Peacock will remove the horror film Obsession from its streaming service on November 16, 2026. The film will then move to Netflix and become available to rent on digital platforms.
Why it matters
The removal shows how quickly a low-budget film can cycle through streaming services after a strong theatrical run. For U.S. viewers, the change means the title will shift from a subscription service to Netflix and rental options.
Box office data shows Obsession grossed $524.5 million globally on a production budget of $600,000-750,000, the highest gross of any film ever made for under $1 million. The extraction does not indicate when the film will arrive on Netflix or what rental prices will apply.
The players
Peacock
Peacock is the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal that carries a mix of films, television series and live sports.
Netflix
Netflix is a global subscription streaming service that licenses and produces films and series for viewers worldwide.
The details
Obsession, written and directed by Curry Barker, was released in 2026 and runs 108 minutes. It was added to Peacock about three months before its scheduled removal on November 16, 2026, after which it will move to Netflix and become available to rent on digital platforms.
Timeline
2026: Obsession released in theaters.
November 16, 2026: Obsession leaves Peacock streaming.
Industry Dynamics
Titles that succeed in theaters are often moved between streaming platforms within months, a pattern that reflects how studios and streamers license films on rolling windows. Obsession's exit from Peacock followed by its move to Netflix illustrates how distributors shift high-performing titles among services to keep them in circulation.
Viewers who want to keep watching Obsession will need a Netflix subscription or a digital rental once it leaves Peacock on November 16, 2026. Those who do not subscribe to either service can rent the film on digital platforms after the change.
The takeaway
Streaming availability for successful films is temporary, so viewers who want to see a title should check which service carries it before the date it changes. Watching before the November 16 removal from Peacock avoids the need to find the film on another platform.
What happens next
Obsession will leave Peacock on November 16, 2026, and is scheduled to move to Netflix afterward.
