Robinson), and Violet's sister, Jen (Violett Beane), encourage her to go on a date with Henry Campbell (Brandon Sklenar), a man she met through a dating site.
Although Violet's date with Henry starts well, she is harassed by strange and alarming messages on her phone that ultimately threaten the life of her son. And if Violet doesn't cooperate with Toby's captor and act against Henry then she may never see her son alive again.
Drop will stream on Peacock on July 11.
'The Outfit' (2022)
The Outfit takes place almost exclusively in the tailor shop of Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance) in 1956. Leonard's primary clientele is the Irish mob, as led by Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beale) and his son, Richie (Dylan O'Brien). Despite his misgivings, Leonard even lets Richie's girlfriend, Mable Shaun (Zoey Deutch), work at the shop.

Things start to unravel when Richie shows up at the shop badly wounded alongside his top enforcer, Francis (Johnny Flynn). The Boyle family is convinced that they have a rat in the organization, and the proof is waiting in the shop. As Leonard soon discovers, that intel is also worth killing over.

'Black Bag' (2025)
Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag features Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as a pair of married MI6 operatives, George Woodhouse and Kathryn St. Jean. They're far from the only couple in MI6, but their relationship status hits some roadblocks after George is told there's a traitor in MI6.
Someone close to George has leaked sensitive intel, and it's his job to determine who did it. Five people conceivably could be behind the leak, one of whom is his wife. As much as George would like to ignore that possibility, Kathryn's suspicious activities make her his No. 1 suspect.

3 Underrated Thrillers You Should Watch in June 2025
'Memento' (2000)
Before Christopher Nolan made his name directing the Dark Knight trilogy, his calling card in Hollywood was Memento. For his first trick, Nolan shows audiences the ending of Memento before they realize what it means. Then he lets the story unfold in two parallel narratives before catching up with the conclusion.
The film revolves around Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man who lost his wife and his ability to make new long-term memories due to a brutal attack. Now, Leonard's memories reset nearly every ten minutes, and he's not sure if he can trust the people around him, including Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Teddy (Joe Pantoliano). Everyone seems to take advantage of Leonard's condition, including Leonard himself.
Memento is streaming on Peacock.

Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott and Great Point Studios Founder Robert Halmi Reunite to Elevate Family-Friendly Entertainment
Former colleagues join forces to expand U.S.-based film production with a 20+ picture, multi-year deal producing original series and films domestically at Great Point Studios. NEW YORK, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott today announced a new partnership with Robert Halmi, an Emmy® and Golden Globe Award-winning producer, and his Great Point Studios. The collaboration is focused on developing high-quality, original movies rooted in family values and created for audiences seeking inspiring and meaningful entertainment. The agreement calls for nearly two-dozen films and original series to be produced by Great American Media at Great Point Studios Buffalo over the next two years. Through this partnership, the two industry veterans are building a new foundation for stateside storytelling. The initiative will also revitalize domestic film production by creating significant employment opportunities across casting, crew, and creative roles—specifically in Western New York. Abbott and Halmi, who previously helped define the modern family film genre, bring decades of production leadership to this renewed alliance and long-term partnership. Halmi is known for founding the Hallmark Channel, where Abbott served as President & CEO for 11 years prior to launching Great American Media in 2021. "This partnership is about raising the bar," said Abbott. "We are committed to producing content that not only entertains but uplifts. We want to produce these films right here in the U.S., with people who share our passion for authentic, values-driven storytelling." "I'm thrilled to reunite with Bill Abbott and support the incredible work he's doing at Great American Media," said Robert Halmi, Founder of Great Point Studios. "This partnership reflects our shared vision, and we're proud to welcome these productions to our campuses." Halmi is a legendary, multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning producer credited with producing more than 400 films. Abbott is credited with popularizing the original Christmas movie genre, with more than 1,000 original holiday films over 15 years—the highest-rated and highest-volume output in the genre. Their shared legacy includes hundreds of acclaimed productions that have shaped family viewing habits for a generation. The first movie as part of the agreement is Great American Media's A Christmas Spark starring Mario Lopez, which completed production earlier this summer at Great Point Studios Buffalo, the company's recently opened, state-of-the-art production facility. Additional films will be announced soon. "It has been a joy to produce and star in A Christmas Spark, which is slated to premiere as part of the 5th Anniversary Edition of Great American Christmas this season," said Mario Lopez. "The talent, crew, and locations in Buffalo are top notch. A Christmas Spark is deeply personal to me—I witnessed firsthand the bravery of firefighters in my community during the recent LA wildfires. This film gave me a way to honor their heroism and tell a story that reflects their sacrifice." ABOUT GREAT AMERICAN MEDIA Great American Media is home to a family-friendly portfolio of brands including Great American Family, Great American Pure Flix, and Great American Faith & Living.

'This partnership doesn't just reach our Gen Z audience, it integrates us natively in their virtual world, where discovery feels like gameplay and engagement becomes an adventure.' The gaming activation will continue to evolve through the end of the year with new creative updates, featuring new items and interactive elements as the experience progresses beyond the initial Hot Orange Chicken launch. Other campaign highlights include: Interactive Fortnite Creative Cutscenes: Custom-built cinematic moments that play mid-game to tease product reveals — a media-first for quick-service restaurant marketing. Map-Specific Rewards: Players who complete certain actions on each Fortnite Creative map unlock themed items unique to that gameplay experience. Conversational Panda Encounters: Pei Pei the Panda shows up in both Fortnite Creative and Roblox to drive engagement and build anticipation for Panda's menu offering. 'In a world where attention must be earned, this activation is a perfect example of the power of playability to drive memorable brand engagement,' said Matt Edelman, Chief Executive Officer at Super League.
