Here Are the Best Movies to Stream this Weekend on Peacock, Including ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

Peacock’s lineup this week mixes brand-new theatrical arrivals with comfort-rewatch animation, high-octane action, and a couple of Halloween-friendly chillers—so you can fill a movie night (or three) without leaving the couch.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2025)

The live-action reimagining follows Hiccup and Toothless as Vikings and dragons inch toward an uneasy peace, with Mason Thames and Nico Parker leading the cast under returning director Dean DeBlois. Practical creature work is blended with large-scale visual effects and seaside sets to stage flight scenes and grounded action. The adaptation tracks the core beats of the original story while aiming to be accessible for first-timers. It’s currently topping Peacock’s weekly charts of what viewers are pressing play on.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)

This sequel reunites Allison Williams and Violet McGraw, expanding the killer-companion premise with rival A.I. tech and bigger set pieces under director Gerard Johnstone. Practical puppetry is combined with digital augmentation to deliver the title character’s signature uncanny movement. Both theatrical and unrated cuts are available to stream, giving viewers a choice of versions. It’s one of the buzzy new additions pulling in weekend attention on Peacock.

‘Honey Don’t!’ (2025)

Ethan Coen’s dark comedy centers on a small-town private investigator whose caseload spirals into chaos, with Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans headlining. The film leans on brisk, chapter-like pacing and stylized needle-drops to propel its caper. It’s a compact, character-driven entry that widens Peacock’s slate of fresh theatrical titles. Listed among the week’s most-watched picks, it’s easy to slot into a single-sitting movie night.

‘Haunted Wedding’ (2024)

A pair of engaged ghost hunters plan to marry at a notoriously haunted inn, only to draw the attention of an 18th-century bride who mistakes the groom for her lost love. Janel Parrish and Dominic Sherwood star, with Jeff Beesley directing and Jeff Tymoschuk composing the score. The plot mixes paranormal mystery with romantic stakes as the couple mines journals and artifacts to resolve a centuries-old tragedy. It’s one of the week’s newly arriving titles highlighted in Peacock’s schedule.

‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’ (2019)

The trilogy closer sends Hiccup and Toothless searching for a fabled refuge while a ruthless dragon trapper closes in. Dean DeBlois returns to the helm, with Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera leading the voice cast and John Powell’s themes anchoring the aerial sequences. The film is noted for bioluminescent environments and intricate creature animation. It’s featured in Peacock’s current “most-watched” roundup alongside the live-action entry.

‘The Grinch’ (2018)

Illumination’s take on Dr. Seuss features Benedict Cumberbatch as the famously grumpy resident of Whoville, with Pharrell Williams narrating. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, the film expands the classic tale with new supporting characters and sleek, brightly animated set-pieces. Danny Elfman provides the score, pairing with brisk, family-friendly pacing. It’s trending among Peacock viewers this week and pairs well with early-season holiday viewing.

‘Furious 7’ (2015)

James Wan steers the franchise into a global revenge thriller as Deckard Shaw hunts Dom Toretto’s crew across Abu Dhabi, the Caucasus, and Los Angeles. The team’s mission revolves around hacker Ramsey and a surveillance program dubbed “God’s Eye,” driving sky-drop car extractions and skyscraper-to-skyscraper leaps. Production fused stunt-driven action with visual effects and completed work after Paul Walker’s death using stand-ins and compositing. It’s one of this week’s fresh arrivals on Peacock’s rotating catalog.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ (2012)

Drew Goddard’s genre-twisting horror follows five friends at a remote cabin while technicians monitor and manipulate events from a control room. The production balances practical creature work with digital effects and stacks references to classic monsters and mythologies. A late-act appearance by Sigourney Weaver ties together the film’s thematic reveal. It hits Peacock in the same weekly drop as the action heavy-hitters above.

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1’ (2010)

Peacock’s new wave of catalog additions includes this installment, with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson on the hunt for Horcruxes while on the run. Directed by David Yates and written by Steve Kloves, it shifts the series into a road-movie structure and raises the stakes for the final showdown. The spotlight article groups it within a massive batch of titles landing between late September and early October. It’s a timely anchor for a wizarding double-feature weekend.

‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s meta-slasher follows Sidney Prescott as a masked killer terrorizes a suburban high school while riffing on horror “rules.” Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette lead the ensemble, with Roger L. Jackson’s phone voice providing an iconic fright element. The movie revitalized its genre with self-aware dialogue and tightly edited chases. It’s currently highlighted among Peacock’s most-watched selections, making it a prime late-night pick.
