Peacock is welcoming back one of its biggest films of the last few years this weekend.
Twisters initially premiered on Peacock in 2024, before departing for an extended stay on Prime Video. Now it’s returned to its first streaming home, hopefully for a longer period of time.
This film was just the first pick for Watch With Us‘ roundup of the three best Peacock movies to binge-watch this weekend.
Our remaining selections are an older disaster film and a romantic comedy with a very large cast of familiar faces.
New on Peacock in January 2026 — The Full List of Movies and TV Shows
‘Twisters’ (2024)
Twisters opens with the intriguing premise that even some of the worst storms can potentially be rendered harmless. Unfortunately for Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), her experiment is such a disaster that it leaves her team trapped in the middle of a tornado. Years later, Kate and her colleague, Javi (Anthony Ramos), are the only survivors from that incident. She’s out of the storm-chasing game until Javi ropes her back in.
Out in the field, the pair meets a storm-chasing influencer, Tyler Owens (Glen Powell). whom Kate initially despises. She thinks Tyler and his team are just using the tornadoes to chase internet clout and fame. Over time, her position about Tyler softens, and it’s a good thing too, because the biggest storm they’ve ever seen is on its way. And if Kate and Tyler don’t work together, then people are going to die.

‘The Perfect Storm’ (2000)
This week, we’re going from tornadoes to hurricanes with the very well-made disaster flick The Perfect Storm. The film is based on the true story of the Andrea Gail, a fishing ship that went out to sea in 1991 and encountered some very dangerous weather. Captain Frank William “Billy” Tyne Jr. (George Clooney) has had a bad season at sea with little to show for it. And if this last trip of the season doesn’t work out, then he’ll be in dire straits.

Thanks to the efforts of Robert “Bobby” Shatford (Mark Wahlberg), Dale “Murph” Murphy (John C. Reilly), David “Sully” Sullivan (William Fichtner) and the rest of the crew, Billy can hold his head up high when they return to shore with their catch. That is, if they can return to shore. While they were out on the water, two massive storms combined into an even greater hurricane. The Andrea Gail and her crew are tough, but this is beyond what any vessel was meant to face. That’s when this story becomes a battle for survival.

‘Dog Days’ (2018)
We could have picked another disaster movie for the third and final film of the weekend. But after the intensity of The Perfect Storm, the best way to settle back down is with a light and breezy romantic comedy like Dog Days. Think of this as Love Actually with dogs, as the various stories are loosely connected through the love the characters share for their four-legged friends.
Most of the romantic sparks in this flick come from TV host Elizabeth (Nina Dobrev) and new co-host, Jimmy (Tone Bell), despite initially being at odds. There’s a love triangle between shelter owner Garrett (Jon Bass) and Tara (Vanessa Hudgens), who is dating a veterinarian named Mike (Michael Cassidy). But the most heartwarming relationships are the friendship between pizza delivery guy Tyler (Finn Wolfhard) and an elderly widower, Walter (Ron Cephas Jones), as well as the bond that grows between a married couple, Grace (Eva Longoria) and Kurt (Rob Corddry), and their newly adopted daughter, Amelia (Elizabeth Caro).
