Homicide: Life on the Street Set to Stream This August on Peacock
David Simon, Tom Fontana, and Paul Attanasio's Homicide: Life on the Street will finally hit streaming - set to hit Peacock on August 19th.
"Word is that NBC has managed to finally secure the music rights necessary to sell Homicide: Life On The Streets" to a streaming platform. Andre, Richard, Yaphet, Ned, and so many others who labored on that wonderful show on both sides of the camera will soon regain a full share of their legacy. Stay tuned for more details." Those were the promising words that David Simon had to share about the influential and critically acclaimed crime drama back in June. Now, it's been confirmed – series creator Paul Attanasio's Homicide: Life on the Street (based on Simon's book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets) will be making its way to Peacock next month. On August 19th, all seven seasons of the original series (as well as Homicide: The Movie) will be available to stream – with the seasons and television movie remastered to HD and 4K.
Running on NBC from 1993 to 1999 (with a movie return in 2000) with Tom Fontana as series head writer and showrunner, the Emmy Award-winning series spotlighted the detective work of the homicide department in Baltimore. Over the course of seven seasons and a movie, the series started Andre Braugher, Ned Beatty, Richard Belzer, Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, Giancarlo Esposito, Daniel Baldwin, Jon Polito, Clark Johnson, Kyle Secor, Reed Diamond, Michelle Forbes, Peter Gerety, Isabella Hofmann, Toni Lewis, Michael Michele, Max Perlich, Jon Seda, and Callie Thorn. Here's a look back at Simon's post from June, teasing the good news:
Homicide: Life on the Street is distributed by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution in the U.S. and by Fremantle internationally.
