Get Out is back on Peacock next week, nine years and $255 million later

Right, so here’s a quick heads-up for any horror fans with a Peacock subscription: Get Out – yes, Jordan Peele’s genre-bending debut that exploded in 2017 – is coming back to the platform next month. If you missed it last time or feel the need to revisit those unsettling tea-stirring scenes, you’re in luck. It currently lives on Prime Video as well, but soon this modern horror classic will be splitting its loyalties.

‘Get Out’ returns to Peacock on 1 September 2026.

Back Where It Started

Peele wrote and directed Get Out, which pretty much turned him from comedy veteran into horror auteur overnight. The story follows Chris Washington (that’s Daniel Kaluuya), who goes with his girlfriend Rose (played by Allison Williams) for a weekend with her family. Sounds wholesome until it all goes exceptionally off-piste, with one awkward dinner party snowballing into revelation after revelation – most of them deeply disturbing. You’ve got odd behaviour from the Black staff at the Armitages’ sprawling suburban mansion, unsettling party guests, and secrets bubbling under the surface that are well worth watching unfold if you somehow haven’t already seen it.

Behind the Shivers

The cast list is a decent who’s who: Bradley Whitford pops up as Dean Armitage, Caleb Landry Jones turns up as the rather intense Jeremy, and Catherine Keener and Stephen Root are there to add a bit more unease. The full roster delivers Peele’s blend of slow-burn tension and biting satire about as well as you’ll see anywhere in horror cinema.

• Budget: $4.5 million (modest by Hollywood standards)
• Box office: Over $255 million globally, including $176 million in the US and nearly $79.4 million internationally
• Oscar glory: Four nominations at the 90th Academy Awards – it bagged Best Original Screenplay
• Rotten Tomatoes: Rock-solid 98% critic score (403 reviews), 86% audience score

If you’re wondering whether it’s just hype, those numbers are properly absurd for a film that cost about the same as a dozen Marvel catering bills. Peele basically changed the shape of horror overnight with this one, even if you’re not usually big on the genre. That return date again: 1 September 2026 – mark it if you’re the calendar type.
