Less than a month since NBCUniversal announced that Xfinity subscribers would have to start paying for Peacock after receiving the Premium package for free since the streaming service’s launch in 2020, comes word that the platform’s monthly and annual price plans are going up, effective immediately for new subscribers and starting on or after August 17 for existing users.

The cost for a Peacock Premium subscription will now cost $5.99/mo vs. $4.99/mo previously. Similarly, an annual subscription will now cost $59.99/year vs. $49.99/year previously. Additionally, the Premium Plus subscription goes up to $11.99 a month, a bump of $2.00 from the previous $9.99/mo. A yearly plan also jumps up, costing $20.00 more annually ($119.99/year vs. $99.99/year). Premium Plus Add-On pricing goes up $1.00 (from $5.00 to $6.00). 

The Premium subscription, which remains the most popular offering, will continue to provide customers access to stream 80,000+ hours of the best in TV, movies, and sports, along with New & Hit Shows, Films & Originals, LIVE Sports & Events, Current NBC & Bravo Shows and 50+ Always-On Channels. Meanwhile, the Premium Plus package will provide everything in Premium but also includes No Ads (Limited Exclusions*), Download & Watch Select Titles Offline and access to Your Local NBC Channel LIVE, 24/7.

In an email sent to current subscribers, Peacock notes, “As a current subscriber, you’ll receive one additional month at the current price. The new pricing will be effective on your next billing date on or after August 17, 2023.”

For those who are currently receiving Peacock on an offer, such as the $1.99/mo or $19.99/annual subscription options provided in September 2022 when “Days of our Lives” became a Peacock exclusive series or when NBCUniversal programming from brands such as NBC, Bravo, USA Network, et al. became available as next day offerings after the Hulu deal expired, don’t fret: “Your promotional pricing will continue through the end of the promotional period.” However, “if you are on an offer and upgraded to Premium Plus for $5/mo., your price for the Premium Plus Add-On will increase to $6/mo., effective on your next billing date on or after August 17.

As of the first quarter of 2023, Peacock had approximately 22 million subscribers, placing it well behind rivals Disney+, Paramount+, Max (formerly HBO Max) and Hulu. Updated subscriber numbers will be reported later this year, the first which will show how many subscribers the service may have lost since dropping Xfinity subscribers who received access at no extra cost.

Check out the new price plan for Peacock below.

More reason to cancel Peacock with the price increase. I'm going to watch the British Open this weekend and then cancel my subscription. I just can't  stomach Days of our Lives anymore.

My special pricing was a Black Friday promotional deal, and it runs for a year, so I will end it leading up to that time. Other than a few programs, I really don’t watch that often. I find myself watching Pluto TV more and more often these days, knowing that they stream episodes of Frasier.

It isn't that much of an increase so I'll keep it.  I watch Bravo and Hallmark content.. plus they have a decent horror movie selection.   It's still cheaper then Disney+ or Netflix... which I canceled.

Still... I watch Tubi for a lot of older movies and tv shows (like Facts of Life, Family, Eight is Enough, etc).

Another Peacock price increase: July 2024

Summer 2024:
NBCUniversal is hiking the price of Peacock for the second time in two years, tacking $2 onto the cost of the streaming service this summer, around the time of the Paris Olympics.

Beginning in July 2024, the monthly price for Peacock Premium will increase to $7.99.

Premium Plus, which offers limited advertising, download capability and live local programming, will now be $13.99. 

Annual plans will go up to $79.99 for Premium and $139.99 for Premium Plus.

The change will take effect starting July 18, 2024 for new customers, and for existing subscribers at their next billing date on or after August 17, 2024.

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
