What’s New at Peacock in May? Host the Kentucky Derby, ‘Summer House’ Reunion and more
Peacock it’s home to some of the most addictive reality series out there, including The Traitors, Love Island and House of Villains. It is also the broadcast home of Bravo franchises such as The Real Housewives, Summer House and Top Chef. But while the platform boasts a large selection of unscripted TV, you can also find well-scripted shows, including the hilarious Poker Face, dramas like All Her Fault and more.
With its vast library spanning all genres and a growing slate of original and exclusive content, it seems there’s always something new to try or old favorites to indulge in. This month in the service, there will be a new crime boss, MIA, as well as the much-anticipated Summer House reunion. If you’ve been following the real-life drama between actors Ciara, Amanda and West, you know this reunion is not to be missed.
You can also catch two of the biggest horse races of the season, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, as well as the arrival of many Quentin Tarantino films, too.
Here’s a look at the topics we’re excited to explore at Peacock in May 2026.

The Summer House (Reunion, Part 1)
Bravo’s addictive reality series Summer House endured a major scandal this season when star Amanda Batula began dating star West Wilson — the ex-boyfriend of one of Batula’s best friends, Ciara Miller. While relationship drama is par for the course for reality TV, some of the hottest buzz from this reunion season leaked this spring, adding to the tension and raising interest in the reunion special. You can hear what was said when that meeting airs on Peacock on May 27. (It will air on Bravo on May 26 at 8 pm ET)
