According to Deadline, Peacock has decided to raise its prices for the first time since 2020. The streaming service will be upping its prices by $1 a month for the Premium tier and $2 a month for Premium Plus. So Peacock is raising it's prices for the first time in three years,

After the price increase, Premium will be $5.99 a month, and Premium Plus will be $11.99. Premium Plus is almost completely ad free and also includes access to live, local NBC channels and the ability to download programming. This price update will begin on August 17th for exsisting Peacock subscribers and immediatly for new users.

Peacock had 22 million subscribers as of March 31st. The survaces free, ad-supported origin had a strategic shift in 2021 when they began focusing on paid subscibers. Since this shift the survace has grown rapidly. However, the service falls behind when compasred to suvaces like Disney+, Max, Paramount+, Netflix, and Prime Video.

Peacock is currently not alone in raising their streaming survices. Some rivals have implimented multiple  pricing increases in the time that it has taken Peacock to increasae theirs.

Both live and on-demand programming on Peacock has continued to expand as NBCU has paved a path being both a competitive direct-to-consumer field and created an ongoing viewer migration to streaming and away from linear pay-TV. The platform has taken the pay-1 film release window that used to belong to third-party premium cable networks and laid claim to NBCU titles that used to go to Hulu in next-day windows along with adding full networks and experiences from WWE , Hallmark, and Reelz.

Another part of the appeal the Peacock has is live sports. Premier League soccer and evernts like the Women's World Cup and the Olympics having extensive offerings. NBCU also has exclusive rights to a NFL playoff game next January.

Need something new to watch? We've got the shows to watch in July 2023 to help pass the time in the summer. Included in this list, are most of the major streaming services, some new shows, and some new seasons of older shows plus some you've never heard of.

It wasn't an easy list to make because there are so many great shows out there to choose from but hopefully, I nailed this one. The important things I wanted to focus on were the diversity of both shows and streaming services.

In my humble opinion, there are really nine BIG streaming services that are creating shows and movies for consumers. Those are Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video, Starz, Max (formerly HBOMax), Peacock, and Disney+. Which are the best? Well, Tom's Guide has a list for you.

This is the really big Google entry along with shows to watch in July 2023. Do you start a new show or binge a couple of seasons of something that's been around for a while? Let's talk NEW SHOWS.

With so many streaming options, there are always new shows being created and coming out. One of my favorite things are limited series. This is a one-season-only engagement of a show. It's basically a movie over eight episodes (or whatever it is).

Haven't heard of it? That's because it came to Amazon Prime on July 1st of 2023 so it is brand new. According to TV Guide, " Justina Machado plays a woman freshly out of prison... after taking the fall for her drug-dealing boyfriend... her pursuit of rebuilding her life is sidetracked (or strengthened) by a little bit of "accidental" murder and cannibalism."

It's a dark comedy that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Obviously not a new show but your last chance to see Henry Cavill portray Geralt in this fantastic series before Liam Hemsworth takes over the role. The first part of the season was released in June and will finish with three episodes this month!

Another new show on the list here. It's a limited series from director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Magic Mike, Contagion) that has quite the star-studded cast.  Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, Zazie Beetz, Jharrel Jerome, and Dennis Quaid star in this show with LOTS of twists and turns.

It's a comedy/thriller that is sure to entertain. Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) plays a true-crime obsessed realtor who gets herself in the middle of quite a bit.

It's got a pretty solid rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 79% audience score!

MARVEL FANS, YOU THERE?? Yeah, you know we had to give something you would absolutely love. "It centers around the character of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) as he works with allies to stop a Skrull invasion." according to DigitalTrends.com. 

Marvel has done an incredible job keeping fans entertained between massive movie releases and this is no different.

Okay folks, buckle your seat belt because this is the show I have been most excited for for quite some time now. Idris Elba plays a negotiator who happens to be on a plane that gets hijacked. IF you have a fear of flying, I would advise not watching.

This story is covering the events on the plane in real time which isn't really something we've seen on a show since 24 (what a throwback).

I haven't heard TOO much about this show other than that Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1883, 1923) created it and it stars Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña, and Morgan Freeman (which is an insane star lineup). According to ComingSoon, "the story follows a gritty young Marine dedicated to infiltrating and dismantling a terrorist organization from the inside."

The only thing is, this show doesn't air until July 23rd. Every other show on this list is already available to you except this one! Just keep that in mind so I don't get angry emails.

This show is the least known show on this list I would bet but it's got a very unique storyline. According to ViralThrills, "Heels is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling."
