Hallmark content began streaming on Peacock in 2022, with a source terming it 'a successful partnership.' But now that Hallmark has its own streaming service, Hallmark+, it's decided to move all of its content there. (Hallmark+, which rebranded and relaunched in September, currently costs $7.99 per month, or $79.99 annually.)
In November, Hallmark announced that its popular drama The Way Home would debut its new season exclusively on Hallmark+, with a plan to eventually air it months later on Hallmark Channel. But after a fan protest, Hallmark reversed its decision, moving Season 3 of The Way Home back to Hallmark Channel for a January premiere. The Way Home was renewed for Season 4 in March.
Will you miss watching Hallmark content on Peacock? Will this inspire you to switch over to Hallmark+? Let us know what you think in the comments.

When is the 'Love Island USA' Season 7 reunion? Date, hosts, where to watch
The drama from the "Love Island USA" Season 7 cast didn't stop when the islanders walked out of the villa. Fans have been keeping up with their favorite contestants through post-show interviews, social media posts, and strategic brand deals. While some have been more active online, others have stayed under the radar. However, similar to Season 6, the cast members will be able to appear on our television screens and share their experience, address conflicts, and lay rumors to rest at their reunion, slated to air in late August. Here's what we know about the upcoming reunion. When is the 'Love Island USA' Season 7 reunion? The "Love Island USA" Season 7 reunion is scheduled for Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock. It will be spearheaded by official host Ariana Madix, who will be joined by longtime television host Andy Cohen. The two will ask the contestants everything fans want to know. "I have great love for Olandria and Amaya Papaya. I think Nic seems really sweet. I think there are a lot of questions for Ace. I think a lot to talk about with her," Cohen told Vulture at a recent awards event. "I'm so grateful that Ariana is allowing me to co-host this," he continued. More 'Love Island USA' drama "Love Island USA" Season 6 and "Love Island: Beyond the Villa" star JaNa Craig made headlines this week after breaking up with fellow islander Kenny Rodriguez. The timeline became flooded with speculation about their split. Craig informed fans that she had seen "all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting, and disappointing it truly is" in a July 28 Instagram story. Rodriguez later replied via a social media post saying: "I'll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created. I release this chapter with no ill will, only a hope that JaNa's path forward brings her nothing but happiness." Later, other popular members from Season 6 came to her defense and unfollowed Rodriguez on Instagram. They accused him of being racist and chasing clout.

Ice-T sparks concern with 'Law & Order: SVU' injury gag
Ice-T may be in need of an ice pack, or at least his TV counterpart Detective Fin does. The Grammy-winning rapper and actor, who stars as Odafin Tutuola on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," teased his return to the long-running crime drama in a playful Instagram post on July 31. Ice-T, who joined the iconic NBC series in 2000, shared a photo of his character sporting a gnarly black eye and cut lip. "Back filming SVU and the first scene I shoot…." Ice-T wrote in the post's caption, using an expletive before quickly reassuring fans, "It's in the script." Viewers won't have to wait long to see what crime-fighting adventures Det. Fin and the rest of the "SVU" gang, which includes show leads Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, have been up to in the streets of New York City. Season 27 of "SVU" is expected to launch on Sept. 25 alongside the Season 25 premiere of flagship series "Law & Order," according to the official NBC website. New episodes will air on Thursdays and be available to stream on Peacock the following day. During an October 2024 interview with The Guardian, Ice-T, who initially made a name for himself in the rap scene of the late 1980s and early '90s, reflected on his unlikely "Law & Order" stint after appearing in crime dramas such as "New Jack City," "Mean Guns" and "Sonic Impact." "They called me to do four episodes, and it just kept on giving, 25 years later," Ice-T, 67, told the British outlet. "Hip-hop was doing this paradigm shift away from acts like me, Public Enemy and Ice Cube into this weird other world where I wouldn't have survived." He added, "So, maybe it was like a lifeboat pulling up next to me. Like, OK: Time for you to change your main hustle. It's been a good ride, and it keeps me contained — when you're a musician and only a musician, you got a lot of free time, and that free time can get you in trouble." Ice-T and Pink Floyd: Rapper says band gave rare approval for 'Comfortably Numb' sample Ice-T's black eye photo prompts playful concern on social media In the comments section, Ice-T's realistic "SVU" make-up for his character's injury had some of the rapper-actor's famous peers reaching for their own emergency alert. "Man, before I read the caption, I was about to come to the house with Uncle Tony 😂❤️," Premium Pete wrote. "OG! I immediately start thinkin', 'Oh ... We about to crash out,' " Big Court commented. "I ain't about to post what went through my mind. 🤦🏾 Glad it's make-up though. 😂😂😂" 'Law & Order: SVU': These 2 cast members won't be back next season "Had me worried for a second — excellent work by the makeup team," Alycia Miller wrote. "I am glad it's just for SVU! ❤️" "Was getting ready to launch missiles..🫡," King T wrote, while Edwin Robinson II added, "I was about to send the prayer angels down… 😂😂😂"

Law And Order: Organized Crime Is Returning To NBC, And I Have Questions After One Star Was So 'Excited' About Getting To Drop F-Bombs On Peacock
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Fans of Law & Order: Organized Crime have been waiting since back in June of the 2025 TV schedule to learn if Christopher Meloni's SVU spinoff will be renewed for Season 6, following its first season as a streaming original for those with a Peacock subscription. Well, OC is coming back to TV soon... sort of. The drama will return to its former 10 p.m. ET time slot on NBC, but not for a sixth season. Starting this fall, the network will air the fifth season that is already available streaming. While I have no complaints about an excuse to watch the episodes again, I do have questions about how NBC will handle the F-bombs and increased violence that could fly on Peacock. Now, I won't drop any spoilers about the season beyond that there were times that it felt like a totally different show and the ways that the series felt more realistic in Season 5, but the big news reminded me of what star Rick Gonzalez told CinemaBlend about getting to swear. NBC Is Bringing Law & Order: Organized Crime Back To Thursday Nights First things first! NBC's release of its fall 2025 lineup didn't include too many surprises, with One Chicago returning to Wednesdays, The Voice holding onto slots on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the Law & Order/Law & Order: SVU duo coming back to Thursdays. The shocker was that Law & Order: OC was listed in its old time slot of 10 p.m. ET on Thursday nights, following SVU at 9 p.m. ET. While I was momentarily excited by the idea that OC had been renewed for Season 6 and returning to NBC, Deadline cleared up what's happening: Season 5 is getting broadcast on network television. According to the outlet, the fifth season wasn't as dark as expected and could run for the 10 p.m. ET primetime slot and potentially reach a new audience. It remains to be seen if/how this will affect Organized Crime having a future on Peacock or NBC, but I still have questions about how OC will be moved back to its old slot. Even if less dark than expected, there are some lines crossed on Peacock that certainly never happened when OC was on network. That includes F-bombs, and it turns out that Rick Gonzalez was about as big of a fan of dropping them on camera as his character, Detective Bobby Reyes, was. What Rick Gonzalez Told Us About F-Bombs On Peacock Now, anybody who has watched an R-rated movie tweaked for broadcast television or an HBO show cut for basic cable undoubtedly knows that it's not hard to just silence an expletive or dub it over with another word. I wasn't a big fan of how Suits approached dropping F-bombs on USA, but it's doable. In fact, when I live-blogged the version of the OC Season 5 premiere that aired on NBC after already seeing the version that streamed on Peacock, I noticed that "fucking dolls" on the streamer was changed to "stupid dolls" on the network. But it was just fun to see the detectives a bit more unleashed on Peacock, and Reyes in particular embraced the new F-bomb freedom. When I spoke with Rick Gonzalez and got the scoop on what he "spoke with the writers" about for a big Reyes episode, I had to ask about characters getting to... expand their vocabularies, so to speak, on Peacock, and he shared: I knew that. I was excited for that. I was like, 'This is great. What can I say?' And I'm just literally on set telling the director and the writers, like, 'So can I say the F-bomb right now?' They're like, 'Yeah,' and I'm like, 'Well, great, because I'm gonna say that right now!' For all those times where they made me say, 'Screw that!' ... No, it's time. "Screw that!" really didn't do justice to some of what would go down on Law & Order: Organized Crime even during its NBC days, so who could blame Gonzalez for being excited about getting to shift over to "Fuck that!" on Peacock? When I noted in our interview that some of the murders from the first four seasons weren't really "Gosh dang it" kinds of situation, he agreed, saying: We don't need to 'screw' those murders. We need to get to it. For as excited as Rick Gonzalez was to drop F-bombs and clearly made the most of the opportunities to do so, he shared that there was another fun element of Season 5 moving past the NBC language barriers. After sharing that it was "not tough at all" to get used to the new normal on Peacock, he said: For me, I got a kick out of just seeing Stabler say curse words. I'm like, 'No, give him all the curse words. We need to see more F-bombs out of Stabler.' Who else can think of some specific instances that Stabler might have dropped an F-bomb back in his SVU days? That's not even to mention all the twists that really called for some harsher language once he moved over to launch Organized Crime! So, I'm left with questions. Will NBC dub over every "fuck" like what happened when the Season 5 premiere aired on NBC? Or just silence them so that there's a gap in the dialogue? Or is there a reality in which Stabler or Reyes or anybody else could actually go beyond the usual "Screw this" or "Damn that" that might usually be possible on network TV? While I'm not expecting anybody to be shouting any Peacock-level expletives on NBC, shows that air in the 10 p.m. slot can often get darker than episodes that air during early hours. Just look at how Chicago P.D. compares to Chicago Fire and Chicago Med elsewhere on NBC! Whether or not you've already seen the episodes on Peacock, Law & Order: Organized Crime begins its full Season 5 run on Thursday, September 25 at 10 p.m. ET, following the Season 27 premiere of Law & Order: SVU at 9 p.m. ET and the Season 25 premiere of Law & Order at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Law & Order will be back without one series regular, although a guest star already pitched how his character could be a great fit to join full-time.
