What’s New on Peacock in June? Catch ‘Strung,’ World Cup Matches and More

It seems like just yesterday that LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) was sent to infiltrate a local street-racing crew headed up by Dominic “When You’re Here, You’re Family” Toretto (Vin Diesel). But if you can believe it, that scenario — the plot of The Fast & The Furious — was 25 years ago. In celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary, Peacock is dropping the original film on June 1, and three more sequels will also stream on the platform this month, including 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast X.

Love Island USA, hosted by Ariana Madix, has been the show of the summer for the past few years, thanks to its addictive drama and daily episodes. The eighth season of the dating show, set in a villa in Fiji where the 12 contestants live and try to fall in love, begins on June 2. Episodes air nightly on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT (with the exception of Wednesdays) for six weeks.

There was one person who managed to evade the spotlight when Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, and that was the show’s creator, Lorne Michaels. Though Michaels appeared sporadically in some of the documentaries about the show (all of which are great and also on Peacock), his story was never thoroughly told until now. The new documentary Lorne takes a look at the creator of Saturday Night Live and explores how the man’s and the show’s legacies will be forever linked. Lorne features interviews with tons of illustrious SNL alums like Tina Fey, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Bowen Yang and more, and it arrives on Peacock on June 5.

While Fox and FS1 will be showing every 2026 FIFA World Cup match in English this year, Peacock will be the home to every Spanish-language broadcast of the tournament. Matches will be available on every tier of the streamer, and can be found on its robust World Cup hub that features matches, alternate views of games, the ability to create brackets and more. Matches begin on June 11 and run through the final on July 19. 

Hosted by Comedians Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, Las Culturistas is a hilarious podcast that pays homage to every little thing in pop culture and often features some of the world’s biggest stars as guests. The Las Culturistas Culture Awards honor some of culture’s biggest and most obscure moments “with humor and unapologetic specificity,” as one expects from these two hosts. The award show features over 100 unique award categories that you didn’t know you needed in your life, like “Best Vibe, Hands Down” and “Best Celebrity Nature Name” and it will be simulcast on Peacock and Bravo on Wednesday, June 17, from 9 p.m. – 11 p.m. ET/PT.

The underrated drama The Capture, which originally aired on BBC One, is back with another season on Peacock. The detective series explores the all-too-realistic threat of deepfakes used to manipulate police investigations, as the police find themselves dealing with a new deepfake technology called Correction. It’s made it almost impossible to parse out what’s real and what’s not. All six hour-long episodes of season three will arrive on June 18. 

Chloe Bailey stars in Strung, a new psychological thriller produced by Tyler Perry and Jason Blum. Bailey stars as Laila, a violinist hired as a music tutor for the daughter of a wealthy family. While life is luxe and lavish on the outside, things aren’t what they seem once she sinks deeper into their world, and the more she becomes entangled in their lives, the more she questions her safety and sanity. The film’s cast also includes Lynn Whitfield, Anna Diop and Coco Jones.
