The Teacher

Raising Dion: Season 2

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 15

TV’s darkest, funniest comedy returns for more depraved hijinks.

Pam & Tommy

Set in the Wild West early days of the Internet, Pam & Tommy is based on the incredible true story of the Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) sex tape. Stolen from the couple’s home by a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen), the video went from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown cultural obsession when it hit the Web in 1997. A love story, crime caper and cautionary tale rolled into one, the eight-part original limited series explores the intersection of privacy, technology and celebrity, tracing the origins of our current Reality TV Era to a stolen tape seen by millions but meant to have an audience of just two. Episodes arrive weekly, with the first three landing together.

Danny McBride and John Goodman star in this laugh-out-loud comedy about a famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work – all “in the name of” Jesus. Episodes air in double-bills.

Reacher: Season 1

Based on the novel Killing Floor by Lee Child, the series stars Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: they picked the wrong guy to take the fall. Episodes arrive weekly.

Suspicion: Season 1

This eight-part political thriller begins with the son of a prominent American businesswoman (Uma Thurman) being kidnapped from a New York hotel. The eye of suspicion quickly falls on four seemingly ordinary British citizens who were at the hotel on the night in question. As they find themselves in a trans-Atlantic cat and mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted.

Bel-Air: Season 1

More than 30 years after the Fresh Prince’s life got flipped-turned upside down, Peacock is doing the same thing this February with a dramatic take on the same premise. Set in modern-day America, the one-hour drama series imagines the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a serious account of Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air.
